Homura: I'm familiar with that. (This teenage-looking girl?)
Sayaka: Y-yeah... ((opts not to point out that slippery towels would be utterly useless in drying things) T-thanks. (takes the towel and starts drying off, using that excuse to come up with what to say next to this apparent ghost who doesn't realize it)

-Aichi smiles and nods.-
"You're welcome. I'm glad to help."
-Well... At least he seems to be a Friendly Ghost.-
-He notices Muramasa out of the corner of his eye.-
-He's worried that she'll ignore him like almost everyone else, but...-
"Oh, hello..."
-...What's she doing?-
Basement (Pool) (Ghost Aichi)
-Ah, Muramasa noticed him! Thank goodness!-
-He just doesn't understand why so many people don't respond to him... It's like they're ignoring him each time. It makes him rather sad, honestly...-
-...Switching away from that subject, it seems like Muramasa's another person that has met one of those other Aichis he's heard about!-
"Ah... I think you might have me confused for one of the other mes here... I know there's at least one that looks a lot like me..."
-Yeah, he looks exactly like the older Aichi you've met (Not the zombie-slayer, the other one), Muramasa. The only difference is that his clothes are somewhat different (Although that red turtleneck is definitely the same one.-
-...Also this Aichi is weirdly transparent, kind of foggy-looking, and his colors are a bit washed out.-
-Weird.-
"...And yeah. I'm still getting used to this place. I didn't expect to see a pool down here!"
-Aichi gets a little confused with Sayaka's concerned expression.-
"Um... Is something wrong?"
-Really, he doesn't mean to be bothering her if he is...-

Pool
Sayaka: (A) Oh, no, everything's fine! Don't worry about it. (said a bit hastily)
(M) Oh! Uh, well, Homura started something like that over there already, I think. (points to the other end of the pool where white lines have been painted in the concrete floor)
Range
Homura: Yes. (Serious face is serious)

-Yep, this one is definitely a ghost. He's dead. Completely and utterly dead.-
-No hostility or anything either. Pretty much the textbook definition of a Friendly Ghost's aura.-
-He's absolutely harmless.-
-Meanwhile, Aichi seems intrigued about the idea of a jacuzzi.-
"A jacuzzi? Wow!"
-...'Host'?-
"Huh? A host...?"
-He seems a bit confused, but he gets distracted by Sayaka's hasty response.-
"O-Oh... OK..."
-He's not really sure why she answered so hastily, but he has no reason to doubt her word.-
Basement (Pool) (Ghost Aichi)
-Ah, that makes sense!-
"Yeah, it's apparently pretty cold in here..."
-Even though it doesn't seem like it to him.-
-Oh, Sayaka's asking about the multiple Aichis...-
"Yeah... There's apparently more than one me here, but I haven't met any of them... I saw a picture of one though... He looked like me from around half a year ago. The same hairstyle, clothes, and everything!"
-So has Sayaka met any of them?-
"Have you met any of the others?"
-You did meet that little boy one from before at least...-
Pool
Sayaka: Actually, yeah, for a few moments. He was younger than you, I think...also sick when I saw him. (Pleasenotdiefromsicknesspleasenotdiefromsicknesspleasenotdiefromsickness...)
Range
Homura: My world...isn't like yours, though. At least in terms of the environment.

-Oh, a younger version of him is here...-
"...O-Oh. He must be really scared being in such a strange place..."
-He seems really down now. He's not having a freak out about it like the other Aichi did learning that a younger version of himself is here, but it still bothers him thinking about it...-
"Is he feeling better at least?"
-The idea of being sick... That's not pleasant.-
-Hmm... When was the last time he was sick? He hasn't been recently... Except for the times he fainted after using his PSY Qualia...-
-...Wait... Huh? When did that...?-
-...His memory is weirdly jumbled... He remembers that everyone forgot Royal Paladin, Shadow Paladin, and Kagero...-
-And he remembers that he was really anxious about that PSY Qualia he had gained like he had it before, but he didn't remember having it...-
-...But now he does remember having it before then...-
-...Wha...?-
-He's snapped out of his thoughts by Muramasa speaking. He looks rather confused about the expression on her face.-
"Um... Is something wrong?"
-Both Muramasa and Sayaka are acting strange around him... He has no idea why...-
Ahhhhh... The horrendous confusion that the nature of Ghost Aichi's death caused... Season 2 was extremely confusing to begin with and by going with it... I have made things just that more confusing.
Basement (Pool) (Ghost Aichi)
-Oh, so there's an older Aichi taking care of him. Aichi smiles and sighs in relief.-
"I'm sure he's all right then. As long as someone was taking care of him..."
-...Although he can't see himself having any idea of what to do in that situation... Maybe that other Aichi is far more competent than he is...-
-Aichi's looking at Muramasa in concern.-
-Is she OK...? Does she have a headache...?-
"S-Should I go find some medicine or something...?"

-Aichi nods after snapping out of his dumbfounded state.-
"O-Oh, sure!"
-He rushes over to the pool chair and tries to grab the towel.-
"...?"
-...Weird, it keeps slipping out his hand...-
-...Or at least that's what he thinks. Sayaka can clearly tell his hand is going through it if she's looking.-
-He is not aware of his current nature...-
-Aichi's starting to get a little frustrated, but apparently he manages to grab it through sheer force of will and focus.-
-To someone unable to see spirits this towel would simply be floating.-
-He rushes over to Sayaka with the towel in hand.-
"H-Here... Sorry I took so long... The towel was really slippery for some reason..."
