( CW: Cannibalism and suicidal thoughts )

[This week is shaping up to be just as bad as last week and it's only Wednesday. After falling down half a flight of stairs, Ryuunosuke's given up on today and has spent the day alternating between sleeping and (trying) to read, though reading and translating Chinese really isn't going so well in his state. The "demon summoning" book is back on the desk again and for now he's just staring up at the ceiling.

Tsukiyama should be back soon, right? Then they'll talk about... whatever happened to Tsukiyama's arm. There's no reason to worry. It's not like Tsukiyama's hiding anything big from him. There's no reason to worry.

Still, he keeps glancing over to the door as if that will make Tsukiyama show up faster. As always, the door is open just a crack, so Tsukiyama should be able to let himself in. Please don't be polite and knock today, Ryuunosuke really doesn't want to get up.]

[...He's going to be polite and knock lightly anyway, but it's more as a courtesy than anything else; something to let Ryuunosuke know he's there, as opposed to anything that's really asking permission, and he lets himself in once he's done it, pushing the door open lightly and closing it behind him.

He's sort of hoping that Ryuunosuke is asleep when he comes in; he's not having the best evening of it. It quickly becomes clear that he's not, though, as soon as Tsukiyama enters, and once he realizes that much it's fairly obvious that he doesn't know what to do with himself; he doesn't come in like he owns the place like he usually does, he just hovers near the door, and while he doesn't look nervous there's a wariness in his eyes that isn't usually there.]

How are you feeling?
