Lake (Like the Narrator Should Have Switched to at the Proper Time to Begin With) (Survivor Aichi)
-Blink, blink.-
-She's... not mad at him...?-
-...-
-...Or is she just really good at hiding it? Girls are supposed to be good at that kind of thing, right?-
"A-All right..."
-He sits on the edge of the towel.-
-And then he looks towards Pan.-
"...Not really."
-Or at least not that the narrator remembers ATM.-
...son of a BASTARD! hhhh...
(Attempts to compose himself while riding on this poor, poor wolf, wheezing a bit.)
...I— I was abducted, plucked from the comfort of my own room by a group I am certain is affiliated with fascists and terrorists, and is not a group to taken lightly due to the wretched technological capabilities they've demonstrated... I—... I must have been sedated for some period of time, after— after their horrible, invasive probings and degrading remarks about my physical vessel... hhhh...
...But— but affiliated with this group, which I also suspect is tied with known fascist terrorist Lempi Korhonen due to its primarily female composition and embracement of similar-such torture and antihumanitarian tactics—... this group... has incorporated... into its ranks...
(LONG WHEEZE)
an abomination.

-...Yeah, he's a different one.-
"...Yeah."
-Laura, if you look closer his clothes are a ripped up, horrible mess with permanent and ominous stains and his hair is messy (even when wet it's clear that he still hasn't gotten quite in the habit of properly taking care of it again [Although it's better than when he first arrived]).-
"I've met two others... They were both very... familiar."
-Young Aichi and Amnesiac Aichi. His story mirrored theirs, at one point...-
-...Although he's further in the future than they are.-
Lake (Survivor Aichi)
-He doesn't want to tell the whole story. It always freaks him out... Makes him relive it...-
-So... he just says one word. One word that should hopefully get the point across.-
-A word that he has finally accepted as the reality, rather than the word he had been using:-
"...Zombies..."
-...He looks back up from the ground, at Laura.-
"...That's the story."
-...OK, yeah, you can tell just from that weary feeling in his voice upon even speaking of the idea, that he's had some experiences.-
-...-
-...There is an Aichi that has suffered through a zombie apocalypse.-
Outside (Survivor Aichi)
-WHOA!-
-Uh... he wasn't exactly expecting to be lifted by a giant! Or hugged!-
-He's a little frazzled, if only because he wasn't exactly in a great spot mentally when she decided to hug him (Though he's never really in a good spot mentally).-
-...But... at the same time...-
-...Aichi honestly does appreciate the gesture.-
-He really does need a hug. He got one from Sthesia before, around the time he first appeared, but it was only enough to let out some of the strain he had had over those three months.-
-So... he's finding himself almost wanting to cry again.-
-He's forcing himself not to. He's not supposed to cry. He already had that meltdown before.-
-He already cried into Sthesia's shoulder.-
-He has to stay strong. He has to stay strong. He has to stay strong.-
-...-
-...But it's... it's hard to...-
-Just the power of a hug at all, is overwhelming his attempts to remain stoic.-
"...I-I..."
...H-he appeared, initially, to be a man afflicted by albinism, a young man, I— I am unsure of his nationality, but he— he's— th-the human façade, precisely that! False! Underneath... a-a... ghoul... or... or some sort of especially twisted vampire... He's been feeding from my divine blood for months, keeping me captive, putting me in a horrid trance of ecstasy while doing so...! Hhhh... and now— and now he's taken my bones...
...P-pardon the vulgarity, but— fucking— my bones! Just took them—! He— he has some bizarre way with flesh, polymorphic, can also mold it with hands, and— and I felt his painful touch and now my arms and legs are useless...! Hhhh... What is a god without bones...?
(sad wheeze...)

-...-
-...Aichi can't speak for their lives. He can't say for certain whether or not they have had their miserable moments or not.-
-...All he knows is...-
"...I-I..."
-Oh crud, yep, he's starting to cry.-
"...I-I wouldn't wish it on them..."
-Having your entire life, your friends' lives, everyone's lives, yanked away bloodily. Having to resort to brutal violence for your own survival, seeing fellow survivors fight with each other over supplies, seeing so many dead people, so much blood, constantly running, fearing for your life, never feeling safe, always looking over your shoulder, having almost nothing to keep you grounded in a world gone mad...-
-All of it... he'd never wish it on anyone.-
"...o-or anyone else..."
-He hates himself for crying, but he just can't seem to fight it.-
-He just... he can't...-
-He always tries to bottle it in. He doesn't necessarily succeed, but he tries so hard to keep it all inside.-
-That pain, that sorrow, that misery...-
-He wants to keep it locked away. It's hard to function when you're crying...-
-...But... locking those feelings inside doesn't make them go away. They're still there, waiting for the moment they can leak out.-
-Aichi hears Pan, and manages to speak up.-
"...Yeah..."
-...He's... not doing too good right now, Pan.-

"Okay, I'm leaving that wolf to guard you. When I see this flesh guy, I'm gonna turn him inside-out. You have my word - princess's honor."
"Marcia, it was a guess. I don't actually know if you even do."
-Lies back down, still not letting the guy go (though he could easily get out of the hug if he tried at all)-
"Worked for Koata, here's hoping every cinnamon roll works the same way."

Outside (Survivor Aichi)
-...OK, yeah, people do swim at lakes...-
"R-Right..."
-He's just feeling extremely awkward now. He probably seriously offended Laura by getting flustered like that...-
