[ Terry really wants to use the "I fell down the stairs" excuse, but he can't. His body isn't agreeing. His mind isn't cooperating. ]
... I got into a fight. I don't know why it happened. We weren't even arguing and I felt really high-strung this morning, but... yeah, I guess I was the one who started it.
[ Terry sighs and takes off his hat. It becomes clear that the bandages around his head aren't for his forehead, but rather the back of his head. He brushes through his own hair back and puts the hat back on. ]
[ when he takes off the hat, she moves in close to examine the bandages. her frown deepens. this is very upsetting. terry is hurt but he also got into a fight with someone? so is there someone else also out there with similar injuries? ]
[ Terry has a pretty dark expression on his face, but it's more along the lines of regret. ]
It's--not his fault, okay? I started it.
[ Terry's wondering if his injuries are worse than his. He did strike the center of his back... That could actually paralyze someone, but Mondo seemed fine with moving. ]
He didn't mean to. We both didn't. It's... complicated.
[ mondo has shown her so much kindness before. he can't imagine him getting into a fight. sure, he might look big and scary, but he's actually a really nice person and doesn't deserve to get hurt. rei's really upset that two of her favourite people have gotten hurt. ]
Did... Did a Shadow hit you with something weird? They can sometimes make you feel really weird and not like yourself.
[ she has seen it happen a few times with the p3/4 kids and with herself and zen. they would fall asleep, get really angry, become confused, or even walk backwards. ]
It was morning. I think Shadows only appear in that school place. We were in the forest outskirts...
[ ...
Even though he's overrun with emotions, he's still able to think. He has a brain cell sometimes. ]
... I've been experiencing some weird things lately. There was a full blown week where I could only tell the truth. This time, I... started a fight by punching Mondo first, but I wouldn't... normally fight him like that.
[ terry has some serious problems... he needs to see someone... also the mood whiplash doesn't bother rei that much because she is like that sometimes as well. she goes through her pockets to grab her omamori. ]
Okay! Then Personaaaaaa!
[ lmfao she's just copying how some of the p3/4 kids yell "persona" before they summon. it turns a few npcs but they just imagine that it's some tiny girl who has way too much energy and they are correct. what they don't see is that ananke appears and sits next to terry, placing a gentle hand over his head and neck to start the healing process. in the meanwhile, the little bunnies chill on the bench. some of them sit down and look around while others jump onto terry's lap. ]
[ His doctor friend was like "i give up" and let Terry do what he wanted in his home. rip.
And aw. Rei's so cute when she yells like that. Terry's becoming too doting. It really is becoming a problem. He doesn't care about the NPCs looking their direction either. The healing feels nice as usual and he wonders if Ananke is tired of seeing him yet lol
He reaches over to pet one of the small bunnies. They're so cute... ]
[ that sounds just like terry's case in cetana... ]
[ ananke probably is overly concerned by how often she has to see terry... but is genuinely okay with him. it only takes about two or three diarahans to hopefully get the job done and that is enough time for terry to pet the bunnies. they graciously accept the pets as they just sit there and twitch their nose. ]
Ehehe, you're welcome. [ now that their job is done, ananke and the tiny bunnies fade away. ] Um, what do you want to do for your break? I'm free if you want to do anything!
[ Going on a trip with Rei would actually be really nice. However, it makes him sad that Terry would have to decline. ]
I was thinking about going on a trip by myself for a week or so. I really need to clear my head... what do they call it--a "journey to find myself"? Something like that. I'd really like to take you with me, but I think I need some time alone. Sorry, Rei... but I'll spend time with you before I go.
[ pinky promises are, like, my jam. i love them and would never skip an opportunity for them. rei takes terry's pinky and shakes her hand, sealing the deal. she gives him a big smile. ]
Will you call? [ she told him before that she's at the inn so she can be reached there but then she realizes something. ] Oh, do you have a cellphone?
No. I've been looking into getting a cheap prepaid one. You know, those flip phones with number pads on them? I've never used those before, so I'll have to get used to it... I haven't gotten the chance to though...
I took a look earlier at a phone shop. The flip phones average around like... ($50-$125 USD equivalent in Hirajiro currency) and smartphones, at least the one I used to have was like... ($2000 USD equivalent in Hirajiro currency). Probably because flip phones are outdated and because people like smartphones a lot better for their convenience.
[ terry, looking at a flip phone: the fuck is this artifact from the past ]
[ Hm. If Rei hasn't even heard of a smartphone, it would be difficult to explain for Terry. Since the sun hasn't completely set yet, he knows where the phone store is. It should still be open. ]

... I know. You're really nice, T-chan, you wouldn't get into a fight if you could help it.
[ her hand lowers from his arm and towards his hand. if he'll let her, she'll hold onto his hand and squeeze it tightly. ]
When you're feeling better, tell Mo-chan that you're sorry. I'm sure he'll understand if you explain it to him.
no subject
I... I will. That's the first thing I'll do when I see him.
[ ...
Terry looks up at the sky again. ]
... I think I'll have to take a short break.
no subject
Mm, rest will be good for you.
[ maybe rest somewhere other than a tent or a hospital might be good... ]
Is it okay if I heal you? I think my healing magic got stronger so it should be okay even during the day.
no subject
Terry looks back down and turns over to Rei to look at her. ]
Really? That would be great! You don't have to ask for permission! Just heal away!
[ He feels... so happy all of a sudden. He shouldn't be that happy, but it feels like he just won Hirajiro's lottery.
The mood whiplash leaves him tired... ]

Yeah, I feel like I could run a hundred laps around Hirajiro! Thanks, Rei. You're the best.

It's okay. I understand, but where are you going?

[ the biggest sad face right now, but she hold out her pinky. ]
Let's promise that you'll come back. For sure!

Terry grins at that, and hooks his pinky with Rei's. ]
I promise.
