[ Text (backdated to the start of the month) - To Kotone, Yukari, Ken | Locked to Shinjiro ]

[kirijo]

Good afternoon, everyone.

I'm writing to inform you all that it will be Aragaki-san's birthday soon. Given that we celebrated Amada-kun's recently, I thought it might be best to share this with you so that we could plan for festivities of some kind.

[ yukari feels, against all odds, good. really good. she and mitsuru's talk by the campfire while on their delivery quest helped put a lot of things from the last few months into perspective, chief among them how her self-imposed isolation left her powerless, uncertain. afraid. now that those invisible burdens are lifted, she feels as if she could do anything.

or almost anything. because no matter how much she tries engaging mitsuru or kotone in conversation, there's barely any response. neither one of them are in the same room for long, if they leave their respective rooms at all. the mood in the house has never been cheery (they've all seen too much, done too much for that), but this time despair is borderline tangible.

whatever happened while they went on their quest was bad. still, yukari decides to wait this out. maybe it's something they'd mend in time and god knows everyone was patient with her while she wallowed in her emotions. she has faith s.e.e.s.'s field leader and club president will work things out on their own.

that attitude lasts one week and a half. yukari can't spend another breakfast standing idly by as mitsuru and kotone eat in total silence and stare at their food or the floor rather than each other. she leaves the house for an errand, if only to escape the crushing atmosphere, and pulls out her phone when her head clears a little. ]

[Action] The Missing Mindful Quest

[toasterdevotion]

[ Quests... they had intrigued Aigis, of course, so she decided to tackle whichever seemed most important. The problem? What she deemed to be the most important quest, involved infiltrating a spa. She's not opposed to going to one, but it would simply be for the experience... as she doubts that there are any spas that can provide a treatment that would be effective in any way on her.

So... it might be difficult to justify staying there long enough to investigate, unless...

Mitsuru happened to be nearby, and Aigis needed someone to accompany her. Thankfully, Mitsuru obliged, and so there they were.

Checking in was simple enough... Aigis could pass off fairly easily after all with the right clothing, but then as they entered the spa building proper... ]

Eh?

[ Not that it was going to be a problem, but it was now very clear that she's... a tad robotic. ]

Mitsuru-san!?

[ She turns around immediately to check on Mitsuru, and...

Well, seems like the situation is shared. ]
