[ Did he remember, because she sure did. Sakura goes to find him around dinnertime aaaaaand sure enough she's got food with her. It's her default state of being at this point. ]
Hello, hello...I hope you're not sleeping late again.
[Thankfully Shadow's timing is just right to avoid anything too bad. Watanuki has drawn a bath for himself, and he has a towel and some clothes sitting on his bed to change into. But he's still dressed, so there's that.
But he jumps when Shadow bursts in. He also covers himself up with his arms like a naked person might, despite not actually being naked.]
[Over the weeks of being connected to Watanuki as his Furniture, Shadow had developed... something of a sixth sense for where the guy was hiding out. He could tell that whatever he had experienced from that last scalpel had been excruciating. Maybe even more than if he had taken Anon's death.
Shadow vanishes from the ballroom, back to his own room, where he takes a moment to collect himself, and focus inward...
... and he finds himself at the shop. Following that same weird feeling brings him up the stairs to a door he's seen, but never paid attention to.
Especially since he was explicitly told not to go in there.
Shadow hesitates for a moment, standing awkwardly in front of the door.
[There's a very good reason Watanuki always told them to leave the room alone. When Shadow approaches, he will feel a sense of utter dread settle into his stomach. Whatever is on the other side of that door, it's not good.
But the door slides open a crack, letting him enter if he so chooses. ]
[There isn't an immediate answer, because Watanuki has been Resting. But she will be able to hear the sounds of movement in his room before he eventually opens the door.]
Hi, Ann-san.
[He looks exhausted, but he's in one piece and he's not screaming anymore. So maybe it's an improvement?]
[ It may be a little unfair that Emi has never made much of an effort to interact with Watanuki until now when she wants something from him. But then again, if her usual powers hadn't been sealed upon arriving here, she could do this herself without needing to request anything in the first place.
[It's fine. Watanuki doesn't take it personally. What she is doing is how things usually go anyway. Most people don't try to befriend a shopkeeper before buying their wares.
Which is also why his room is set up more like a waiting room than a bedroom, when Emi arrives. He opens the door with a professional smile, too.]
Hello, come right in.
[It's like he can already guess why she is here.
But he has a table in the middle of the room, with two cups of tea prepared.]
[ After that entire conversation with Ann, Sakura................doesn't want to bother Watanuki because while she does not have the same trigger, she still understands the PTSD reaction process.
But she still drops off his dinner by his door and slips a note underneath it. ]

There... the map should be updated. Least it's not too dramatic of a change. I do say that the bar's stock is a good selection.
no subject
Because Watanuki has acquired Sake and is attempting to get wasted. 'attempting', because it doesn't seem to be working.]
Well I hope the rest of you enjoy it. It's all like water to me.

Saturday after trial
Shadow vanishes from the ballroom, back to his own room, where he takes a moment to collect himself, and focus inward...
... and he finds himself at the shop. Following that same weird feeling brings him up the stairs to a door he's seen, but never paid attention to.

He's no good at things like this...

He knocks anyway]
