[The constant knocking on Nanashi's door is probably from a super impolite person, or maybe a Jehovah's Witness, or-]

Nanashi, it's me!

[-or a small child who's here to see demons.]

[Nanashi open's the door and Shinji's going to be greeted by the smell of demon poop. ]

Hey, Shinji!!! It stinks here. Are you okay with that?

[Hopefully he won't mind the stench. The windows are open and the place is being ventilated as they speak.]

Bleccch. You weren't kidding about the poop.

[As gross as it is, Shinji's still going to come inside. Just while holding his nose to try to save himself from the stench.]

I don't lie about these things!!!

[Nanashi closes the door and pulls up a pistol. He points it towards the demon who's just flinging dirt in the corner.]

So this is it.

[That sure is a demon bird over there, but also-]

Why do you have a gun?

[Are we not going to talk about this??]

[BECAUSE SHE IS NOT TYPING OUT ALL HER ANGER, HE BETTER PICK UP THE PHONE AS SOON AS HE SEES THE CALL, and the moment he does he gets greeted with:]

What the hell did I tell you?! Did you actually listen to a single fucking word I said, or did it all go in one ear and out the other?

[HE'S DEAD..and busted. Sorry, onee-chan. ]

I heard what you fucking said! Will you just hear me out? A group of thugs were picking on me and I didn't start it.

Things got out of hand. They were ready to kill me and I fought back.

[BECAUSE WHY WOULD HE LET HIMSELF GET GANGED UP LIKE THAT? Rose would know that staying still isn't an option.]

What, so they just felt like attacking you out of nowhere? Where were you even at when this happened? Alleys again? Did the cops take your side on it, or is that why you're not going to school right now?

[SINCE WHEN DID NANASHI EVEN HAVE A KNIFE ON HIM, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!!!!! Ultimately, she is genuinely glad and relieved that he didn't get hurt or worse, but GOOD LORD.

"Don't get in trouble," she says.
"I'll be fine," Nanashi says.
AND THEN OF COURSE THE WORST POSSIBLE SHIT HAPPENS.]

[Nanashi's home early because there's no school and he promised he wouldn't run away anymore.]

Hey, Jouhei! We can spend the day together. It's been a while since we've done something like this.


[that's cuz he was being a lil shit, BUT OKAY ENOUGH OF THAT. LET'S GO SEE SOME CATS.]

[ it's definitely because nanashi was being a LIL SHIT but it's okay. as long as nanashi doesn't run off again, it's all good. jouhei lowers his phone and looks over at the garbage child ]

What do you want to do?

Let's go see the animals today!

[Jouhei's really smart. It's not easy to get into a vet clinic. He worked hard to get there and Nanashi admires him for it.]

I could learn a thing or two from you while I'm at it.

[Are you ready to face the wrath of Rose..............

Except underneath all the wrath, there's a lot of concern too. She's genuinely glad he's okay, and frankly, she's beyond glad that this punk kid is still the same punk kid she knows. After everything that's happened, it didn't seem like there'd be anyone she knew left.

Still, that doesn't mean any of that relief shows up on her face when she sees Nanashi in prison.]

I can't believe you're actually here.

[ No WHy. It's nice getting visitors at this hour since Nanashi's been feeling lonely lately. He stiffens up when he sees Rose because WOW HE'S DEAD.]

Yeah, guess I messed up bad somewhere and landed here. So....

[He kinda just stares at Rose suspiciously from where he's standing.]

Do you wanna ask me anything, Rose?

[His face when: She's got 1203005 questions and 0 fucks to give.]

What the fuck do you think? [COME ON NANASHI, DON'T ASK DUMB QUESTIONS!!] For starters, you "guessed" you messed up bad somewhere? What the hell did you even do?

It's a long story? I got into a fight with yakuza assholes. They broke my legs then cops caught me. Couldn't run away or ask for help so...

[Here he is. In Prison.]

Yeah, sorry..

[RIP]
