[And there's Roxy, in a simpler outfit. She would be the player.]

[ He is hesitant after the last encounter... ]

Roxy? What are you doing all the way up here?

Playing.

Why here? Nobody can hear you.

[ SO, YOU KNOW THAT WATER THAT SCREAMED LONELINESS AND SADNESS? GUESS WHO IS COMING BLASTING ON IN HERE?

that's right. a very colorful and bright Trickster Cascade, leaving a sparkle trail of water as he flies up to you. his hair is now a bright blue color, a candied piece of mackerel stuck in his hair, and possibly the brightest smile you've ever seen on his face.

worries? WHAT ARE THOSE? let's not have any of that! ]

RIIIIIIIN! THERE YOU ARE!

[ UM WTF

But wait, there's no way Haru could've gotten past the water... ]

—Haru?

[ YEAH, ABOUT THAT. he's going to grab both of your hands and smile brighter ]

OF COURSE! PRETTY GREAT ROOM, ISN'T IT? ALL THIS WATER!

[ at least he's still up on the water bullshit, right? ]

THE VIEW'S AMAZING!

[ Why are you touching me? No, WHY ARE YOU SMILING? I mean, I've only ever seen you smile like... once. Ever. And definitely not here. What the fuck is going on? ]

Haru... what the actual fuck? What happened to you? And why do you look like you fell into a vat of cotton candy?

[ BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS WATER AND NOTHING HURTS. that and candy. let the sugar intoxicate your soul ]

NOTHING HAPPENED! I'M JUST HERE TO CHEER YOU UP. COME ON, LET'S GO FOR A SWIM. THAT'LL MAKE YOU FEEL GREAT!

[ someone is tugging on your hands, let's get down from this pyramid, shall we? ]

[ There is definitely some resistance since someone is actually considering whether he's dealing with heart game fuckery right about now... ]

Y-You're here to what? And since when can you swim?

[ come, come, he wants to tug you down toward the water and he might be getting forceful if you don't start moving ]

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IN HERE! JUST PUT YOUR MIND TO IT. EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. LET'S SWIM TOGETHER, RIN! THAT'LL BE FUN, RIGHT?

[ It is... so hard to resist that call. He doesn't even know why. It's like something deep inside him just recognizes those words. Like a summons. Even if it is very likely that he's dealing with some bullshit illusion meant to fuck with his head. But those hands grasping his feel... so real. How can they feel this real if they're just a mirage? But... he has to stay here. He has to find out which part of Roxy this is. Has to find Nix and help her...

But if Haru can really swim here, swim and be truly happy... ]

Haru... we can't... mess around right now. We have to find Roxy and get out of here...

[ Even as the words leave him, their conviction is severely lacking. Something about denying Haru just feels wrong. ]

[ tugtugs some more, trying to tempt him down to the water. yes, give in to the feelings of Haru and water. don't deny yourself ]

IT'S NOT MESSING AROUND! I WANT TO MAKE YOU HAPPY. SWIMMING TOGETHER WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY!

[ Something about that doesn't sound right... And the resistance is back, as is a more troubled look in his eyes. ]

You barely remember me.

[ no, give in to the good feelings. give in to the happy vibes of friendship and water. give in to this shiny version of Haru. he pulls some more, but face gets a little closer to yours, eyes sparkling with excitement ]

THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T ENJOY THINGS TOGETHER! I JUST WANT TO SEE YOU SMILE!

[ He half-freezes. Oh god why are you... why are you so close? Oh god. No. No. This is fucked up. This isn't how Haru actually feels. Not now. It isn't. Either it's not Haru or, even worse, something has seriously messed with his head. One thing's definitely sure, whatever's going on, it's a trap. And something in this heart is using Haru. Using him against Sakura.

He feels the aftershocks of the loneliness that surrounds this place, the waves of it he had sped through to reach this area, as he pulls back sharply, trying to free his hands. His gaze hardens. ]

Haru would never say something like that. Stop messing with him!

[ yeah, those hands are mine and not letting go of them. at least not one of them. since he's like this, he magically has access to his phone again because he wants to shove it in your face and prove to you that he's actually Haru! ]

SEE? IT'S ME! YOU JUST NEED TO RELAX AND CHEER UP!

[ His eyes widen at that phone and (I'm assuming ) the familiar message exchange displayed and his resistance falters a bit... ]

Fine. Fine, it's you. But that doesn't mean you're not being fucked with right now. You're the one who kept going on about how you were going to do whatever it takes to help, right?

[ tucks the phone away and then bright nod, and oops, that hand is his again. pulling, pulling ]

I AM HELPING! I'M SPREADING HAPPINESS. YOU SAID THAT BEFORE! COME ON, COME ON. LET'S GO DOWN TO THE WATER.

[ Well, yeah, he did say that before but something about this still seems...

Then again, it's not encouraging anything bad for Roxy. It's not like Roxy's a swimmer. Maybe giving her a better outlet for her feelings instead of her virtual escapism could be a good thing...

Though that doesn't mean that Haru isn't still acting high as a fucking kite. Even if those hands feel so comforting around his. And that eager smile... ]

... If I swim with you, you have to tell me what happened, okay?

[ seems even more excited at the agreement! if that's possible. at least now he won't have to bodily haul you down or push you down the pyramid like he was planning. except now he's dragging more insistently ]

SURE, SURE. LET'S GET IN THE WATER FIRST!

[ I'm only going with this in hopes of figuring out what in the fresh fuck is up with you. ]

[ NAH. you're coming with me because you wanna see me swim again and have mutual waterboners together. dragging you down into the water and because you're with me, for now, the water is safe and wonderful and that loneliness isn't going to be touching us! FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC ]

[ That's only 50 percent true okay. But um wow, he's pretty sure this water was a lot more unwelcoming earlier. No really, what the fuck is going on? ]

[ magic! as temporary as this okay feeling might be. he is going to lure you more into the water, still holding your hands. let's be totally not gay and just tread water while looking at each other. completely innocent feelings here, right? totally ]

ISN'T THIS GREAT!
