Oh, it's nothing major! [These are words that bode so well.] I was just talking to Hermione, and we thought, 'cause rationing was kinda rough on everyone - doesn't it make sense to celebrate that it's over with for now? Not a huge thing, but just, like, with friends. ...And food. People always go for food.
Can't let it all get soaked if this rain doesn't let up, right? And where else would we get tables and everything on short notice, too? ...C'mon, please?
[He's only going to get higher and higher pitched until he hears a yes!]
Yes! [Just like that, his whining disappears under a burst of effusive glee.] You're the best, Kanji! I'll call you in the afternoon to get things in order, so make sure you're ready by then - [But almost as suddenly, he seems to calm down a bit again.] Oh, one other thing.
You spoken to Naoto in the past couple days? She wasn't picking up at all, and normally she's not that shy about saying she's busy... I wondered if it was just me.
[Because, okay, he might have given her one or two reasons to ignore just his calls by now.]
[By sheer dint of effort, he keeps his cracking up almost completely silent.] Heeey, don't get all worked up about it, I think it's cool! Gotta make good use of our time while we're young, right?
You'll do great! I'm rooting for you, man. Let me know how it goes! ...Oh, and don't forget about tomorrow!
[It's unlikely that Kanji's head exploding at the other end of the line could physically knock Yosuke's bracelet off or anything similar, but rather than risk it, he hangs up as fast as his finger will let him.]

[Like certain other recent celebrations.]
Yeah. That'd be cool.
[So why does he still have a sinking feeling about this?]
no subject
[That. That might be why.]

What sorta "stuff" are we talkin'?

[Guess.]
I'm asking Souji too! And I went and stabbed myself with a needle the other day for you!

Didn't say I wouldn't do it, man.

N-no... I've been meanin' to call her, but... just, uh, haven't gotten to it...

[Yep, volume's going up.]
Y-yeah! I ain't gonna hold back! I ain't gonna... uh.
