[It is indeed the place Hajime had been trapped in! Well, kind of. He had been trapped here, and yet, trapped in another location exactly like it on this same island.
...Virtual realities are hard to explain. Either way, the island she's on now is very real, and very, very different from the one they'd left behind. This one really does look like a tropical paradise, except for, well, the large, looming steel building. She's on the central island of Jabberwock Island, and in front of her is the former headquarters of the Future Foundation, currently taken over by Super High School Level Despair.
Or, rather, former Super High School Level Despair. It's been almost a month since the last island Hinata had been on, before this one -- he remembered it all, of course, Ivan had been true to her word -- and really, he can only thank those memories for why he didn't succumb to Despair once again. Everyone he'd met on that island who had counted on him, and his classmates. It's strange having more than a few bonds with people.
He's outside, sitting atop one of the overlooks over the ocean, when he spots Rei down belong. For half a second, he's shocked and utterly terrified. Had the Future Foundation -- not Makoto Naegi's faction, the rest of them -- found them? But no, a closer look, and a brilliant smile crosses his face.]
Rei!
[Give him-- a couple minutes, he's got to make his way down. It looks like he's still wearing the same jeans and t-shirt as the island, but his hair is a little lighter, his expression a little brighter than it had been. It's going to be hard to tell until he gets closer still, but... he definitely looks just a little older as well, closer to eighteen or nineteen.]
R-Rei! It's... it's really you?
[Cautious... optimism as he skids to a stop in front of her, panting a little with the exertion of running all the way here.]
