[seriously don't let me make PSL opening posts tbh; anyway, top levels for each thread underneath the post. or something. I'LL DEAL WITH THIS LATER OR SO HELP ME]
[ So far, so good. The plan that Inaba had concocted in her head had worked. Then again, as one of the former Super High School Level Analyst (the other one being the deceased Enoshima Junko) she couldn't help but want to see things from the inside. It was risky, yes, but she knows that this is the easiest way for her to get to him.
Because even if most of the Future Foundation wanted him dead, Inaba was not one of those people. She's thought it over so many times and the answer is always the same. Death isn't the solution, as it only begets more death.
Nevertheless, when her eyes flutter open, she can't help but check her surroundings and try to wriggle her way out... and fail. ]
Oi! Whoever did this, you better show yourself! [ Best to find out if he'll actually come and meet her or not. Hopefully this doesn't backfire on her. ]
[The silence stretches on until soft footfalls herald the arrival of someone. He steps out of the dark as if he had made out of it. The chain dangling down his chest jangles as he moves, artless but almost graceful. Komaeda drags a chair out slowly, he slightly tipped to hear the deafening torturous screech of metal on tile. He waits until the sound dies down before he drops into it, one leg over the other.
His sharp eyes narrow in complete contrast to the smile on his face.] Well. To have such a prestigious visitor this deep in our territory...in *Kuzuryuu-kun's* territory.
One would think you are a fool but, your title says otherwise. You know why I'm here, don't you? How do you trip up an analyst.
[ Honestly, Inaba can't help but winces slightly at the grating sound of the chair being dragged, something that causes her to bite down on her lower lip hard, feeling some slight discomfort with the whole ordeal. ]
You already know. I already know. There's no need for you to say anything more, now is there? Just get it over with if you're trying to trip me up.
[ Honestly, agressively sighing will not show how much in dismay Inaba is, but she does it anyway. It's even worse when he's so close that she can feel his warm breath trickling on her skin, causing her to shudder slightly. ]
Your talent deals with luck. So I wanted to see if I'd get lucky tonight.
[ She's internally laughing at her own joke while tossing him a snide smile all the same. Of course she's going to make that sort of joke -- honestly, if she weren't the other Super High School Level Analyst, she probably would have been dubbed as the Super High School Level Lewd Jokes. Or something similar in that nature. ]
But I don't expect anything nice for someone like me. [ By the way she says it, it's almost as if she could possibly sink into despair at any moment. As someone whose ideals are so colored by black and white, especially how she sees herself as a 'dark' person, it's hard to tell where that tipping point is. ] Yes, I did come to see you. After all, you're the one who leads the rest of them, right? You don't have to answer that. It was rhetorical.
I want to help you. Without killing any of you. I... want to believe in you.
[ Shit. She can hear her breathing grow heavy and her face is warm. In fact, her whole body is warm; unspeakably so. Even though Inaba has hints on what this means, she makes absolutely certain not to show it. She isn't going to even rub her thighs together to ease the friction. ]
[ She keeps her eyes fixed on him, but her breath still remains heated, muddling her thoughts. But she shakes her head as if it would help, but it doesn't. ]
But do I have a reason to lie? [ It's getting harder to think as she finds herself rubbing her thighs together. Even though she didn't want to, the urge makes her unable to resist the temptation any longer. ] And yeah, it would be nice. But just because it would be doesn't mean I'm going to get it. I already know that much. As for that path of hope you want...
[ Does she want to tell him? Maybe she'll try to bait it out, laughing. ] Give me what I want and I'll tell you. Or are you going to force it out of me?
[He grasps her chin in his fingers and leans close until their a hair away from their foreheads touching.]
Force? What do you take me for? I'm definitely not that sort of man. [His words are heavy, as if she carved a slight graze deep enough to kick up despair.]
You have to tell me what you want. But if you're vulgar about it I'll make you wait.
[ His fingers on her chin is almost enough for her to need more than just this. It's actually so overwhelming that she can't help but suck in a breath and feel her heart pump more loudly, more quickly. ]
Are you, now... [ It's hard to tell if she's making a quick joke or if she's being serious, considering how dismissively she's speaking. ]
Maybe it is vulgar to even have a thought like this. [ She laughs, not even bothering to hide it. ] If you're going to make me wait, then you already know I won't give you what you want, right? But I want you to kiss me, first.
[ Things were, let's just say, complicated. It's the easiest word to describe the situation, but it isn't something that can't be helped. They're going through some really hard times, and what doesn't help is the sheer fact that Nanami doesn't actually have a physical body anymore. She's just a shadow of the person she used to be (quite literally, in fact) and it's a little disturbing. Shades aren't the most common creatures to see in video games, so she only knows the basic knowledge about them, but to her it's kind of akin to being a Heartless, or something like that... probably.
Nevertheless, she doesn't consider her own personal worries to be important; the person she's most concerned about is -- ]
Komaeda... [ A pause, uneasy. ] ...-kun? Are you there?
[ She's kind of relieved that it's not daytime when she's decided to talk to him, really. ]
I'm here. [Something shifts in the shadows of the house, moving slowly across the floor. Komaeda steps slowly into the light. Pale motes of fire rise into the air as his fox tails sweep the floor.]
I didn't go anywhere. [It hasn't been easy. Especially not with his fox spirit self and her being a shade. But somehow they're managing or so he hopes. His ears flick.] Shall I summon a light for you?
[The faint motes of foxfire glow marginally brighter. It's enough to make shadows more apparently but not banish them. He puts a hand to his forehead and exhales.]
I'm getting better at this. It's still rather draining despite that. Sorry, I'll seek to be more useful to you in the future.
[He pulls out a chair and sinks down into it. His tails sweep to the side and around his feet.]
[ Nanami shakes her head in response, her lips still curved into that rather pleasant smile as always. She doesn't have any issues with Komaeda-kun. Not in the slightest bit. ]
It's okay. You don't have to force yourself, Komaeda-kun... just tell me when it's too much. [ She brightens some, even as she knows the full situation. But she doesn't want him to sacrifice his needs just for her. That just isn't right. ] Alright?
I'm glad. ...you don't have to worry about me. [The changes have brought with it some strange urges and instincts. He stays inside at night to avoid...the way people listen to him at night. Last time had been well. Awkward. He's pretty sure he flirted, and he doesn't know how to do that.]
I'm quite happy staying in here with the books for company.
[ Nanami puffs out her cheeks rather indignantly, almost as if she's a little frustrated at the fact that he doesn't want her to worry about him. Of course she'll worry about him. They're friends! Or at least, she would hope they are. ]
Mmmph... did you read any good books though, Komaeda-kun? [ Might as well ask. ]

HPAU; 13th future foundation head in the land of despair ( Inaba + Servant )

Just my talent alone will cause you no end of trouble. Isn't that nice? We could go on all day but,

You wanted my attention.

believe you? Mmm, but you're not wrong you could call me the class representative replacement.
[It makes him laugh, the pain of that stabbing deep and driving his despair higher. Not that it's hard to do anymore.]
Wouldn't be nice if I just agreed to whatever you want? [He lowers his voice, lashes lowering as he leans in so close his breath is on her face.]
You know what I'm after. Only a path to hope will do.
