Ninety-Seventh Explosion

[god_is_a_dude]

[Action]

[In the likely empty (what with having no manager left to it) Seventh Heaven on this fine day is a boy that many people know and have many varied opinions of. He seems to be in tip-top shape, no injuries or anything, right? His face is distant, however. He looks around the place and then down at the book on the table. He opens it

[A blonde man will appear sometime a little ways outside the window, looking at Haruki with a neutral expression.]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...Oh why is there some guy looking at me- let's turn this into a glare]

[yumemi_kakyo]

[Doesn't react to that, instead writing something in his journal before holding it up so Haruki can read. Since yelling through a window is unbecoming after all.]

Was it worth it?

[god_is_a_dude]

[...Who the fuck is this guy. Screw this guy he's not going to look at him anymore. Instead he's going to look off to the left, ignoring this guy's existence. He didn't even get a good look at him, but honestly]

[Usagi steps into Seventh Heaven, probably to grab more delicious food, and approaches the counter. She leans over it and rings the bell, but when no one comes, she huffs and turns around. To the bakery it is.

Except she spots Haruki. All thoughts of food are gone, and she smiles widely; she's glad to see you, Chief.]

1/3

[god_is_a_dude]

[...Usagi. Haruki spots her before she spots him, but he makes no movement to try to make himself known to her. In fact, he's not sure what to feel right now. He settles for something of a detached stare bordering on a glare. Should be be relieved or sad or angry? He doesn't know. He doesn't know at all.]

[god_is_a_dude]

[But then he takes note of her grinning at him. He blinks once before relaxing his expression just a bit]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...and then he waves lightly at her]

[pinkribbons]

[Yuzu has arrived looking for food. Even with the advent of microwaves making it much easier for her to prepare things, she much preferred getting real stuff cooked for her. Unfortunately, all she stumbles across is her loser brigade chief.]

There you are.

[god_is_a_dude]

[Who's the loser here, loser-girl? He looks up at her though and-]

Yo.

[pinkribbons]

Where have you been?

[she knows, but she can still be mad about it.]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...Where indeed? He looks off oddly at the ceiling before sighing]

...Doesn't matter. How long's it been?

[count_gardios]

[Guy's just passing on his way to Good Spirits when he sees a familiar figure through the window, at just a glance.

He doubles back and immediately wrenches open the door.]

Haruki-!

[god_is_a_dude]

[...-What is this reaction?!]

[god_is_a_dude]

[But then when he sees Guy he finds himself reacting too in spite of himself. He blinks and then smiles quite unbidden, finding himself oddly relieved at the guy's presence here]

Hoy.

[count_gardios]

Geez, you had me worried! [Guy approaches his table and turns a chair to have a seat.] Are you all right?

[book_of_chaos]

[Leon's toting a bag of groceries on his way to the item store and back to the house. Now that it's just him and Rena, he's trying to be more helpful by doing some chores and such.

Of course, along the way, he has to pass the Seventh Heaven, and he stops when he sees something in the window. He has to do a double-take, since the strange "experiment" going on lately has him seeing and hearing things. His parents. Claude's voice. Claude's mom's voice. Precis.

But Haruki...?]

[god_is_a_dude]

[Haruki by now has made himself a bowl of ramen, but there in the window... Leon? ...Heh. Leon. Leon is here.

He doesn't do much beyond wave at the guy, probably trying to not even make eye contact]

1/2

[book_of_chaos]

[He's ... waving.

He's. Waving.

It'll take a moment for this to completely compute.]

2/3 okay I lied again

[book_of_chaos]

[He stands out there with an annoyed expression for a few seconds, then walks over to the door and enters the restaurant.]
