[Prospero! Remember the first time Nate arrived?

It's happening again. It's sometime during the night - not close enough to the Dark Hour but enough to where most of the stores begin to close, the local ones anyway. Just when it's quiet though, there's a loud sound, something akin to a gunshot. And then a figure stumbles into view of the feed. His heel collides with the screen, manages to knock the phone back a few feet so that there's a better view.

It's Nate - he's dressed a little better than how he usually look, but the big difference here is the blood stain building at his torso, fresh and reminding anyone who found him the first time around, just how things were. He falls back against the wall, slides a little and realizes where he is.

A grimace and he looks down one end of the alley, then the other. A sigh and he pinches the bridge of his nose. ]

Great. Just great.

[And just like that, he seems to be okay, despite the apparent wound on him. A look around and he spots the phone on the floor, makes a face as he moves to pick it up, brush it off.] Didn't think I'd see this place again...

[Two years. He was gone from this place for two whole years. Yet in the world of Prospero, it was only about two weeks. The feed cuts off.]

[The footsteps and voice are enough to get Nate to stop and turn around, shifting his jacket to hide the bloodstain over the front of his undershirt. It's fake, but he doesn't wanna startle anyone, even if he's a little confused at being back here again.]

Hey, Chitose. Been awhile, huh?

[crimsonbells]

[she smiles - she was right, it was him! One hand is resting lightly on her Persona's back, Inugami back to normal, if looking a bit faded from being out outside the Dark Hour.]

It is you. Did you go away? I couldn't see you in my phone for a few weeks.

[caliberill]

[He nods a little to Inugami, offering a smile as he settles back to looking at Chitose. As much as he didn't really miss being here, he enjoyed the company of the others.]

Yeah, I went back home. [Scratching the back of his head, he took a look around.] It's been two years, apparently.

How've you been?

[crimsonbells]

Two whole years? [she looks impressed] It hasn't been even a whole month here.

[his question makes her pause, biting her lip] ... Inugami attacked me.

[caliberill]

You're not kidding, are you? [He focuses again, not even taking a moment to register the statement before he reaches for his side - if he had his gun anyway. He motions to the persona beside her, confused.]

I - what? Then why are you...? Chitose, did he hurt you?
