week 4, friday

[digestif]

[ although they might have been elsewhere yesterday, Mizuki, predictably, returns to their usual haunt the next day. It's well before noon when they return. Considering the events of the past night, one might think they'd be going to the courtyard to investigate; however, they pass it by entirely for the time being. Once they've shut the door behind them, they make a beeline for the piano - at least until they suddenly notice the sorry-looking blanket burrito in one of the booths. ]

I -- Ishi-san?!

[ stopping in their tracks - they sound very surprised to see him there. ]

... Are you alive?

[ ... and looking so inelegant, too. ]

[ritualization]

[he blinks a little more awake, there, still somewhat bleary eyed... and clearly pale, with dark circles under his eyes.]

... Mizuki-san. I am sorry I am not in more presentable shape, but- I am glad you're here. Are you all right?
