[That was a voice he knew. The recognition was immediate, more immediate than the voice of any other classmate for him. And it hits him so hard, he doesn't fully process what the man says at first. He just freezes, turning from his spot a ways away to stare in Nekomaru's direction.
Ah, but wait-- "Returned from hell again."
Of course he would have a much brighter outlook on arriving in a place like this than he had. Where he thought he'd surely arrived at Hell's door, his classmate saw it as the complete opposite. Somehow...that makes this situation a little easier. It's still difficult and somewhat jarring, with a lingering feeling of guilt, but...
Is this similar to how Fuyuhiko felt, coming face to face with Mahiru for the first time? (And, maybe, the second time as well?) No sense in hanging back, he guesses...they'd meet eventually anyway. Don't mind his appearance too much. He's still the same chuuni loser you know. Mostly.]
Kehehe...so even you have arrived on this plane of existence now, have you?
