[ He's uncertain, but curious, and that's what wins out, Ryoji opening up the dial pad to stand at the ready. ]

Yeah. Go ahead!

[ —"but"? That makes it sound as if Yukine's idea and staying with Ryoji are incompatible, and there's an immediate sinking feeling in the pit of Ryoji's stomach as he starts to guess at what the plan is.

But. Some of the most important people in his life, he'd only been able to connect through hearing their voice or reading their words, and he had been okay. It'll be okay. ]


...Okay. [ he repeats, a whisper into his phone, settling back into the darkness with his head up at the sky. ] I trust you.

[ It's easiest to trust strangers; Ryoji extends the same amount of faith to every person that meets, adjusting it accordingly only after. The fact that Yukine is still speaking to him means his faith has gone up. ]

Ryoji. [ A short answer, distracted as he paces the darkness. ] You? Tell me about yourself?

[ High school meant he was probably younger than Ryoji... He wants to ask what grade, but frowns at interjection— what's thick?? what is that sawing sound?— that he almost misses the question posed to him, his turn to talk, and he has to recollect his thoughts again. ]

I'm not in school right now, but I'll be starting college this fall. I actually moved back here at the start of the year too, after being away for several years.

[ Back in December. He'd just come back, and all these strange things started happening in this city he so loved, and there's an unsettling feeling about that he can't shake off. But- a question. He searches for one to return and fill the silence. ]

How do you like Recollé so far?

Hm... I can't claim to know exactly what you mean, but I know loneliness.

[ He feels it, profoundly. Sitting here alone in the middle of the earth, sleeping in airports more often than hotel rooms at one point in his life, sometimes even while surrounded by people with wide smiles and bright laughter and still feeling it. ]

But not now, with a voice in my hands, speaking just for me. [ There's cheer in his voice, a smile on his face Yukine can't see. ] I'm going in undeclared- I want to try everything, and maybe never leave so long as I can afford it.

There's no reason to hold back words, if you have something you want to say, so...

[ He shrugs in the silence and darkness, squinting up again at the entrance for whatever it is that he's supposed to keep an eye out for— pitch black, when the dandelion head blocks out the sun and his heart stops in his throat, but then it starts falling and Ryoji has to will his feet to move and get himself out of the way before he's crushed by the flower. ]

Yukine!! You're brilliant! Thank you!

[ and he hangs up to make the ascent. ]
