Anyway, Ryuji is looking for Hak if he can be found at all... to check on him. He feels bad because they are the same exact person, so he understands, and also? They have this very bizarre friend-rivalry or something.]
anyway he is (throws dart) at pecs but not actually doing anything, just moodily sitting on top of one of the sand dunes. he glances over when ryuji speaks up but doesn't say anything. ]
[God. No, that's fine. It doesn't bother him, he gets it. All he needed was to be able to see Hak at least. So he starts slowly making his way up the sand dune, having to reach out to use his hand since one of his legs is still a little bad sometimes.
Sand is slippery.]
Dude. [Once he's close enough to be heard.] You okay?
[ at least he wouldn't have to worry about the three hours he'd spend floating in a void before getting reborn or whatever it is happens here. but fine, he'll clamber back up and then stretch out a hand if ryuji needs it. ]
Yeah. He's fine. Forgot something again but that's just what the stupid river does.
[No heat, only a sort of hilariously agreeable exasperation. He reaches out at the end and gets Hak by the hand to use it to pull himself up through the sand the rest of way, and then he dusts himself off... only to plop on the sand after.]
Yeah... Yosuke, too. Think it took his voice. Weird not to hear him talkin' all the time. [HE ALSO TALKS ALL THE TIME.] So many people kept comin' out. Can't believe Shadowman came back ragin' like that.
Startin' to miss when my biggest problems were rogue A.I., passing college classes, and not havin' a girlfriend.
Yeah, that's what I said too! I'm not the tech guru. That's Futaba.
[NOT RYUJI ALSO BEING, LIKE, AY EYE? WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT UP. Idiots. They're the same boy? They're the same fucking boy. Val. I'm going to have to highlander you for real.
Anyway, he literally explained nothing for poor Hak.]
I guess... Sometimes, I wonder. It feels like somethin' is gonna yank the rug right out from under as at the finish line.
[ kills you, you're still the og because i don't play hisoka ]
If you say it, it's gonna come true. [ deadpan. he doesn't really believe it though. ] But even if it does, it just means we have to get up and try again.

at least hak has the good grace to get up and start clambering down when he sees ryuji struggling, i need to kill this man again. ]
I'll come down. [ but also: ] I'm—better.

Nah, stop. Just go back, dude. What're we gonna do, sit at the bottom and have sand bury us alive? Just take me a minute.
[Hak is pushing more sand down!!]
He come back...?

'Ay eye'?

It'll go back to being that way soon. It has to. We've been getting closer. I can feel it.

Unless you don't think you can do that?
