[21][written/action]

[first of all, there are several inconsequential doodles. This should be concerning because Nephry just doesn't doodle. Next there are several sentences that are so well crossed out they are unreadable. An ink spot where the pen rested too long on the page. A few more doodles.]

I...think I should go for a walk. I will take my journal with me just in case, however.

[and for those out and about, Nephry can be found standing on the bridge between houses 32 and 33 and Community Housing 5. It is quite the long walk, and it will continue in a short while if she's not interrupted. She will answer written or voiced messages too, of course. ...The doodling is kind of a giveaway that something is wrong here]

Friends, yes.

I hope you get back to them soon.

[...He's just silent, folding his hands over the railing beside her and looking out over the river.]

Is homesickness all that's bothering you?

...No. But everything else is much more complicated.

How so?

It's something I can't quite manage to explain. ...All of my childhood friends are here. I suppose a longing for simpler days is affecting me.

[he nods.] Everything changes, but sometimes it's hard not to want to go back.

[oh you have no idea. And even though she's sorted herself out mentally now, her hands are still shaking]

Bad times change too, Nephry-san. It'll get better.

I just don't see how any kind of progress can be made in this place.

[...so do you sometimes think she channels Mitsuru?]

[Yes, she does.]

Why not?

This entire village is at a point from which it cannot move forward. Even when we think something new has been discovered, the barrier and the Malnosso still exist and have ultimate control.

You'd give up?

...I wouldn't want to.

Then don't.

[she doesn't sigh or tell him why it seems like there's no other choice. Minato is the sort of person to come up with more choices no matter what the argument is. And she just doesn't feel like arguing right now. ...Really she should go to bed]

[He looks over at her, as though waiting for her to decide what to do next.]

[if you leave it up to her she will stand on this bridge thinking for another hour]

It's getting late, Nephry-san.

Hm? ...Oh, I suppose it is.

[glances down the path that leads allll the way back to house 1]

I can walk you home.

[being walked home by a teenager seems...]

There's no need for you to go out of your way unnecessarily.

I don't mind.

Very well then.

[And he moves away from the railing, putting his hands back in his pockets.]
