"They're just... Lost? To the void or the random dimensions or whatever?" Ritsu realized he sounded worried but also exhilarated at the same time. Was that the proper response? He had no idea. But it did sound fascinating. And ominous. "Okay, got it. I'll stay close."
To make small talk, he continued to talk a little about himself, unprompted. "So I go to this private boarding school. Boys' school. Rei's there too. Anyway, my best friend Mao..." Were they friends? More? Ritsu wasn't good at putting names on his own emotions, so for now, friends it was. "He's usually the one waking me up in the morning. He makes sure I brush my teeth and get dressed and out of bed and all that... He's really reliable."
"We have different song groups among the students. Lesse... We're five guys in my group. Officially anyway. Our leader only shows up when he feels like it though, and that's not often..." He trailed off, staring up at the building. Was it too much to hope that one of the doors there would bring him home? ...Probably.
