After Larkin explained he was agreeing with her, Saya said nothing and only reacted to his next taunting comment. Her reaction wasn't bad even if she was deep down a bit offended at the thought of being considered a bad guy. It wasn't as if Larkin knew her that well though, so when he said something like that it didn't really matter. "I'll let you figure out that one," Saya replied with a wink. She would've liked to think she was still one of the good guys, but from the eyes of others--such as players who participated in the game--she probably looked like one of the enemies.
Although Larkin ignored much of her commentary and found it boring, Saya didn't even notice. She was too busy looking for a bag to wrap her old kimono up in. Once she had secured her other outfit in a bag, she responded to Larkin's explanation about Casters. "Huh, well I definitely don't have Casters where I come from. They sound interesting though." She smirked at his comment of haggling and shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe it's worth a try, but the boss seems pretty strict about what we're allowed to do in the afterlife. You'll have to come up with a pretty good plan to convince him to give you your powers back."
Saya smiled. "You think it's funny I'd find you anything but straight? Well, I find it funny that you think I could be one of the bad guys. You don't know me very well and I don't know you. Assuming things about strangers is only natural. Don't take it as offensive, I was just making a guess. I've met some pretty cool people who are gay or straight. In my eyes, it doesn't really matter at all."
Ignoring Larkin when he defended being straight again, Saya gestured to the door. "Yeah, I'm ready to go. Let's head out and be careful. There's a good chance a lot of noise are still outside." Gripping her One Love Magnum pin, Saya shot Larkin a grin before boldly heading out the door. Whether he was the type of gentleman who liked to open the door for a lady or not, Saya wasn't going to wait up for him. They needed to get to Hachiko.
Meanwhile, at Hachiko, Joshua ceased his beams of energy when he saw Teresa and her group approaching them. "Oh thank goodness, she made it. But wait, where's San--" The Composer paused, eyes widening when he saw Teresa was carrying Mr. H on her back. "Sanae!" he exclaimed, rushing over toward the group just as they were landing. He skidded to a stop in front of Teresa, moving to help her lower him to the ground. "What the hell happened!? Who did this to you!?" he gasped, obvious worry on his face.
Mr. H simply grinned, hoping to show to Joshua that what had happened wasn't a big deal. "Eh, it ain't a big deal, bossman. I used a little too much of my own energy when I took out some noise. I'll be fine after a little rest." The Producer offered him a thumbs up, hoping to solidify that he was all right.
Joshua scowled and gripped Sanae by the hair on the top of his head, pulling it.
"Hey! Ouch let me--"
"We'll talk more about this later," Joshua grumbled, letting Sanae go after a moment. He ran a hand through his own hair afterwards, finally sparing a silent glance toward Teresa, Arya, and Coco.
"Ugh, well this is a fine mess we're in. Any minute now the other reapers will be showing up here, seeking answers... I don't really know what happened either. I'll need some time to figure this out and to keep things calm..."
After a minute of thinking, Joshua's expression calmed. He thought of a reasonable lie to tell everyone. Mr. H was the only one who would see through it, but the others would buy it until he came up with the truth.
"You weren't supposed to get hurt during a noise attack drill, Sanae. You need to be more careful next time," he calmly stated, bringing a frown to Mr. H's face. He glared at Joshua before hesitantly nodding.
"Yeah, I'll be more careful next time..."
Coco smiled upon hearing these things, easily believing Joshua. "Oh! So that's what happened? Like, okay, I guess that makes sense," she said with a nod.
Joshua glanced toward Teresa. "We're all going to wait here until other reapers start to show up so I can explain to them what just happened... The only thing I can't really explain is how you got hurt, Sanae, and how... well... he appeared," Joshua added, gesturing to Hurley who was standing near the statue of Hachiko behind him.
After looking at Teresa, he glanced to Arya as well. "And I hope you have been keeping yourself out of too much trouble..."
From a distance, Saya and Larkin began to approach. Saya pointed toward the group, a smile on her face. "Well, lookie there! The Composer and his crew is already waiting for us. It looks like we're the first ones here too. We weren't late after all." Saya chuckled. "We should've gone shopping with our extra time."
