Returns

Who: Seto and open | Seto and Ren
What: Seto has returned from his canon update. Time to find everyone again.
When: Backdated to the 9th
Where: Around Camp Base
Warnings: Massive spoilers for Fragile Dreams and the epilogue manga. I'll update as needed!


Camp Base - Let's dance to joy division and celebrate the irony

[It feels like a repeat of events that happen whenever he falls asleep: something happens.

Seto fell asleep and dreamed of a school and a time he did not belong to. He fell asleep and Ren went missing, ran away because of him and his reaction to her eventual death. He fell asleep in a world that was composed of silence and bodies of other children.

He falls asleep and--

And he's...back. Blinking at the bright sun, the sound of waves filling his ears as Seto's memories rush to catch up to him. Shiro, Tokyo Tower, Shin's memories and Ren---

He vanished without a word. He has no idea how long it's been. Ren and Crow. They're...

Seto was at the Storyteller's temple but he doesn't stop running until he reaches Camp Base again. He's out of breath but forces himself to keep running until he finds Ren and Crow, calling their names.

Someone can try to stop him, on his run to Camp Base and through it, but they'll need to keep up with his run. Or just tackle him. Either or.]



Locked to Ren - Everything is going wrong but we're so happy

[Once everything has died down and night has come, Seto hasn't quite gone to bed yet. Things keep happening when he sleeps and he's slightly afraid that he'll disappear again if he does.

It's a silly fear, the same kind of fear he had once he had been pulled out of the Water, but he doesn't want to vanish again. It's not so much that he hated his own world - there were a lot of pretty things there despite it being destroyed and he wouldn't have met anyone if he didn't live there - it's just that Seto doesn't want to leave Ren and Crow alone again.

So he goes for a little walk. Just so he could find a good spot for some star-gazing. Unsurprisingly Ren's tagging along and he does not mind it at all. Any time he can spend with her is even more precious now.

Any and all time...all that she has left.

If Seto's gripping Ren's hand a little too hard, he's sorry.]

[Somewhere along the way, there was an unasked question she inadvertently answered. That's what it sounds like and she has to wonder what it could've been.

Not that it matters. Because he takes her words to heart-listens and says okay like it's the only thing he needed to hear.

So she smiles, clutches his hand a bit tighter and points up the sky-

Look at all those pretty stars.

It makes you happy when you look at them, right? It makes you smile?

[The stars in particular, but it's a roundabout way of confirming what she needs to know. Because at the end of the day, this place is for him and she needs to make sure he's happy.]

[It's easy to see with her own two eyes-the way he flits around camp and his conversations with the people who inhabit the island. It would be impossible for a person like him, who spent so much time searching for someone to be with, to not be happy on a sprawling island booming with life.

She has to make sure, somehow, he never gets sent back to the place. That he never disappears because of the island's influence-he has to stay. And if that means holding his hand this tight for the next ten years, then so be it.

And as they quietly watch the stars together, she leans over and rests her head against his shoulder.

He's finally back.
