[the gesture flusters him a little but]

I'm not coming down with something, if that's what you're thinking.

[sengokus]

[yeah he's just going to lead him outside then before turning back with a huff]

... you forgot something?

[enfangs]

[he

looks away]

[sengokus]

... have you been able to figure out what's missing?

[enfangs]

... Yeah.

[sengokus]

.... do you want to talk about it?

[sengokus]

I wouldn't say that this is fine! Especially after you were dragged into a creepy blood pool by a bunch of arms?

[enfangs]

It's... not a big deal. Not like it's something that impacts my daily life or whatever.

[but there's something in his expression that suggests otherwise.]

[enfangs]

I didn't drown, so whatever!

week 5, friday

[sengokus]

[goddammit aki

but mineo is actually not going to run off today - rather, as soon as he reads the names, he's instantly going to be at white's side to check on him]

You okay?

[enfangs]

[it's hard to say exactly what white is feeling as he reads the names, beyond him going still as he stares at his phone—before he snaps to attention.]

... Shouldn't I be asking you that?

[sengokus]

[mineo's brow furrows in - confusion?]

... why?

[enfangs]

[he puts his phone away, shoving his hands into his pockets.]

You were friends with all of 'em, right?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . ]

I'm friends with pretty much everyone left. Fridays are never going to work out for me.

[but.]

I just want to make sure none of us got hurt in here, if someone was looking for Mahito-san.

[enfangs]

[...

he shrugs.]

Nothing hurts, so as far as I can tell, I'm fine.

[mainly since he hasn't noticed the scarring yet.]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he seems to sigh in relief a bit at that.]

Okay. Good. I'm gonna start searching and then making the rounds - are you staying?

[but he will move to get up and experimentally roll his own shoulder as if to make sure all of his limbs are working right - though he pauses when he catches some scarring on his bare forearm]

... huh...?

[enfangs]

[?

he moves closer so that he can get a look.]

... What the fuck?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . his brow furrows at that and he rotates his arm.]

That - wasn't there. And I wasn't awake.

[just. to reaffirm that. but he'll check his other arm and there is indeed more scarring too.]

[enfangs]

Did someone slash you in your sleep, or something...?

[though after a beat, he rolls up his sleeve to bare his arm, similarly scarred.]

[sengokus]

[his brow furrows at that and - he pauses before looking around the room]

... check the room with me? Let's see if there's anything else to find.

[enfangs]

Don't see anything... but sure.

[he starts walking around.]

[sengokus]

[mineo will also start walking around, checking the walls for phantom paw prints that are no longer there, and then after a bit - ]

.... I wonder if these are our hints.

[the scarring]

[enfangs]

... What the hell is this supposed to tell us? A hint about Mahito, or...?

[sengokus]

... well, he's not the only one with scars.

[if he's being honest.]

I have some too. Gu-san, Childe-san.... [there's a couple of warriors here?] ... but we can double-check tomorrow for a full list.

[enfangs]

He was the only one going around looking like Frankenstein, though. [he holds up a hand to where his head scar is.] But guess we'll see.
