[Week 0, Monday: Undine]

[sure, Akira is well aware that he's super green around the edges. that the only actual Game he has under his belt is the one in which he was a Player. but even so? something about this setup feels. . . off. from the fact that he and his fellow Reapers are on "loan" in the first place, to the fact that he's being asked to Erase Players instead of help them. and sure, that Max kid said a Reaper's gig wasn't usually a pretty one (and that he, a participant in a game with puzzles and dungeons and fighting Noise rather than direct Erasure or murder, had just been lucky enough to land himself a non-violent Composer), but still. . .]

[. . .]

[it's Undine he seeks out first, out of all of his Reaper comrades. he doesn't know why; maybe it's just her softer, kinder personality]

Wells-san?

[Week 0, Monday: Ichigo]

[welp. those profiles sure are a thing. Ichigo had been swamped enough with others approaching him upon their revelation, so. . . Akira waits until things have calmed down, until he can invite Ichigo to the McDonalds and grab an empty, quiet booth where no one will overhear them. he even has fries!! hooray!!]

[he doesn't waste any time in speaking once they sit down, too. and he gets straight to the point]

. . . are you all right?

[that point. not the other points. those come second. Ichigo's well-being? that's first]
