[ She's sore from past injuries and sore from the sympathetic sandbag resonance and sore from falling from a rising curtain onto Tsukasa and also cold. So she goes along with it, pausing only to get a wet towel backstage to help with the stickiness.

And then, clutching the peonies, she just sits and shivers in the booth while also politely scarfing down food. Amazing. ]

[aerodynamic]

[ mafuyu your stickiness... he's grabbing another plate of food to set in front of her before arranging themselves in the booth so she's a part of the cuddle pile he has going with tsukasa. ]

I can do another heal on you when we leave if that'll help. I know you guys are still recovering.

[depressured]

Does it also work on you?

[ As she slumps a little in relief. Body heat. Better. ]

[aerodynamic]

Mmhm. With that spell, if I do it once it works on all of us at the same time anyway, that's how it's always been. And since I haven't used it today I should be fine to.

[ after everyone eats and warms up, that is. he doesn't particularly feel like moving yet. ]

[depressured]

Then it's fine.

[ Yes. She'll relax a little now. ]

[aerodynamic]

[ cute... he leans against her a little further but also dumps a few more pieces of food from his plate onto hers. ]

Thanks for thinking of me. [ because that's what it boils down to. ]

[depressured]

You're thinking of me, too. But you don't need to give me any more food.

[ He's also hungry?? She has more than enough-- ]

[aerodynamic]

Well yeah, why wouldn't I? [ think of her, he means. also to be fair his own plate really is piled with so much food. ] And I know I don't, but if you're still hungry it's just easier to share.

[depressured]

I think once I make it through this, I'll be fine. I don't remember the last time I was this hungry.

[ It's kind of annoying. ]

[aerodynamic]

To be honest? I think this place has been messing with our appetite anyway which doesn't help. What did you guys even find?

[ they went backstage, it is debatable if he knows for certain they read a script and this is why. ]

[depressured]

There was a script about... very poorly-disguised versions of us who were trying to survive a blizzard. They didn't.

[ Whoops. ]

[aerodynamic]

[ a ]

That... explains that. Way to be creepy about it...

[ haunted-ass theater. ]

[depressured]

There are many superstitions about theaters attracting ghosts. I suppose I'm not surprised.

[ At all. ]

[aspirings]

[Cuddle pile of warmth! Yosuke is right to do this, they are now a pile of teens needing Warmth.

Tsukasa watches her politely scarf down food and then, even though he also feels starving, he just puts some of his food onto her plate.]

[depressured]

...

[ She looks down at this. And then reaches for the lil tea kettle to refill his mug. ]

You didn't have to give me yours. You're hungry too.

[aspirings]

I can order more. Your plate was nearly empty.

[A firm nod. He is reaching for the menu already, he's not about to starve himself, don't worry--]

[depressured]

[ Well.

... She picks up her fork again. There's something else she should say instead. ]

Thank you.

[aspirings]

Certainly! Thank you for joining me in putting on this performance!

[Aaahhhh, he's so happy to have gotten to act on stage again, despite Everything.]

[depressured]

Even though it didn't go the way you wanted?

[ Well. They got a duet in, at least. ]

[aspirings]

I've been in performances that didn't go the way I wanted before. I'm afraid it is simply a hazard of the job!

[So it's fine.]

Even so, the audience enjoyed it. True, we could not see the smiles on their faces, but I'm sure they left with them!

[depressured]

... They did seem to be enthusiastic.

[ Yes. ]

But I'm glad you got to do what you love.

[aspirings]

As am I!!

[Eagerly and enthusiastically!!

A pause for him to shove more food into his mouth, please hold.]

I truly wasn't expecting a theater to show up--I mean, after last week, I'd assumed that was all we'd see of such things.

[depressured]

I've seen more stages than I expected to be on.

[ Like. Ever.

Continue eating, sir. She's fine waiting for you to talk. ]

[aspirings]

[Yes, well. He's good at yapping, so yapping he will do.]

It is strange that this place seems obsessed with putting our pasts on display in that way.

That is also part of what was so satisfying with our performance, in my opinion.

[It wasn't about their pasts or anything. They were putting on a fictional story, as a show ought to be.]

[depressured]

Are you ashamed of your past, Tsukasa?

[ A very solemn question when she's neatly butchering a pancake. ]
