[ There's a long pause in the message to start with. Hopefully the number this is coming from convinces Kuzuryuu not to hang up, because Nanami does eventually start talking. ]
...Did you and Hinata-kun talk about what to tell everyone yet?
[ ... ]
...Since both of you and all the students from the other class know about me, only Tsumiki-san and Saionji-san and Tanaka-kun don't.
[ ...Hi Kuzuryuu, she's just...following up on that. Saionji already got upset about figuring out people survived and didn't tell her, and the number of people likely to slip up on the Truth About Nanami reveal is getting bigger. She's actually not sure that the first class knows it's supposed to be a secret. ]

[Admittedly, he's kind of tempted a few times. Did she dial him on accident? Or fall asleep after calling? jfc, Nanami...]
[He sighs. He should have expected this call. Actually, he probably should have been the one to make it.]
Yeah, we talked about it. Decided not to tell them anything for the time being. Figured it's best for everyone involved if they don't know about...
[EVERYTHING?? Yeah, basically everything.]
Y'know, all that shit from back home. [A beat.] That includes you. Because if we tell them that, it's just going to raise a shitton more questions that are better left alone.

[ That's probably going to happen at some point, really. A phone call with nothing except sleeping.
Sorry, Future Kuzuryuu. ]
Mm...okay, I see. Souda-kun said some awkward things outside of filters...but I don't think anyone noticed, since Tsumiki-san and Saionji-san were otherwise occupied...
[ Although Kirigiri and the others know what she is. Which is nice, in a way. She can talk about her dad and brother and sister without having to be vague, sometimes. ]
...If it's Owari-san, she'll probably yell when she comes, too, but Sonia-san probably won't, huh?

[Gdi, Nanami. You're lucky it's impossible to stay mad at you.]
We'll have to keep on him so he doesn't fuck up again. He said a lot of things he shouldn't have right in the open.
[He's silent for a moment.]
But yeah, it'll probably go something like that when the two of them show up. I can deal with Owari if need be though.
[Dear lord somebody's going to have to otherwise she'll probably just spill all of the deets in one shot.]

[ She is so lucky. ]
Threatening to use friends against one another...that sort of thing isn't something we can stand for, anyway, even without those secrets.
[ Huh. She's suddenly gone serious. ]
...It's not something we should be doing at all.
[ ...Serious Nanami's debut fades away after a second or so. ]
Mm...you two were getting along really well back then. I think you're right.
[ "Back then" being the Strawberry House on. ]

[Kuzuryuu sort of grunts in agreement. Obviously he has no qualms with threatening people but Saionji really just needed to leave it at threats and insults aimed at Souda himself. You don't drag other people into it, that's just low. Kuzuryuu, you are a gangster this should not bother you....]
Must be tough for you, having her around all the time. I'm not sure how you put up with it.
[You are a saint, Chiaki Nanami.]
But yeah, she's not so bad. Just needs someone around to keep her focused, you know?
[And you know, there are other things that they have in common.]

It's not so bad...Saionji-san can be rude, but I don't think she always means badly.
[ ...Is that praise or what. ]
She's a friend, regardless...
[ ...Is that praise or what. ]
She's a friend, regardless...
Tch.
["Why, yes, Nanami. You are right. Even though she's rude as fuck basically always, that doesn't mean Saionji is a bad person. She might even sort of be something of a friend maybe." This is probably something along the lines of what Kuzuryuu SHOULD be saying right now.]
[But instead, you get the oh-so eloquent "tch".]
So was that all or was there something else you needed?

[ She's okay with "tch". It's not an outright argument, so it's probably agreement. ]
That was all...although...
[ ... ]
Next month...around the middle of the month...
[ ...Just ask already, Nanami. ]

...If everyone could go to Goldenrod for the fourteenth...I'd like to spend the day with you all.
[ Pop quiz, do you remember her student id profile? ]
[ Pop quiz, do you remember her student id profile? ]
The fourteenth? What's the fourt--
[Oh.]
[Okay, Kuzuryuu is hardly the type to have gone through and memorized everybody's birthdays. Obviously he knows Peko's, and Hinata's was easy enough to remember since it's New Year's. But even if he doesn't remember the exact date of Nanami's birthday, he's not stupid.]
[He can see what she's getting at here.]
Yeah, sure. I think we can manage that.
[Oh.]

