[about an hour after A Certain Event, someone's getting a distressing text message]

Mako-chan! Come to the cabin ASAP (ლ `Д ́)ლ this is a matter of LIFE AND DEATH

[highspeedo]

Well, then he moved onto thinking he was dead...

[breachedwhale]

D-Dead? How long did that last?

[highspeedo]

I think he gets it now. Sort of. You know how he is.

[breachedwhale]

True... So, what happened beyond that?

[highspeedo]

All of a sudden—

[stops]

[breachedwhale]

Hm..?

[highspeedo]

[a brief glimpse into NAGISA INNER MIND THEATER: that one time. that other time. that other other time. that other other other time. and this one, that one, THAT TIME THEY WERE NAKED, and—]

HE WAS HITTING ON ME THE WHOLE TIME!?

[breachedwhale]

[ WELL... ]

Wh-What happened, Nagisa?

[ you guys have always been close, but he can't read minds unless it's Haru's ]

[highspeedo]

[shaking Makoto by the shoulders]

Ma-ko-channn! This is bad!

[breachedwhale]

[ lets him shake him, but puts a hand on Nagisa's shoulder in return ]

I don't know how to help without knowing more...

[highspeedo]

Rei-chan is definitely, definitely freaking out right now! He might be living in the forest as a hermit!

[breachedwhale]

About what? What exactly happened?

[ please tell me exactly what, Nagisa ]

[highspeedo]

Ah! What if that was his first kiss!?

[breachedwhale]

[ o h ]

Was Rei the one that initiated it?

[highspeedo]

[resumes shaking]

He surprised me! He really surprised me!

[breachedwhale]

Nagisa, calm down... How did it make you feel?

[highspeedo]

I told you, it happened all of a sudden, and then he ran off!

[breachedwhale]

I know, Nagisa. But what do you feel about it?

[highspeedo]

[settles down a little, sitting back]

You mean about Rei-chan?

[breachedwhale]

About being kissed and about it being Rei.

[highspeedo]

[just blinks]

[breachedwhale]

[ wait for an answer on that... ]

[highspeedo]

That's not the problem...!

[breachedwhale]

You don't have to answer me. You just need to know that answer for yourself. For when you see Rei next.

[highspeedo]

[blinks again, like he's not following]
