Main Room (Aichi) and (Misaki)
-That 'platonically' comment hurt.-
-...It's true then, just as he feared.-
-He never had a chance. At all.-
-He had at least wanted the chance to properly tell her his feelings.-
-He had actually been trying to work up the nerve to confess to her since he got back. Even if she knew, he wanted to properly confess.-
-There was a small piece of him that sort of clung to the hope that she'd return his affections somehow, no matter how unlikely.-
-...But mainly... he wanted to hear from that 'no' from her, himself. He wanted to lay his heart out for her, and finally be able to let go.-
-But now... What's the point? His feelings don't mean anything.-
-In the end it doesn't matter at all, and it hurts.-
-Misaki, meanwhile, notices the cue for a fist bump and does oblige (although it was sort of reluctant. She's not really prone to doing stuff like that).-
-But then she looks at Aichi, and she can tell that Sthesia's comment hit him hard.-
-...-
-Both of them go silent, and it's clear that things are more uncomfortable for the two.-
Lake
-A young lady in overalls runs out from the woods with a laugh, slowing to a stop right at the lake's edge-
Whoa, whoa~! Haha! This new path's really surprising, huh?
-she is talking to no one-
-She pops a squat in front of the water, looking down at her reflection-
I wonder how deep this goes...?
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanLake (Survivor Aichi)
-Aichi is, once again, doing his daily patrol.-
-...? A girl looking into the water...?-
"Excuse me..."
-If she were to turn around, she could see the roughed-up young man with his crowbar out. It's not in a threatening position or anything, but it's still a crowbar.-
"Is everything OK?"
-He's speaking seriously. What's she doing out here?-
-Survivor Aichi is still a decent distance behind the girl, so he hasn't seen the face in the water.-

Lake (Survivor Aichi)
-He jolts, rushing towards her, and readies the crowbar into a fighting position as quickly as he can upon hearing her yell.-
-He did it before he even registered what she said. The screams made him more on edge (When he is always on edge during his patrols [When isn't he on edge though?]), and instinct kicked in.-
-...Wait, what was that? A face?-
-And then the girl with the trident starts walking out of the water.-
"...? Who are you?"
-He's still holding that crowbar in that position, and sounds very serious.-

Lake (Survivor Aichi)
-Honestly, the girl coming out of the water didn't weird him out in the slightest. He has seen all sorts of stuff on Cray.-
-Not to mention that this place has some really weird stuff anyway...-
-...-
-...Ohhhhhhhhh... This girl might be new here...-
"Ah... Yeah, she did..."
-He said that pretty awkwardly. He's not really sure how to go about explaining this place...-
-But this isn't the time for it anyway. Aichi's still in high gear, sadly.-
-And then the girl with the trident talks about him being a 'diver'. Aichi then proceeds to get a confused expression.-
"...'D-Diver'...?"
-And then the girl just goes back in...-
-...-
-...Blink, blink.-
-Annnnnd then he looks up.-
-OK, that is jarring to him.-
"...W-What...?!"
-OK, so much is going on during this patrol why is it all happening at once Aichi is too high strung for this-

...No clue. I don't... know much about video games... But there's a lot.
