Makoto Naegi

[boldsimplicity]

[He noticeably deflates when Naegi tells him that Oowada isn't here, causing the temperature to dip slightly. Ah... to think that they have been separated so quickly after they just formed their manly bond! It's truly frustrating! But as upsetting as it may be, Ishimaru knows that their bond won't be broken, even if years go by! He will be always be happy to greet his brother, whenever he sees him again.

Hopefully soon rather than later, though!

Ishimaru notices the light dimming around his classmate, but he doesn't think too much about it yet. Surely Naegi is upset that his bro isn't here either! It's a feeling he can truly understand.]

Ah... it seems that you miss her. Do not worry, we'll surely reunite with her and the others!

[With him, Naegi, Asahina, and Hagakure here, surely they can figure something out to rescue the remaining students! They are away from the school now, so there are plenty of opportunities! This is a big city and so many resources--

--That rising energy deflates completely when their dead classmates are brought up.

Ishimaru looks pained and tears begin to develop in his eyes, unable to stop himself from remembering how awful each of their deaths were. It's all seriously messed up!]

T-they can appear?! Enoshima-kun, Maizono-kun, and Kuwata-kun... how's that possible?!

[His heart feels a little lighter. He had almost forgotten, what being around Ishimaru is like... Even if there's still that part of him that's deeply saddened, it feels easier to have hope when Ishimaru has such optimism as well.] ...You're right. It's... been really hard, since she left. But we'll definitely see them again.

[It's not completely a lie, Naegi tells himself, swallowing hard. Ishimaru will get to see everyone again. It's just...

But he shakes himself. It isn't the first reminder Naegi's had to give himself since he's been able to see his classmate again, but he can't lose sight of what's important right now.]

It is possible, though. I know it'll sound strange, but... Here in this place, Empatheias... The supernatural is a reality here. This world reacts to our emotions and manifests them as magic around us. People are brought from different worlds or realities, regardless of whether they're alive or dead. [He shakes his head.] I know it sounds like something out of a story, but it's the truth.

[He hesitates. Ishimaru needs to know. Naegi shouldn't leave him in the dark, and yet... Should he really divulge what's happened with Enoshima?

Then again... As Ishimaru's classmate, that's Naegi's responsibility more than anyone else's, isn't it?]

I should tell you, though... Enoshima-san is here, but things are... more complicated about her than when you last saw her.

[He'll have to come out and say the rest. Of course he will. But he should start there. Better to ease Ishimaru into it than shock him outright.]

[boldsimplicity]

[The information about Empatheias is enough to drive the grief from him and Ishimaru can't help but stare at Naegi in shock. Emotions??? Magic?? Different realities and worlds?! This is beyond strange! But Naegi wouldn't lie, he's an honest student! Ishimaru is sure about that, it's a fine quality his classmate has!

Although, his punctuality could use some work... late for the very first welcoming ceremony! It's not becoming! He must make a note of that for later on... he wants to help Naegi to be on time for things!]

I-I'll be honest, Naegi-kun, everything you're telling me is very difficult to believe! But for now, I shall trust you! After all, we did just come from a school where a talking bear wants us to kill each other!

[Ishimaru laughs, although it's extremely awkward. But that's pretty much par for the course for him.]

Ah, Enoshima-kun is here?! That's splendid! You just mentioned that the dead can be here, so it makes sense! [As much sense as it can make at least!] I hope that she isn't walking around with holes in her body!
