Week 0, Sunday

[moonlightbeast]

[Hey roommate! Did you know your roommate has nightmares? Because he sure do!

Luckily they're quiet ones, but Atsushi is definitely waking up late on Sunday night after one of his nightmares. He's trying to be as quiet as he can be, but his steadying breaths are loud in the quiet night and he's sitting up and rubbing at his face.]

[9mon]

[Hey, buddy...

He comes back in with a glass of water and hands it over.]

Are you okay?

[moonlightbeast]

Ah-

[Busted.

He sinks down into the bed a bit, almost like he's trying to hide, before he finally reaches out to take the water.]

Just bad dreams. A lot happened in the last couple days.

[9mon]

Yeah... It got really scary there for a while, huh?

Having nightmares is pretty normal.

Week 2, Saturday

[moonlightbeast]

[Okay yeah after how the clues fit Kumon, Atsushi is absolutely going after him to check on Kumon. He's going back to Amber apartment with some food and he'll grab a blanket from the living room before going to track down the boy. Where is he hiding?]

[9mon]

[In his room with his stuffed Juza plushie.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Oh boy. Is he crying?]

[9mon]

[He is, but he's trying to keep it quiet and muffled.]

w2: Sunday

[9mon]

[He's still hugging onto Atsushi after the end of execution.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Yeah they can just. Hug it out all the way back to Amber apartment. At least there they can be surrounded by warn stuffed animals and pretend the cold outside world doesn't exist.]

[9mon]

[He won't let go until Atsushi does, but on their way to their room, he'll grab all the little things they've made. Soothing.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Time to make a plushie pile! They can lay in it, it's fine.]

Stay here for a while, yeah?

W3: Friday

[9mon]

[He's going to be in Amber's living room for a little while, curled up with his head in his hands.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Oh no Kumon.

Atsushi will immediately go over and sit down near him, putting his hand on Kumon's back.]

Hey, it's okay, yeah? I'm right here.

[9mon]

[He clings onto Atsushi, now that he's close.]

Two people died, a-and something happened at the stage. I was there with Kazu and we didn't hear anything.

w4: Saturday

[9mon]

[He's going in, radiating bad vibes, but trying his best to put them away.]

Atsushi?

[Soft, like he doesn't want to startle him.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Bad vibes are understandable.

The small realm is mostly dark, with the only light coming from a set of stained glass windows. There's no visible furniture in the room, and in fact the only detail that can be seen is the fact that the floor of this room is made from wood.

Atsushi is sitting in the center of the lit up area, with his knees drawn up to his chest.]

Hey...how are you doing?

[Kumon kinda. Went through a lot of shit today. I can't believe he found a body.]

[9mon]

I... I'll be okay.

[He is not gonna promise that because he really has no idea what's about to happen in these next couple of weeks.

Anxiety for tomorrow, the feeling of "I didn't do enough", and generalized dislike for what's going on here. He wishes none of this was happening.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Atsushi doesn't believe that, but he's smiling regardless.]

Good.

...Sorry, that I'm leaving you alone like this. But maybe Vin will let you stay with her if it gets lonely at night? And I bet Kazunari would come over if you called.

w4: Sunday

[9mon]

[ Just like he promised, he's here before everything is about to happen. ]

Atsushi?

[moonlightbeast]

[Atsushi looks very tired, but he's smiling when Kumon comes back in the wee hours of the morning.]

Hey. Thanks for coming back.

[He has two things in his hand: the book and an Amber-made stuffed chameleon.]

[9mon]

Yeah, of course. I promised.

Week 7, Wednesday

[moonlightbeast]

[Atsushi doesn't know how long this little house will last, so he's making the best use of everything he has. Which means he can be found at the kotatsu, reading one of the several books that was left behind for him.

When Kumon approaches, he'll look up and smile.]

Hey! Hopefully it wasn't too bad, having the room to yourself.

[9mon]

[Takes a seat with him! A nice and cozy kotatsu even if it is approaching spring]

It was definitely better when you were there, but I did okay.

[moonlightbeast]

[It's fine the weather is still cold enough for it.]

I'm glad. I wish I hadn't had to leave you so suddenly like that, but...

[Well. He was refracting and couldn't give a proper goodbye.]
