--sort of like a folding iPhone or something... Oh, it's recording.

[Promptly, the feed spins around, shifting its focus from its owner's feet to his face. The young man on the screen sizes up the device for a moment, then clears his throat.]

Hey.

[After a beat, once more, he clears his throat. He's more of a listener than a talker, really.]

My name is Souji Seta. It's nice to meet you all. [A bow.] To the Initiative, while I admit this is all a lot for me to take in, and I would've liked a little more say in the matter, I can at least appreciate what you're trying to do under the circumstances. Hopefully I won't let you down. If anyone else needs help with anything, I'll be happy to do what I can.

...While I'm at it, if there's anyone from Inaba watching this, contact me as soon as you can. I just want to go over a few things before I settle in.

Just takin' it all in stride, huh? That works.

Minato Arisato. A pleasure.

[goldentouch]

A year ago, this would've seemed a lot stranger.

Likewise, Arisato-san.

[foolish_seal]

Yeah, I could say the same for me.

[Hard to tell which is weirder: Sudden Onset Time Travel or Giant Tower of Shadows.]

[goldentouch]

[World Inside the TV, I'd say.]

Must've been pretty crazy.

[Epic level conversation skills, these two.]

[foolish_seal]

I'll say.

[Clearly this is the pinnacle of all dialogue.]

[goldentouch]

[So few words, yet they convey so much.]

Respect, man.

[Because if it's anything like his year, dude deserves props.]

[foolish_seal]

You too, dude.

[> You have created the Brotagonist Social Link.]

[goldentouch]

That a Gekkoukan uniform?

[Casual observation. He's just now noticing, actually.]

[foolish_seal]

Hm? Yeah, it is. You recognize it?

[He'd wear something else, but these were the clothes he came in, so he's kinda short on other outfits.]

[goldentouch]

Yeah, we took our class trip there this past year.

[He can relate. His luggage is still on the train.]

[foolish_seal]

...Why would you take a class trip to another high school?

[goldentouch]

Apparently some learning exchange thing. Honestly, I forget what they called it exactly, I was distracted checking out your student council president.

[foolish_seal]

Learning exchange? That's... kinda lame, really. Unless you got a lecture from Mr. Edogawa. Then it's actually interesting.

["interesting" being subjective, of course.]

What was the girl's name? The visit couldn't have been my year, else I'd have heard about it.

[goldentouch]

It's what our school can afford, I figure. Although I think that was the guy's name... and the lecture was weirdly relevant, in retrospect.

I want to say it was Fushimi, but this was half a year ago, so I'm not a hundred percent sure.

[foolish_seal]

Yeah, he's good at that. I think he knows way more than he lets on.

...Fushimi? You mean Chihiro? She was just a freshman and the treasurer when I was there. Good to see her doing well.

[goldentouch]

She seemed like it, yeah. Nice girl.

I must not have missed you by a whole lot, though. If you knew her, you must've graduated in the last couple years.

[foolish_seal]

Sort of, yeah. I was about to enter senior year when I got taken.

[Nevermind the fact that he kinda died.]

[goldentouch]

Ah, I see. I'll try not to spoil anything, then.

[He is going to feel so bad when he finds out.]

[foolish_seal]

[There's finally a slight falter in him. Nothing big, but it's noticeable.]

..Don't need to worry about that.

[goldentouch]

[...He feels so bad once he figures it out.]

...Apologies.

[foolish_seal]

Don't worry about it.

[He doesn't feel bad about his death, but death is always a sensitive topic.]
