( if komaeda knew what was going on, they're probably immediately on his list, what list? well, figure it out. anyway, the crushing sensation at the back of his head is so bad, he'd rather do it himself, at least it'd end the problem. though, there's a part of this that makes his heart skip a beat as he brings his hands over the top of his head like a child would do during a tornado drill against the wall.

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 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.]

( ...

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. )

[they had a moment there? he won't ever forget their wisteria time together, you know...? it's where they first understood one another, where komaeda touched him for the first time beneath those branches... at the root of the big tree, the two of them finding a kind of hopeful comfort in the other...

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]

( yeah, the same wisteria where subaru's mind was addled with drugs, and komaeda started to learn there was something more about him. it was a fleeting moment considering they were awake, then they were asleep possibly breathing in the same rhythm. but, he's not there.

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? )

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-11-17 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[oh... they based a show off this tale, and as tempting as it is to take it with him he knows even his friendship with haruka wouldn't keep his fingernails safe; he leaves it, leaves the empty bathroom, and of course he keeps searching.

... ... ...

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.]

( rereading the book offers many things, even maybe out the corner of subaru's eyes, he'll see another thoughtful piece that connects to the former:

"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? )
starrypoint: (interdigitate98)

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-11-17 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[... maybe he is like, a detective. he'll gently push it enough that he can crouch down and look through it, with the help of the moon and the darkness he's gotten used to (with a goal in mind, it doesn't bother him so much) maybe he can see what, or who, it is.]

...?

[a soundless "maddy" on his lips, the vocal constriction of his chords tight with hope]

( that's sooooo unfair, because when he pushes it gently, there's nothing immediate, and he can see a few droplets of blood, sadly they've already been there... and most of that is stained into komaeda's jacket... from stabbing a shard of glass into his arm god knows how long ago. luckily subaru didn't push the door roughly, huh? would have made more blood come out, and send his ass directly to the void, but he's spared.

anyway, he'll find komaeda laying on the ground, face first... congrats! )
starrypoint: (pic#15253437)

but a bad sort of !?

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-11-17 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[oh my god if nothing else, he is a dog who is good at finding bodies. the smell of blood is keener with no sound, and even if there had been it feels like the only thing he can "hear" is the distance pounding of his own in his ears.]

!

[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.]
commences: (pic♯15039935)

he'd rather go to the void than explain himself honestly

[personal profile] commences 2021-11-17 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
( his body is fine... enough, there's nothing wrong with him aside from the stab wound in his arm? but that's normal, typical komaeda behavior that doesn't need any tending to. he's not dead, unfortunately, because subaru can tell that he's breathing, and just not all there — he could kill komaeda RIGHT now if he wanted to, unfortunately, he is not that brave or evil.

just leave him there, he'll come back to his senses soon enough. )
starrypoint: (me24)

stop we're not going to the void. also @ ori hey for u too

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-11-17 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[...

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]

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-11-17 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[... well, half a truth is the truth. komaeda is okay. he glances down at the other, wonders if he ought to try that magic again, and decides that risking it would lead to one of two outcomes -- neither of them ideal.]

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.]

( he'll be in the present world in four hours (no i lied maybe an hr), i hope subaru enjoys having to sit there on the roof top with his limp body until he decides he's ready to come out the void.

don't touch his hands? there is nothing consensual about this!! just play with his hood like a good little dog... )

[it's fine he can watch the stars and count them out to calm himself. think about how the only way he can tell komaeda is alive by the faint breath against his hand every now and then (because he checks, just to make sure) because the other is so corpse-like otherwise. subaru will never play with komaeda's hands tf he will only ever wring the hood dont worry.

backreading conversations is fun.]
