II. [VIDEO]/[ACTION]
[Nighttime. It feels so different when the sky is void of the usual summer mugginess and over-cast skies that often clouded the skies of Iwatodai. It seemed, for the first time since leaving The Door, Minako could finally breathe again.]
I don't know why I waited so long to come up here. The view's unreal. [She is dangling her necklace in front of her, letting it swing like a pendulum in front of the waxing crescent moon. Ten more days, give or take.] Anyone still awake enough to come join me?
[She'd mentioned star-gazing before to some of her fellow campers. They hadn't made an organized effort to make it happen just yet, but surely they wouldn't mind her testing the waters, so to speak.]
What time is it? Don't wanna miss curfew... [She sat up on the roof, lifting her hands to slip her necklace back over her head when a soft skidding noise made her jolt.] ..... [She went still suddenly, though her breath caught. She'd slid down a few good inches of the roof, but her foot maintained some bit of traction.] Eheh...that was close!
[She starts to push herself back up to where she was sitting, but what traction her foot had managed was once again lost, and this time her sliding decent didn't stop.]
[[ooc: Cabin 11 folks, feel free to hear the commotion on the roof and the consequential sound of Minako falling off someone off the side of the cabin. Of course action is open to anyone on camp if they want to come check on her!]]

This is why I don’t pray to gods. [Idly, he picks up a pebble and tosses it toward the lake, skipping it across the surface.] I’d rather be in control of my own destiny.
[Right… Nyx. The Fall. Deaths and seals and… No. He doesn’t want to think about all that anymore, like he already has, for many hours on end.]
This situation isn’t quite the same, Minako. [Akihiko remarks in a somewhat wistful tone.] But I know what you mean.
[He doesn’t catch sight of her grin, but he does jolt to awareness when she jabs his shoulder.] Huh? [He turns his head to glance her way.] Um… I can’t do that. It’s selfish, and… [He’s very unused to asking things for himself.] …You should worry about the others instead. Try to grant their wishes, if you can. They deserve it.
no subject
[It wasn't like her to be so pessimistic, nor to really contradict Akihiko so openly. But since they were being honest with each other...]
You're right. A lot of things are different. [Shinjiro's different. Ken's different. Ryoji and Aigis...] We're different. [At least, in their memories and feelings, they were on different pages of the same book, it seemed.] But that doesn't have to be bad!
[That's right. They were still able to turn it around! There's still time!] When's there going to be a better time for you to be selfish without judgment! NONE, I tell you! So c'mon!
no subject
[Three guesses as to which one he feels more inclined toward.]
You mean the memories, right? [He nods in agreement.] Well, there’s nothing we can do about that now, except try to work together moving forward. [Shinji and Ken feel different to him too, oddly enough… He doesn’t remember Ryoji, and Aigis doesn’t seem to have changed. He has to appreciate the little things.]
I, uh… I’ll have to think about it first. [Akihiko relents with notable reluctance.] I mean, it’s not like I can do everything here, so… I need to figure out which goals are realistic.
[He takes a few minutes to watch Minako in silence, huddled under the warmth of his jacket. Without realizing it, a soft smile is curving his lips, matching the fondness that lingers within his eyes. When a sudden gust of wind catches his attention, he looks up to acknowledge the darkness of the night sky.] …Should we head back now? You probably wanna rest up your leg and all…
