[imaginex]

I'm glad that you're fine but what exactly is going on?

[Sakura is not usually demanding but today?

She's being demanding.]

[spirithacker]

[Nnnnn he's not going to like this conversation.]

So I got this text about getting to help out...

[imaginex]

[SURPRISE, neither of them are]

... Helping out who, what, and where?

this thread should've been 2/4 I'm bad at dates

[spirithacker]

Somebody with Retrospec, not sure, and the beach.

hahah I GOTCHA

[imaginex]

[........]

Who is with you right now, Shinji-kun?

[spirithacker]

There's maybe a couple dozen people? I've met two of them before.

[And it's not like he's close to those two...]

[imaginex]

And their names?

[spirithacker]

Theo Leonhardt and Makoto Yuuki.

[Whether she knows them or not, he doesn't think she's going to be very happy about him running off.]

[imaginex]

[Wonderful. She doesn't know either of these goddamn--

NNNNNN breathe, Sakura, deep breaths]

Did you leave with either of them? Or just leave after you got the text?

[Without telling your parents and only texting your cousins]

[spirithacker]

Just left. I don't know them that well either...

[That doesn't make things sound any better, and he knows it. He's glad she can't see him cringe.]

...I really wanted to help.

[imaginex]

[But you're eight, Shinji, you're an eight-year-old child who left his home, this should not be on your shoulders--

She bites her lip on the words, trying again to calm herself.]

Well. I can't blame you for wanting to help.

[Yes she can. She just won't because you're still young.]

I'm assuming even if I were to try, I couldn't catch up with you, so... how long will you be gone?

[spirithacker]

[Shinji's hesitation says enough: he doesn't know how long. He hardly knows anything except that everything is going to pieces and it's affecting him as much as it's affecting anyone else.

That dome covered the whole city, after all. You don't get a pass because you're a kid.]

...I promise I'll come home soon. Don't worry about me.

[imaginex]

[In this case? No, Sakura would argue he absolutely does get a pass.]

I'm going to be worried no matter what.

[It's a gentle punishment, but one regardless. She's not angry, Shinji... just disappointed.]

... But I'll do what I can about your parents, okay?

[spirithacker]

[It's a punishment he knows he deserves.]

O-okay. You better take care too. ...Love you.

[There's a stone in his pocket that makes him think of his family every time he touches it, but really, the only difference is that he's willing to say that out loud.]

[imaginex]

[her voice softens upon hearing that.]

Love you too.

Please check in with me once a while.

[She'll... leave it at that, for now.]

[spirithacker]

I will, I promise. Talk to you later.

[Things will be fine and Sakura definitely won't freak out at his group or anything.]
