My brother was the one who survived.

[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.]

( tl;dr action for house 40 )

[A little while later, when Naoi has his anger and tears under.. decent control, he opens his journal]

Yuzuru Otonashi is gone. [Then he closes the journal.  He has nothing left to say.  There is nothing else to say.

His best friend is gone and that's that.]

[Within the past week, Naoi's household has grown by two roommates, his best friend Otonashi and that stupid little girl, Yotsuba, so it's been quite the week for him.  As happy and thrilled as he is to have his favorite person ever here in Luceti, that brat causes a problem.  With her around he can't cling to Otonashi as much as he'd like!  She keeps getting in the way and beating him to the punch.

This needs to be dealt with.  Now.  Whether Otonashi likes it or not, this girl has to go... but of course she can just mysteriously disappear.  Can't have his best buddy thinking Naoi just gave her the boot!  Then he would be mad at him and that's a very bad thing.  So when he opens his journal, he puts up a filter]

[Voice - Filtered away from Otonashi and Yotsuba]

Does anyone here know how to get rid of a pest?  Not of the insect variety either. [If she was, Naoi would have crushed her by now, which is still tempting to do]

You see, she arrived at our apartment just the other day and now she won't leave.  I would like to get rid of her as soon as possible.  I don't care about how the deed is done either, as long as it's subtle.  Any suggestions?

[After that, he simply shuts his journal and wonders over to where ever Otonashi is in the apartment to go and hang with him like the coolest bro ever.]

[Voice]

That experiment a few days ago was quite entertaining if I do say so myself.  So many of you made a fool of yourselves and I didn't even have to lift a finger to assist in it!  This place isn't as dull as I thought it would be. [He laughs]

If only those events could have lasted longer.  [SIGH it was so fun trolling people] What do you all do for fun around here when you aren't being turned into a pack of idiots? 

[Action]

[Though Naoi arrived here a few weeks ago, he's still adjusting and taking in the fact that he's alive (?) again.

But why here of all places?  It makes no sense.  Did God not want to send him back to live on Earth and possibly see Otonashi again?   In a way he almost even misses Hayato, his twin brother, even though he always stole the spot light in the family.  After he disappeared from the school he was hoping to go home and redeem his life…make it better than the first.  Actually DO something with his life instead of sitting on his ass like a failure.

Not that it matters anymore.  He was sent here, and there’s nothing he can do about it, might as well make the best of it.  So for most of the day, as he wonders off to the library or goes to the battle dome to just watch people fight from above, he'll often just....space out and stare at whatever is in front of his eyes, thinking about all of this.]
