[ Rean had seen the way Pizza had acted after the reveal, so he had been on his way to look out for the other, even going as far as to come after him as the blond headed back to his room.
He probably was a little late in catching the other before he entered and closed the door, but at least seeing it afforded Rean to know which room he had.
So he knocked on the door once he reached Pizza's. ]
[ Oh no...well, hopefully he could spend some time with him, even knowing the other was probably not okay (which was the point of checking in on him in the first place.) ]
I don't mind, come on in. [ Welcome to his humble abode which is... pretty messy. His sheets are balled up on the bed and there's some cans piled up on his desk. He'll opt to plop down onto the mattress, looking at Rean with bright green eyes. ]
Yeah...he definitely had a lot of people relying on him.
[ Hyobu never said how many but he could tell from the way he spoke that it was no small number. ]
Pizza, let's continue to do our best together, alright? It'll be hard and I'm not sure what exactly will happen, but we need to keep moving forward, in our own way.
So that Kyousuke and Elliot's lost lives haven't been taken in vain.
And if you ever feel it's too much, I promise I'll do what I can to support you.
He was one to me too. I'm not sure if I can trust you yet, but...
I'd like to get to know you better, Rean. [ The look in his eyes is determined. Hyoubu's last words to him were to not trust anyone here, but at least with Rean this seemed to be different. ]
Rean was distraught himself by the end of the trial. Like other people were.
It really wasn't fair, but now he turned himself to other matters. It'd be a good distraction to check up on people. And also, he still had to make something for a certain someone!!
Oh...well if you find some, let me know! [ This mod says no balloons yet. ]
It's okay. Everything is okay now, I think. I didn't want to share my power because I don't want to forget what Kyousuke told me, but I think I had to. And I only showed you how it worked, which is better than showing everyone.
[ For the record, the empty cans are still on his desk! They're important to him even if he seems to have mostly recovered. With a flop he sprawls out on his bed. ]
Yeah, me too. [ A beat. ] But as for what I want you to cook for me, that's easy. Spaghetti!

Hello?
no subject
Hello. [ There's a smile on his face like there usually is, but it's thin and small. ]
no subject
Do you mind if we spoke for a little bit?
no subject
I don't mind, come on in. [ Welcome to his humble abode which is... pretty messy. His sheets are balled up on the bed and there's some cans piled up on his desk. He'll opt to plop down onto the mattress, looking at Rean with bright green eyes. ]
But why did you want to talk to me?
no subject
...Because I didn't want you to be alone. I'm sorry if it was rude, but I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with Kyousuke.
You...really cared about him, didn't you?
no subject
Don't touch those! [ Pizza was yelling at trial, but this kind of yell was completely different. Serious and not at all like his usual tone. ]
Sorry just, don't touch them okay? But yeah, I did.
no subject
...Sorry. I didn't know how important they were to you.
[ ... ]
Then, it seems like we both have something in common. I mean, I'd been speaking to Kyousuke before all of that happened.
no subject
You did? About what?
no subject
[ Then they're something that created a precious 'memory'. ]
Well sometimes just normal, inconsequential things. But the last thing we spoke about was the motive and our friends back home.
no subject
His friends back home... [ Ah, Pizza hadn't noticed how upset Hyoubu was because he was pretty upset himself. ]
He must have had a lot because he was pretty old. At least for a human.
no subject
[ Hyobu never said how many but he could tell from the way he spoke that it was no small number. ]

no subject
You two were friends then, right?
no subject
[ Rean laid a hand on his chest, a small, sad smile on his lips, but one nonetheless. ]
no subject
I'd like to get to know you better, Rean. [ The look in his eyes is determined. Hyoubu's last words to him were to not trust anyone here, but at least with Rean this seemed to be different. ]
no subject
[ Rean offered the other a smile still, meant to be reassuring if anything. ]
I'd like to get to know you better as well, Pizza. As a friend, even if we'd just gotten the chance to barely know one another.
no subject
Okay, then let's hang out some time soon. [ He smiles sheepishly. ] Outside of the kitchen, though.

week 2 post trial
Rean was distraught himself by the end of the trial. Like other people were.
It really wasn't fair, but now he turned himself to other matters. It'd be a good distraction to check up on people. And also, he still had to make something for a certain someone!!
So he's going to knock on Pizza's door gently. ]
Pizza, are you in there?
no subject
Rean! I'm not up to any pranks yet, don't worry. [ Someone's as bubbly as ever, forced or otherwise. ]
no subject
[ A little tease, but he'll smile a little. ]
...By the way, I was thinking of cooking up something for you. Think of it as a special request. What would you like?
no subject
Huh, really? Why?
no subject
[ Not a mistake because he hasn't found any balloons yet!! As far as this rper knows, anyway. ]
Well...I felt like you deserved it, after everything that had happened.
no subject
It's okay. Everything is okay now, I think. I didn't want to share my power because I don't want to forget what Kyousuke told me, but I think I had to. And I only showed you how it worked, which is better than showing everyone.
no subject
[ Rean's new strategy was avoiding anything that may look like a balloon—okay no. ]
That's fair. In retrospect, I'm glad that it worked out, really.
[ Part of him was kind of not very happy about revealing his, surprisingly enough, but it's not like the captors didn't know, so. ]
no subject
Yeah, me too. [ A beat. ] But as for what I want you to cook for me, that's easy. Spaghetti!
no subject
Kyousuke made his mark, that's for sure. ]
Spaghetti it'll be, then. I can go ahead and make it now if you want?
no subject
no subject
[ He'll make a gesture that means 'follow him' as he walked out of the room. ]
Maybe I can show you some pointers while I'm at it.
no subject
For cooking? I can make a sandwich!
