that said, peeking into star four has... people or no people, what do they even do at midnight? probably sleep, no one can talk, but he'll find that the top bunk is not occupied, and it's been made so he hasn't touched it since he got up that morning before after checking the dorm room, he can trot to the study area, or even the kitchen, komaeda has not left anything familiar in any of these places —
hm, maybe he's busy elsewhere? unless subaru would like to double check. )
no subject
no he won't doublecheck, if he hadn't noticed komaeda writhing in pain or laughter or what have you in his lookabouts the rooms then he's not there, so subaru'll trek back out into the courtyard and take a loop around the wisteria as he passes just to make sure the other isn't there before he intends to head into the school.]
no subject
why is he checking the wisteria...? please die.
looking around the wisteria are footsteps that's common in that general spot, lots of students pass it by, but considering he's now inside of the school — he has many choices to make.
...
all the while, komaeda's too busy holding his head, fingers curling in white locks, and he's yanking, not a constant back and forth, but one tug, and a constant pull. he'll get up from where he's located, on shaky legs that hardly want to support his migraine. unfortunately, he finds himself falling back down because his knees want to give out that bad. )
no subject
anyway he wasn't right the first time for the library, but it's still the closest so he'll go and swing around there, check down the aisles to see if komaeda's around, but after that he'll actually check the bathrooms since that Was where he was before you just. never know]
no subject
down the aisles, subaru will see books are neatly in place, one by one aside from a hard copy of the galactic railroad is left on a nearby table, partway open, but maybe someone just left it behind. is that a clue? or a red herring?
page 29.
“don’t be cruel. how can you ignore me when i might be done in at any moment by either a lightning bolt or an eruption? or, perhaps, i’ll be knocked over in a grand fashion by a raging storm, or carried away in noah’s flood… in any case, i’ll be dead. does that mean nothing to you?”
aside from that, there's nothing saying he's there, and checking the bathroom? just as useless.
will he keep searching? )
no subject
... ... ...
that book was out of place, huh... he rounds back just to reread it, working at his midnight addled mind before he sets off, tentatively, to the roof. he really hopes komaeda's okay, because he doesn't know how long someone can "not breathe" or some typo'd version of it, but if this is some kind of prank the other'll have a genuine worry to harbor.
he'll be okay, he'll be okay. he is okay.]

"what reason do i have to continue living? lowering and raising my arm each day... switching my eyes back and forth from green to red... what's the point of it all? i've grown to find it tedious. let me die, then. but how? that's right...i was still deciding between lighting and an eruption..."
luckily for subaru, luckily... that was a pretty good idea, because when he comes up to the roof, and opens the door to find it only opens by a mere crack, and he'll hit something behind it — a small thump, nothing too big or important, or maybe it is...
does he want to push the door even more? )
no subject
...?
[a soundless "maddy" on his lips, the vocal constriction of his chords tight with hope]
no subject
anyway, he'll find komaeda laying on the ground, face first... congrats! )
but a bad sort of !?
!
[oh, he can't speak, this is the worst, he hates this time of night the most and he thinks of telling rokuro, but hesitates and decides not; there will be time later, at least to say that things were okay and stuff but he has to make sure things are okay right now as he very
very
carefully pushes the door a little more to wedge out, remembering what happened when he took out the knife from the back of that body and deciding to leave the glass in there for the moment. his heart hurts from how hard it's pounding, but he'll check to make sure komaeda's breathing by gently turning his head and putting his hand close to the other's mouth. he'll, uh. he'll figure out how to first aid him in a second.]
he'd rather go to the void than explain himself honestly
just leave him there, he'll come back to his senses soon enough. )
stop we're not going to the void. also @ ori hey for u too
he breathes a quiet, even for the time, sigh of relief, sitting down beside komaeda and looking up at the stars. subaru takes out his pda, squinting at the time and then tapping out a reply to rokuro finally--]
@ r.arata
found him! he's okay, [........] just sleeping rn
i'll scold him for his mean prank when he wakes up
and for worrying you
rest easy rocchan, i'd never let anything happen to maddy
[... yeah, that's fine. a mean prank, because he doesn't want to tell rokuro about the things he found, the way he found komaeda. maybe he'll give komaeda a comfier place to lay his head actually how about his lap]
no subject
Flick him on the forehead for me when he wakes up
[ ... ]
And thanks, for finding him
no subject
will do!
and ofc!!
he's my friend too
if u ever need anything rocchan, just say the word!
[... now it's just time to wait for komaeda to be a little more into the present world. he'll play with the other's hood, staring at his arm and wondering if he'll be as off as he was in the bathroom or if it'll be different.]
no subject
don't touch his hands? there is nothing consensual about this!! just play with his hood like a good little dog... )
