[Visual] Arcana IV - memento mori (it's still the 5th somewhere)

[March fifth. Graduation Day.

Minato has been scarce since the start of the month, even more quiet and withdrawn than normal. It isn't really characteristic of him, since he's usually on the go, always doing something. Finally he's been missing all day on March fifth.

The last day of his life.

With everything that's happened, he can't escape thinking about it. He's never been very good at dealing with his own troubles. He tends to shut down when he can't escape.

It's late at night, and the video opens to his cobalt blue dragonfly making distinctly worried kazoo noises. The last time this dragonfly made a video, Minato was sick and passed out in the woods. This time when it gets its jeweled eyes out of the way, Minato can be seen awake, but staring blankly at the sky. It's still cold, and he's underdressed for the snow he's laying in. He's been like this for a while if the dragonfly is resorting to using the orbs.]

[He’s not about to get anything out of Minato, and Ryoji knows it. He sighs heavily and looks at the dragonfly.]

Just hang on, okay? I’ll come find him.

[He scrambles around his house, trying to find a jacket for himself and one to hopefully fend off the cold Minato might get, and then rushes out into the snow, searching the area. It’s only thanks to the fact that desperation somehow equaled meticulousness that Ryoji manages to find his friend.]

[No, he didn’t, and Ryoji is panting when he finds him, the worry evident in your eyes.]

Your dragonfly was worried and sent out an SOS. No wonder, you’re out here in the cold without any proper clothing… What’s going on?

Graduation…

[Ryoji forgets for a moment, but it’s easy to tell from the sharp inhale that he remembers soon after.]

...I’m sorry. It must be hard to remember that time.

I’m… so sorry. I’m not sure if it would have been better or worse if you didn’t remember what had happened.

[He slowly sits down beside Minato, tugging his scarf tighter and burying his frown in its bright folds.]
