(Note: Terry gave Kido his phone. Bought his own flipphone on 8/26!)

He has a stall set up in the market street for locating things. Feel free to thread it out with an inbox action thread or handwave it!

Ahaha! It's okay. Sometimes it's good to just space out and not think about anything.

[ Which... is mostly what he's been trying to do. It used to come so easily for him - he didn't think of things deeply, not until RO leaves him-- leaves Hirajiro. In fact, this started ever since he learned of Terry's 'death'. ]

That reminds me, my groupmate back home-- Reiji-kun always says he's meditating, but he really is just sleeping. He's sleeping like half the day away, don't you think he's like a cat?

[ He chuckles quietly. ]

Even then, he always gets good grades, I don't know how he does it...

[overstrain]

But grades aren't everything, right?

[ As expected from someone who seems pretty book dumb. Terry keeps the smile on his face. It's not forced anymore. ]

Sometimes I wish I could sleep like that... but I'd probably get restless.

[tantantaaan]

Mm! It isn't!! At least I'm not the last in... um, our grade ranking!

[ He didn't say he wasn't last in his own class... ]

Do you always not sleep well, Rii-tan?

[overstrain]

I get enough sleep, but sometimes it's... hard. I can't tell whether I want to stay asleep or awake, but I know I need to stay awake, out and about.

[ Sometimes he doesn't feel like he has a reason to get up in the mornings, but he goes to avoid the recurring nightmares of his friends dying repeatedly (haha). ]

[ Leon stares at Terry, carefully listening to what he said. And yet... ]

I'm not sure I really get it... is there a reason why you need to stay awake?

[overstrain]

I've been having nonstop nightmares lately.

[ Even if it breaks the previous happy atmosphere, he might as well come out with it. He knows Leon would appreciate it better if he was truthful about it anyway. ]

So it feels better to stay awake and do things... sleep doesn't really feel restful anymore.

[ Hence why his eyes looked really tired. ]
