(...Oh. This isn't the Aichi that they know. Just for a minute they thought maybe...)
We do. Kind of. It's a long story.
Sorry. We thought you were a friend of ours, that's all.
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Main Room (Survivor Aichi)
-'This isn't his first appearance here'...?-
-And yeah, Aichi Sendou is definitely his name... People here know it and him apparently... He's not sure how though. It's beyond just knowing him through Vanguard.-
"...What do you mean?"
-Has... no one explained this place to him? Just what this place is?-
-He looks back over to Leos and Sthesia. Once again he's looking them over. They seem safe...-
-He can't help but feel really bad about the misunderstanding... Especially upon seeming so disappointed that he wasn't who they were looking for.-
"No, it's fine..."
-This other friend of theirs... Judging by their reaction to realizing that Aichi wasn't him... They seem upset.-
"...I'm sorry. You were hoping I was him, weren't you?"
-He's a very observant Aichi, evidently...-
(Kasai)
“Um...they’re for someone I’m looking for...”
-then again; maybe they’d help him find Yuu, so..-
“...Why the heck not.”
-He hands them a burger.-

-Alternate universes...-
"...Yeah. I guess you could say I do."
-He's still not exactly sure where Cray is, but he's been beginning to think it's beyond his dimension entirely. So... he's at least open to the idea.-
"Why?"
-Seeing Leos's disappointment makes him feel worse...-
-...He's not sure what happened, but it seems like something serious...-
-...Separated during a Youmu attack perhaps...?-
"...Stay strong."
-Not that he's correct on what happened to the Aichi they know, but he's still offering his support as best as he can.-
-He tries to give a comforting smile, but once again it's weary, weak, and hollow. It's that difficult for him to smile now...-
"You'll find him."
-And yeah... He has to stay strong too. His friends are still out there. They are. He refuses to believe otherwise.-
"I know you will."

Main Room (Survivor Aichi)
-The third? Geez...-
"...So there's more than one Aichi Sendou here... People from different universes end up here?"
-So... he was pulled out of his universe while he was running and ended up here...-
-...He wants to breathe easy after hearing that. He truly does. He wants to be able to relax and rest assured knowing that this place isn't back home.-
-...But he can't. Too much has happened. And who's to say that Youmu won't end up here at some point too? If beings from all sorts of different universes end up here... Anything could happen.-
-He almost feels the weird urge to ironically chuckle at Homura's comment of them being from 'more fortunate circumstances'.-
"Yeah, I hope they are... I wouldn't wish the Youmu on anyone..."
-...Wait... If he's here, then how does he get back home...?-
"...How do I get back? I need to find my friends!"
-...Oh, his clothes... He looks down at them as if only really acknowledging how filthy they are just now.-
-Yeah, they're a mess...-
-Changing clothes hasn't been a thought that has really occurred to him in a long while. Around the beginning of the whole incident he managed to stash some clothes and other supplies in his rucksack when he managed to get back to his house (Checking to see if his family was there), but his stuff was stolen later (Obviously the events have effected survivors in many different ways...).-
-He also ended up realizing that he couldn't afford to just change wherever he wants... If he changed in the wrong place he could be attacked. He was in Tokyo of all places for crying out loud. There are a lot of people in Tokyo and there's going to be a lot of Youmu running around by extension.-
"...I... haven't had the chance to in a long time."
-...Although if this place IS safe he might have the chance to...-
"...I don't have any other clothes on me though."
-Geez, what could he be going through that made it so he apparently hasn't been able to change clothes?!-

