week 4

[Just like the previous week the status quo is restored with frighteningly quick efficiency. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets. Even the glass roses Choromatsu and Takumi broke after the trial in their fit of anger have been replaced with fresh ones. All signs that there was anything amiss this weekend are completely gone.

There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

[ooc: Don't forget to to turn in your AC for week 3, submit your memory regains and put in your threads for the Benefactors!]

[She gasps, on hand coming up to cover her mouth, brows furrowing and looking like she might just cry.]

But- [She shakes her head, dismissing the protest. He's clearly thought about this a fair bit.]

Not just luck, right? Hope, love... faith? and luck.

[Did she remember those right?]

[A lump gets kind of stuck in his throat. He clears it and nods.]

Y...yeah. That's right. You remember.

[It's just a bookmark. He holds it out to her, his hand steadier than his voice.]

O-one for each leaf.

[She finally reaches out and takes it from him, running her fingers lightly over it with a small smile.

Then she steps closer to him and pulls him into a hug, squeezing him tightly and kissing his cheek.]

Thank you, sweetie.

[The hug--it's unexpected and it's not. Awash in nostalgia and a aching a little, he returns the hug, though the cheek kiss flusters him too much on its own to pay back.]

Hey. No big deal. Just a little something to remind you we've got your back like you've got ours.

[She doesn't believe you that it's no big deal, Junpei, but she won't call you on it, at least.]

If we don't all look out for each other then... we're just playing inta what PAL wants.
