Leia just seems to burst, but reciprocates the hug.
"I don't know what to do... We... We have powers, we can change the world, but I still want to play Soccer, learn cooking, BE NORMAL!
I don't understand this feeling, because everytime I close my eyes, I see HIM. But... You're the ones HE kills now... I... I just can't...
I'm probably not making any sense... But... But... I'm not scared of monsters... HE'S my monster... So... When I defeat them, it just feels like I'm not scared of HIM for a second."

"We're all still just a bunch of dumbass kids in the grand scheme of things. We aren't some destined heroes of anything. We still have our own damn lives to live and that's more than okay. I wouldn't even fualt anyone if they decided to sit all this Otherworld stuff out." He holds her gently, like she's fragile, but also firmly and reassuringly.
"I can't say I know what youre talking about exactly. But whoever HE is, we won't let him hurt you. And I won't let him hurt anyone. I won't let anyone kay a fucking finger on any of you."

Tai, Leia
A sopping-wet Natsumi stands a few feet away and waits a few moments before she speaks. "He's gone, Leia. And he's not in the Otherworld, either. And monsters aren't... most of them aren't evil like him, they're just... there. But Tai's right, we aren't... we shouldn't be stuck saving the world." Natsumi stops and rubs her temples. "We are... um... look, you know your Soul Key feeds off of emotions for its magic stuff, right? You need to do stuff like play soccer and stuff and calm down sometimes. Because right now you... are not OK. And sooner or later your key's just going to stop working. You were willing to risk yourself and your friends for a shoe... And you've been into the Otherworld I don't know how many times in the last week. It's dangerous. For your soul. You need to stop and breathe and just... do something fun for a few days."

"O... Okay..."
Leia seems to end the hug, trying to wipe her tears off her face even though she is still sobbing.
"I... I... I will rest... I will try relaxing... Th... Thank you... I... I will go to sleep now... No... No Otherworld unless completely necessary... I'd just like to have more details on what's going on... I... I want to understand."

Tai, Leia
"I just don't want you getting yourself hurt because you're... um..." Natsumi trails off and shakes some of the water out of her hair. "Um... I know! If you want to be helpful without overworking your key, why don't you maybe see if you can find some of the other portals we haven't found yet? And you'd look really good reporting that at the meeting Wednesday!"
"Oh yeah... We found one at the, uh... Was it the train station or the bus station?" Freya calls out from the docks.

"Right. Meeting. Wednesday." Tai stretches his arms a bit. "We'll get through this bullshit and I'll make damn sure no one gets hurt."

"I'll... I'll think about it tomorrow... Last time I found a portal, we almost got our world's colors stolen..."

Leia, Tai
Natsumi groans. "Leeeeiiiia. You know those two things aren't related... You know that didn't happen because you found the portal." She pauses. "But maybe you're right. You should probably try to get some sleep. You must be exhausted."

"Hell, I know I am." He eyes Mattea.

Leia, Tai
Mattea scoffs at Tai. "I'm not going to apologize for that."
Natsumi waves to Leia as she leaves. "Bye, Leia-person..." she says, probably too quiet to even be heard. She turns around and walks back to the dock as if in a trance.
Freya shakes her head. "Hey, Nat, where are the towels?'
"Didn't bring any," she says. Without slowing down she walks off the dock and drops into the river.
"...Nat? You OK?" Kiran asks.
He's answered by a few bubbles appearing on the surface.

Tai's eyes go wide. He dashes to the dock. "This better not be your idea of a joke or I swear to fuck!"
He jumps in after Natsumi and will look for her and try to grab her.

Tai
As Tai reaches the end of the docks and jumps, Natsumi breaches the surface and takes a deep breath. She looks up just in time to twist out of the way and get showered by Tai's splash. He pops back up quickly and finds himself staring at her face. Natsumi's wet hair has formed a mask that hides most of her face.
Mattea takes a seat on the bench on the dock. "So... Tai. Who were you swearing to fuck?"
Natsumi ignores Mattea. "...Hello, Tai-person. I'm fine. I just wanted a minute alone. But thank you."

Tai's face is extremely unamused. "There's a minute alone and then there's acting fucking crazy!"
Tai exits the water, thoroughly soakes. His face is very annoyed. As he passes Mattea he gives her a nasty glare. "Not a word." And he begins the miserable trek home.

Tai
"C-crazy!? You... I..." Natsumi trails off as you leave.
Mattea intercepts you on the way out and falls in at your side. She rummages through her purse for a moment then produces a small towel and holds it out to you without a word.
Leia
Opening up about everything made you feel a lot tougher...
