[It was over.]

[After so many years of fighting, it was finally over. He'd said his painful goodbyes, managed not to cry, closed his eyes and...]

[...woke up on the sidewalk.]

[The campus was buzzing with activity, the students recently liberated from classes for lunch. The NPCs carefully walked around him as he lay on the ground, staring vacantly at the sky as he came to his senses. The fog over his mind cleared gradually, becoming aware of an unshakable sense of déjà vu descending upon him. The dark color of his jacket caught his peripheral vision, slowly sitting up in order to look down at himself. This uniform... he wasn't wearing this one a moment ago. In fact, he hadn't worn this particular uniform since...]

[Is this..?]

[He sat up sharply, as if jolted out of a deep sleep, scrutinizing the details of the uniform jacket he wore. It was the same one. There was no question.]

[...No way. That means..!?]

THE GAME RESETS!?

[His theatrical screaming could likely be heard from a great many places across the campus, drawing as much attention to himself as could be expected.]

[Otonashi is sure to keep an eye on Hinata's reaction, especially as he begins to go pale. Please don't pass out on him...

And of course, he's not happy with the amnesia. He is glad to hear that the graduation ceremony went well, though. Hinata even got to wear a ridiculous outfit, wow... He hopes he'll get to see those pictures sometime, if they're even around. Despite the circumstances, he manages to smile, just a bit.]

Well, that's good at least. I'm sure it was hilarious, ahah... I'm glad it went well though.

[...Aaaand then that smile fades at the mention of Kanade. He shakes his head.]

As far as I'm aware, no. It's just you, me, Yuri, and Naoi. Yui and TK came back before too but they disappeared again.

Yeah, it was... nice. [Emotional, but nice. He was able to keep his promise up until then, and it cheered him up to know that he'd played a small pert in helping his closest friends (and Naoi) find peace.]

[A melancholy settled over them as they talked about the battlefront. They'd lost so many members... would it even feel the same now? He wasn't sure. What he was sure of, was that his friend was wearing a somber expression and that was completely unacceptable. He reached over, clamping a hand down on the redhead's shoulder.]

Some of us came back, right? I'm sure others will turn up! [It was a selfish desire, wanting people to come back here, but a comforting one. No one would choose to be alone here...] Do you... want to go play catch later? [Because obviously baseball is the best medicine.]

[He almost wishes he remembered it, since what they had in mind really was nice. But at the same time, he's a little afraid to learn how things went down with Kanade...]

Yeah, maybe. I'm not sure how great it would be for them, but... it would be nice to be able to see everyone again.

[He smiles again, albeit probably a bit solemnly. He really does miss everyone. Hinata's suggestion does sound good right about now though, so...]

But sure. How about around sundown? That way you have time to take a look around and meet the new people here.

[As somber as the conversation was, he seemed to perk up a little as his invitation was accepted.]

Sure! I'll meet you at the diamond. [But for now, he had some strangers to invade the personal space of, waving farewell to Otonashi before running off.] See you then..!

[[OOC: Sorry about the delay!! Here you go!]]
