[he really should've caught up with Yoshi last night, after hearing Medic's report on the bones and washing the ink and glitter from his hair. but by the time that last thing had been done, it was late. and while Akira is a night person through and through, the events of the past two days have left him wiped. and he isn't against crashing early when necessary]
[. . . and then Monday rolls around, and the morning is a whirlwind, for lack of a better word. new memories, new announcements, new rules about a game in which Akira had absolutely no interest in participating. and amidst it all, after helping his new pal with. . . uh. bleeding eyes, he remembers he never followed up the night before]
[and that is how Akira winds up knocking on Yoshi's room door, sometime around lunchtime after all of the excitement of the morning has passed. 'sup, friend. are you home]
[He is greeted by a drowsy kid once again! Does he ever get enough sleep? Maybe if he didn't stay up all night playing games and also, you know, end up with bleeding eyes and so on.
It's fine. In fact, it's so very fine, Akira is greeted with a sleepy yet still cheerful:]
[At some point while Akira's in his room, he will suddenly get a text.]
n̲̘̩̭̪͔̞f͎̪̩̮͖á̙d̘̮s̶̳̫̤͕̺l̙̘͈̹̰̳
[It's followed by similar ones, one after another, with increasing speed until there's a thud of something relatively small falling on the side of his bed.]
[There's a moment of silence before texts resume.]
be careful
[And then, shortly after:]
be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful be careful
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SAY AND I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO KILL YOU AND SET OFF THE BOMB AND THEN YOU'D BOTH DIE AND THE BARGHEST WOULD TAKE SOMEONE ELSE

"I tried to stop her but I couldn't do anything again"
And, on several other sticky notes stuck around that first one:
"I'm sorry" ]
no subject
[. . .]
It's okay.
It's my fault she volunteered.
cw: suicidal ideation
Scribbling away, and:
"She didn't think she deserved to live"
"Someone like me who thinks that way too... can't really convince others to live, you know?"
"The tablet chat doesn't work anymore. I don't see any staff. Not even the chef."
"This is probably goodbye."
"Sorry..." ]
