001 ▒ [action→voice] ▒ new perspective

[Hello Luceti.

On the branch of a tree somewhere in the forest, a raven haired boy lounges fearlessly, almost carelessly. He's already replaced the white pants with his own attire, though regrettably, his trinkets and teapot are no where to be found.

In his lap lies the open journal. He'd been studying it for the past half hour, trying to figure out what it's for, and only managed to gather that it is indeed a journal of some sort.

Crow's relatively calm about the new attachments to his body, but what's really bugging him is that the last thing he remembers--

--well.

The last thing he remembers is the sound of a certain human's voice. He smiles distantly as he taps the journal, not finding it strange at all to talk to himself.]

So what, this is what happens when you die? Laaame.

[Today Seto has been walking around the village, meeting new people and just taking a nice tour really. But as soon as he hears Crow's voice, he stops completely, even his heart feels as if it stopped for a moment.

There was no way...Was there? Seto doesn't risk the chance and quickly opens his journal, his hands shaking as he does]

C-Crow?! I-Is that you?!

[Crow thinks he's hearing things at first--but really, is he even capable of an imagination? Let alone an overactive one.

He realizes that the familiar voice is coming from the book in his lap, and whether that makes any sense at all or not, he's got nothing to lose by assuming.]

Seto?

[Seto takes a moment to breathe again, he was holding his breath for a while there. How is Crow here? He did bury him himself, didn't he? Crow died in his arms...right? In either case, just hearing his voice makes him happy.

His voice starts to crack a little as tears form in his eyes]

C-Crow...it is you.

[Crow can almost hear Seto tearing up. What's he so upset about?]

Looks like you recognized me again. Heh.

[Wince.]

Yeah, it's me.

[He manages to let out a slight laugh at that, though he's crying now]

Y-Yeah... [He takes another deep breath to relax himself, serious business time] W-Where are you, Crow? I'll come find you.

[He wants to tell Seto to stop that crying. Nice try with the laughter, but Crow knows better.]

Dunno. I've been sitting in a tree since I came to.

[The question of where he is is a little less important than why he's not still shutdown somewhere. It's possible that someone found him and changed his batteries... or whatever it was that occurred. Maybe they were recharged or something.]

[The question of how Crow is alive is still nagging at Seto's mind, but finding him first is way more important.]

In a tree...What do you see around you? Can you hear people or water? [He's pretty determined to try and find him as fast as possible]

There are people here? As in, more humans?

[It's a big change from a post-apocalyptic Japan, okay. But not to detract too far from the point,]

I hear water though, might be a river nearby. Where are you? Maybe I can find you first!

[With that, he hops off of the branch with the white pants folded under his arm and the journal in hand.]

[He chuckles a bit, remembering when Crow said something like that when they first met] Yeah! There are a lot of people here, a whole village!

River, got it. [Before he starts walking, he blinks] Well I'm at the plaza in the village right now...

[Plaza in the village, huh? He's not particularly excited about a whole village full of people, to be honest, but if it makes Seto happy...]

I'll walk along the river. Maybe we can meet halfway?

Okay! I'll be there in a second!

[And off he goes, he's not running...well he kinda is. He is pretty excited to see his best friend again. Especially after what he last went through with him]

You better hurry up, then. [He teases.]

[Now he's walking along the river, the current running in the opposite direction. He looks to the water every few steps, at his reflection, and at the reflection of other things. Huh. Pretty.]

[He laughs a little] I'm coming, I'm coming!

[It only takes a moment for Seto to reach the river and he runs along side it, keeping an eye out for Crow. A few minutes later, a figure comes into view though he doesn't slow down until he confirms that it's him.

His eyes begin to water as he stops running, taking this chance to breathe] C-Crow...Crow! [He runs towards Crow as fast as he can, somehow without tripping, and throws himself at him, hugging him tightly. He sobs into his shirt as he clings to his best friend]

[It's not long before Seto comes into view, the sight of him running and looking so eager to see Crow stirs up a lot of --feelings? That wouldn't make sense, though, right?

But truthfully, the last time they were together, Crow hadn't been able to see Seto at all. He'd lamented not seeing him, merely relying on the sound of his voice. He wasn't even able to move, actually.

But now he can see the relief in Seto's (once again, tearful, ugh) eyes, he can feel him clinging, everything's perfect.

He brings his arms around the sobbing frame latched onto him, genuinely smiling.]

Long time no see, buddy.

[Seto feels familiar arms wrap around him which only makes him bury his face into Crow's jacket. He can actually feel him...so this isn't a dream. Crow is here right now. With him. And he's never going to let him go again.

He finally manages to look up at Crow, tears still spilling down his cheeks as he lets out a small choked gasp for air] I-I thought I'd never see you again, C-Crow...