Homura: (nods) This is a pocket dimension that likes to draw people from different universes. Getting back...if you've found yourself here by chance, then your return trip is also subject to chance. There are ways of moving back and forth with intent, but the methods are as varied as the universes they connect.
..."Youmu"? (eyes narrow just slightly - another threat to this place?)
The damned queen and the relentless knight.Main Room (Survivor Aichi)
-Is she saying that he might not be getting back anytime soon?! What about his friends?!-
"I have to find my friends though... I can't leave them there! There has to be a way back there sooner!"
-He sounds desperate to get back and find them.-
-And then he sees her eyes narrow. She's probably wondering just what the story is about that.-
-He... struggled with explaining it all last night (It was the first time he had to...), but... he needs to make sure people understand the threat just in case it ends up here too...-
-He's not thinking of his own comfort. He's not. He wants people to be aware.-
-He doesn't care if he makes himself miserable talking about it. He needs to warn them.-
-He gulps.-
"...Youmu. They don't really have a name, so I decided to call them that."
-...He had to call them something after all...-
"They're... They're not human... They used to be, but..."
-...No, he doesn't want to see it or feel it again! He doesn't! Just focus on telling Homura, Leos, and Sthesia what it is!-
-Separate yourself from it! Come on! Just focus on breathing!-
"...T-They're not now... They... They kill people... and each other... e-eating away at..."
-Homura can probably tell he's seeing it all happen again as he's speaking about it. Simply by looking into his eyes.-
-Despite how hard he tries not to think about it it still is playing in his mind. Every single disgusting detail of the first time he encountered them.-
"...T-They're everywhere now... I-I've been running and fighting them..."
-Breathe. Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.-
"T-The crowbar... T-The crowbar's the only reason I'm alive... Found it at Card Capital..."
-He's still seeing it all again...-
-...And then he notices Ash come in and whips around quickly in a panic. He's been worked up. Between the flashbacks and suddenly hearing the door, he's struggling.-
-...N-No, she's not infected... S-She's not a Youmu... N-No one here is... J-Just calm down...-
-He hears Sthesia and looks at her, but he's not really in a place to focus on a response.-
"...M-Mall..."
-Focus on that instead. Focus on just getting new clothes. Focus on confusion of there apparently being a mall here you can go to...-
-Try to calm down...-
-Seems like he's struggling really badly...-
-...Every single one of you can tell that he's been deeply affected by everything that happened back home.-
-...Honestly, doesn't it sound a lot like he was sucked into a zombie apocalypse?-
Main Room
Homura: (watches silently for a while as Aichi digs deep to convey what seems to be about zombies) ...I see. With any luck, they won't even know you left, Sendou. Thank you...for telling us. No one here will threaten you like that.
(Glances over at the others as a silent plea for emotional help - seems she herself is a bit hesitant about offering a hug that he seems to need very badly)
The damned queen and the relentless knight.Main Room (Survivor Aichi)
-He hears Homura and looks over to her. Still too overwhelmed to provide a legitimate response, but he hears her.-
-He manages to nod a little.-
-He's grateful. He really is. He's just too overwhelmed to say it.-
-And then Sthesia seems to be approaching him...-
"..."
-He seems nervous about her approaching him, once again looking over every detail of what she's doing. He doesn't want to believe she's dangerous, but he's really overwhelmed and his desire to make sure every single thing around him isn't a threat takes precedence.-
-Thankfully it seems to sink in quickly enough that she's just trying to hug him. He's not really sure if he can handle a hug right now, but regardless he doesn't move. Seems like you're successfully able to hug him, Sthesia!-
-'No one's going to hurt him here'... He's... not sure if he can get the sinking feeling he's not to disappear, but hearing it...-
-...Hearing it actually kind of helps...-
-...-
-...Don't... cry...-
-...You'll break down if you start crying...-
-...You haven't cried in years... You're a responsible adult... Don't cry...-
-...-
-...Oh geez, he's crying... He's actually crying.-
-And then he hears Koata. He nearly freaks out again, but thanks to Sthesia's comforting hug he manages not to.-
-...-
-...That voice is...-
-He's not in a position to look, but... it sounds like Koata!-
Yay! I'm on a mishin right now! Exucite excite—
-suddenly his attention is drawn to the big aichi crying-
Big Aichi!
-he hops off the couch and goes to him! unaware of the worry he caused with his disappearance-
-homura, this koata, he's very small-
Big Aichi why are you crying? Did you get a boo boo?

LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!

Homura: (turns to look at the newcomers at the stairs for a moment before going back to Aichi) This isn't your first appearance here, Aichi Sendou. At least, your name isn't unfamiliar to people here.