Yeah, sure. I think we can manage that.
In that case, I'll look forward to seeing you all then!
[ Since he's...currently nebulously hanging out with everyone else, last she checked, while Nanami and Saionji are outliers for some reason.
Well, and then of course there's Souda in the middle of nowhere, but he'll get picked up sooner or later.
...By a DR1 because the SDR2s are Really Great Friends who don't have flying types or can't use them.
And wow, look at that, she didn't have to pause at all for her response. And sounds a little excited? Considering what he knows about her, it is easy to assume this would be her first birthday party. ]

[He is, indeed, hanging out with other people. Well...Hinata and Tsumiki. And soon to be Souda but hey! That has to count for something, right? At least he hasn't relapsed to actively avoiding everyone.]
Yeah. See you then. Later, Nanami.
[...and here's to hoping that they can actually have everyone GET ALONG at this gathering, um...]
[This is gonna be fun.]
Yeah. See you then. Later, Nanami.
[...and here's to hoping that they can actually have everyone GET ALONG at this gathering, um...]
[This is gonna be fun.]
Hey, Kuzuryuu, where are ya? Apparently I'm goin' egg shoppin' with Tsumiki, and-- I'm still kinda scared, so can ya act like...
[Can you hold his hand through the thing, basically.] ...Can ya just come with us?!
[Can you hold his hand through the thing, basically.] ...Can ya just come with us?!
I-I know, but what if she brings it up? Y'know, the thing that I... Yeah, no, I can't do this on my own! I'll sing like a canary! Ya said it yourself, I crack under pressure!
[Damn it and his mouth.] We're gonna be in the hotel lobby, too! But don't leave me alone with her!
[Damn it and his mouth.] We're gonna be in the hotel lobby, too! But don't leave me alone with her!
I really don't think she will, she doesn't seem to care much about what happened back on the island. In all the time we were traveling together, the only thing she asked me was whether or not everyone made it off.
[And this was after he mistakenly let slip that she's supposed to be in a coma, whoops.]
But alright, I'm on my way now.

But alright, I'm on my way now.
I just...don't wanna take any chances, y'know? Not that I'm not tryin' to just...change and stuff, but it ain't easy!
[His paranoia is kind of what saved his ass a few times, y'know. Ugh, changing is rough. He gives a sigh of relief, but that's a long way from unrattling his nerves.]
...G-Good! I'll wait a few minutes before I go downstairs, just in case.

...G-Good! I'll wait a few minutes before I go downstairs, just in case.
[Tsumiki is going to go out of her way to hand deliver the chocolates she made for you, Kuzuryuu. It's just a small bag, nothing fancy, but it's the thought that counts, right?]
[At least he's not particularly hard to find since his schedule is fairly regular. She'll find him out on the route to the north, training Raiya the Blitzle. Kopeko the Pawniard is at his side as always, and Hiroto the Murkrow is perched on his shoulder, grooming his feathers.]
[Hiroto is the first one to notice the nurse, pecking his master in the side of his head to get his attention.]
Ah! Fuck, Hiroto, you little sh-- Tsumiki?
[What are you doing here and...wait what is that in your hand. Oh god...today's the fourteenth isn't it? If the stunned look on Kuzuryuu's face is anything to go by, he's not used to getting even friend chocolates on Valentine's.]
[Which...dear god that better be what this is or things could get really awkward really fast.]

[Which...dear god that better be what this is or things could get really awkward really fast.]
U-um. H-hello Kuzuryuu-san. [Don't worry. Despite how nervous she seems, these are indeed just friend chocolates.]
These...these are for you. [Sheepishly she holds them out, looking everywhere but at her classmate.]
These...these are for you. [Sheepishly she holds them out, looking everywhere but at her classmate.]
[Now that he's actually getting a look at the chocolate, he can tell that these are the platonic variety. Sure, he's never gotten chocolate before but he did have a little sister. It's not like he's entirely clueless as to how this works and what giri-choco looks like versus honmei-choco.]
[And while that...sort of helps, he's still kind of stuck as to what to do here. He can't very well refuse and tell her to go away because he is TRYING TO BE A BETTER AND MORE FRIENDLY PERSON. (at least as far as his classmates are concerned) But at the same time...]
[No one must know that he likes sweets.]
[No one.Except for Hinata and Peko.]
[After a moment's blank staring, he puts his hand out to take the chocolates from Tsumiki. You can do this, Kuzuryuu. Just...take the chocolates, say thanks, and she'll be on her way. Piece of cake.]
......

......
[...was this wrong? He's not really saying anything...just sort of staring. Was she wrong to make chocolates for him? Her heart sinks a little as she's tempted to apologize and take the chocolates and leave, but she really wants to give them to him. He's helped her so much when he didn't have to and clearly didn't want to...
But then he puts out his hand to take the chocolates and she brings her eyes back to him, and then at his hand.
And she...gently places the bag in his grasp, hands moving to her sides afterward.]
...th-thank you.
[Tsumiki it's a little too early to say thank you. Also isn't he the one supposed to be thanking you?]
