Nessa?

Did you make it okay? You made it out okay, right?

[It takes a while for her to answer. She stared at her phone for a long time before typing anything.]

I'm at my dorm

[cosplayed_out]

Is that a yes?

[warpweft]

My teammate healed me

[cosplayed_out]

Good.

...Please tell me I didn't break your leg.

[warpweft]

I don't think so
It's a little sore but I think the healing mostly fixed it

[cosplayed_out]

Good.

[...]

I'm sorry.

[warpweft]

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand]

[left on read.]

[Sorry, Tsumugi.]

[messianic]

Nessa-san, would it be okay if I came by to give you a present?

[warpweft]

Oh.

Um.

For the game?

Okay.

[messianic]

Well... for the game, I suppose, but mostly because I want to give you a Christmas present, since we have the option to now.

Should I just come by the dorms?

[warpweft]

Oh.

[doki]

Well, uh. Yeah. The dorm would be fine.

[messianic]

Great. I'll be there soon. (＾＾)ｂ OK!

[ to the dorms!! He'll be knocking soon enough, a purple package under his arm. ]

[warpweft]

[The door opens after a bit. Nessa is walking gingerly - she's gotten a heal from Akira by this point, so she's looking a bit better, but she's still hurting from her run-in with her shadow.]

H...hi, Minato.

Uh. Merry Christmas, I guess? I don't know if it's actually anywhere near Christmas, though...

[messianic]

Time is pretty weird here, right? But even if it isn't really Christmas, it's still nice to get to celebrate with everyone.

[ he pauses, tilting his head with some concern. ]

... Is everything okay?

[warpweft]

I...I'm fine. [She nods.]

I'm just a little hurt and exhausted. Akira already healed me and everything, so you don't have to worry.

[messianic]

... If you say so...

[ he's frowning a little, though. ]

Should we go in and sit down?

[warpweft]

Yeah. Let's sit down.

[She's favoring her left leg while she walks over to a couch, trying to not put much weight on it. Whether Minato notices or not, she's feeling self-conscious enough about it to say something by the time she sits down.]

I-it's not like I'm trying to cover up what happened or anything! When all of those skeletons showed up, I...got into a fight with myself.

But. She's gone! And, like I said, Akira healed me, so. There's. Nothing to worry about, anymore. It's all already done.

[messianic]

... Okay. If you say so, I'll believe you.

[ he dips his head in acknowledgement, and then sits next to her. ]

I'm glad that you made it through okay.

[warpweft]

Y...yeah, me too.

[For a certain definition of okay.]

Um. I'm sorry I don't have a gift for you. I haven't done a ton of tasks yet. I've kinda just. Taken a nap.

[messianic]

[ he shakes his head immediately at that, handing the package over. ]

Oh, don't worry about that. I'm just happy to get the chance to give you something, and honestly? The fact that you're resting after a tough time is enough of a gift for me.

[ and inside...! Is a pack of glow in the dark stars! ]

/2

[warpweft]

Well, just give me a bit! I have all the energy I need now, I'll get you something in return soon enough. I need to make sure Echidna does well in this game too --

[warpweft]

[She opens it.]

[And she blinks a couple times and suddenly goes quiet. She just kinda stares at the inside of the box.]

[messianic]

[ ... ?

Oh... oh no. ]

Um... Nessa-san...? Is everything okay?

[warpweft]

Oh. Uh.

[She reaches her hand into the box and takes the package of stars out. She opens it and takes a couple of the green-ish little plastic stars out.]

I just wasn't expecting...

[She cleared her throat.]

I just saw them and. Remembered that I used to have these. In my room.
