Time: Mid afternoon
Warnings: Cursing, wishy-washiness, kissy faces, and other violence.

Soma had not moved much in the intervening hours, only sitting there dumbstruck. Mina was in the city. Not only that, but she was in the same hotel he was in. This was a wonderful turn of events, not least because he had begun to doubt his own sanity.

Now that the hour was growing later, he was starting to feel edgy. He'd started fidgeting, not certain if he should remain with Hayate and Himeno, to whom he owed so much, or if he should seek out a second table. This was absurd, in truth, because he knew that without an anchor he would have made a run for it. He didn't want Mina to see him like this, not again; not after what had nearly happened last time.

He still could not bring himself to look at any of the citizens of the city for more than a moment; their brightness served only to remind him of his own dark heart. A heart not worthy of... what? What exactly was it he felt himself unworthy of? The demons that tormented him constantly laughed but would come forth with nothing more.

Soma's actions over the past several hours since breakfast had worried Hayate a bit. The "She's here" from earlier made him assume that the friend Soma had been looking for the previous night was nearby.

He still wasn't quite sure where to begin, but playing things as they happened would have to be something he learned along the way in this place, apparently. At the moment, he was keeping an eye on the journals--mostly the message board--considering all the information being posted on it. At least this was an easier method than word-of-mouth for getting emergencies across and he had at least some bearing on what was going on.

However, even with the distraction of 'information' on the boards, Hayate had to hope that Soma's friend would show up soon and hopefully Soma would calm down.
