Seventh Fall - [Voice/Action]
[Though he wouldn’t say it out loud, Naoi knew something was wrong.
Yuri had been gone for over a month now. Missions generally didn’t last that long—at least from what he’d seen and experienced himself. And Yuri of all people wouldn’t allow them to last that long. As much as the two of them don’t get along, daily threats in practically all of their conversations, he knows her and how she is. She’s a leader; she pushes forward and gets things done quickly, especially when she has a house of idiots (not including God and Otonashi of course) to get back to before everyone kills each other.
But today he understands why things have been so strange.
As he walks past Yuri’s bedroom, her door is slightly open. He normally wouldn’t care and think much of it but that’s not how it was left and there’s something different about the inside of the room from what he can see. He pushes open the door all the way and…
…It’s empty, with the exception of a few things.
Ah. So that explains it all.
He’s been through two similar instances like this (when Otonashi and Hinata first left) so he doesn’t even need to question what’s going on. In a way though, he’s disappointed that she’s gone. They may not have been “friends” but Yuri had been with him here the longest and he respected her and she understood him in some ways the others didn't, though it may not have shown very well at all just by looking and listening to them. It was a silent understanding and respect.
But her leaving also reminds him that he has yet to do anything with this “second chance” he’s been given and could be sent home any day himself with nothing accomplished. He’s come to realize that his lifestyle here has reflected his childhood almost perfectly, and that alone is enough to scare him. So after reading his letter and moving some of the guns she left behind to his room, he decides it’s time for him to change that.
Housemates, expect a knock at your bedroom doors. God has a letter for everyone and Yotsuba even gets an extra present from Naoi himself. Just a little something he needs to get rid of and move on.
When he’s done distributing letters and explaining things to everyone in the house, he opens up his journal to make an entry]
Yuri Nakamura has returned to the world of the miserable and the dead. She’s gone. She left behind letters for Mr. White Knight [Yes he’s referring to you Hisoka. You better understand otherwise you get no letter!!!], Sokka, Hayate, Shinji, Rin, Tsuzuki, Ange and Isamu. Come by house forty to pick them up if you want them, God doesn’t have time to personally search for you all.
[Later in the day, anyone is free to catch him at the battle dome, setting up a scenario or in his chamber practicing shooting strange blobby shadows on what looks like school grounds with the guns he took from Yuri’s room.]

[action]
Um, yeah... My name's Shinji. [He pauses for a moment, and then he adds:] Sorry I didn't say I was coming first, I just didn't want to trouble you.
[Even if Yuri is the one that left the letters, he can't help apologizing anyway. It's just what he does.]
[action]
He recognizes the name as one of the ones he listed and walks away from the door, gesturing for him to follow] Handing out these letters is bothersome in itself so I can't say that it really matters that you didn't tell me. God was expecting all of you anyways.
[action]
[action]
He leads the other boy to his room and shuffles through the letters that he had placed on his desk until he comes across the one with Shinji's name on it and hands it to him] Were you a part of the SSS Yuri formed here?
[action]
Um, yeah, I was. [There's a nod as he accepts the letter from him. He looks down at it, elaborating:] She kinda forced me into it, but I think she meant well.
[He really believed that, too. She was weird sometimes, but... not unkind, either. She had good intentions. He never doubted that.]
[action]
I can't say that's a surprise. [The forced into part at least. Granted a lot of the SSS members joined willingly in thee afterlife but there were a few who needed a push.] Though God wouldn't consider her like punishment games and diversions to have "meant well".
[Naoi no you know she meant well and just had a cruel sense of humor. And he's not innocent himself considering he once hypnotized Ooyama to have him practically commit suicide as a diversion... ]
[action]
[There's a pause as he tries to find the words for it. He looks at the letter again, curiosity finally getting the best of him, and he reads the words that Yuri had left for him.
Shinji's eyes widen a little. When he continues, his voice is much quieter.]
...just a little weird.
[Her words were kind, but it hurt. It always hurt more than he expected it to.]
