Hey! It's me. [And he's clearly trying to sound as chipper as he usually does.] Just figured I hadn't caught up with you in a little while, so... What's up? Everything good?
Huh? Ohhh, yeah, that's right, I didn't call you then either... [Unlike his sheepish laugh, his little head-scratch here isn't audible, but it might as well be.] You noticed? I woke up [or something] a couple days ago now. But all's well that ends well, right!?
[...Actually, in light of certain mass dreams, that might not be the best wording.]
Well, not ending as in... You know what I mean. So how's things?
Ya mean ...oh. Hadn't seen ya since before everythin' went down, so I was ... startin' to wonder what was up. And to tell ya the truth... [He sighs.] I've done better.
You're right there, at least. [And hardly ever as subdued as that, he thinks to himself.]
Honestly, I dunno either... Like, all or nothing is fine by me, it's just - there's us, and then there's dragging everyone in. Something about it doesn't feel right.
Right? So it's not just me. Then I start wondering, why are we fine with it? And what can we really do, in the end? If we're just in this because we want to say we did something...
[A little late, he remembers that he wasn't trying to make the atmosphere heavier, and that Kanji actually has the context if not the acuity to pick up on something that could be really awkward for him. Dammit. Never mind.]
Eh, but that's getting off the point. Hey, if you haven't been up to much, you wanna hang out later?
Just like that? Heh, you really aren't busy lately. Cool! Then I'll just swing by your place. I mean, mine is, uh... W-Well, see you in a bit!
[There's stuff on his mind, but it can wait. ...Though somehow he's getting the feeling that Kanji wouldn't mind if it didn't, and that's new. Well, he was out a lot longer than he thought.]
As I said. All I'm doin' right now is sewing, so...
[So what does it matter if he wastes a bit of time doing it? He's not sitting on any commissions, it's just cute crap for his own hoard, so it feels a bit ... irrelevant.
And he totally understands why Yosuke wouldn't want him coming over there.]

Or is it just the atmosphere lately? Because man, I feel you there.

...Doesn't feel right to be sittin' around sewing with that going down, ya know?

[He hesitates.]
... Hey, what do you think about it? The whole... fight or flight thing the big boss god was harping on.

[The last time he'd been this quiet was the day they'd returned to see him wrecked and bruised.]
But we've never run from the fight before. And I don't wanna start now.

Sure, man. Could use a change of scenery.
