With a final glance, he joins Souda in front of the barn, trying not to think too hard about Komaeda’s sad expression.

He turns to Souda, “Hey, was it just me, or was Saionji acting kinda weird when she brought these drinks to us? I wouldn’t drink them if I were you.”

“Thanks, Saionji! How generous of you.” He looks back at Komaeda expectantly as he picks up one of the cans and holds it to his ear, listening to it fizzle. “I guess we’ll have to wait a bit, though.”

His expression is complicated, but he doesn’t let his feelings about the situation cloud his judgement.

“... I have to agree with them about tying you up. After this, you can’t be trusted to act on your own.” He takes the rope from Saionji and ties Komaeda’s wrists behind him.

hand, “Is this your phone? After you sent me a message about the bomb at the cottages, you stopped responding. And now I find you out here alone with Komaeda... I don’t want to say it but... just what were you doing out here, Saionji?”

“Saionji, what’s wrong? Komaeda, are you okay?” He’s not sure what to make of the scene before him.

He scowls, glad that they were able to avoid Owari-ant’s wrath for now. He turns to Komaeda with a frown, “Yes, thank you, this is honestly my life’s greatest accomplishment, being the king of ants. Did you find anything in Saionji’s pocket that was worth it?”

"VIP tickets... sounds like we'll finally be able to see Saionji perform live, huh, Komaeda...?"

Hinata starts musing aloud as he moves towards the nearest Saionji statue, one with a dark look frozen on her face and glaring back at him.

Hinata frowns, “Saionji said we could learn something from the “real” Hinata and Komaeda, so I want to see if they’ll be able to help us at all. You were looking for something earlier, right?” He looks down at both ants.

Hinata glances between Komaeda and the ant that looks like Komaeda, unsure what he’s waiting for. Somewhat skeptically he asks, “Do either of you know where Saionji went?”

He glares at Komaeda and says deadpan, “Well, I’d hope the ant versions of ourselves would be friendly. Would /love/ to find out that Saionji just thinks of us as mean little ants she can squish at any time.”

”If I tell you directly, it feels like a reality just beyond my reach instead of a lie I tell myself to feel better when this doesn’t work.”

Sure enough, the trail of ants they’ve found is exactly the lead he needed. He can see the bright orange fabric of Saionji’s kimono.

“The beach... Of course, great idea.” As he starts heading in that direction, he thinks about how many ants Saionji has squished if she’s been waiting on the beach. On the last dive, he managed to met her before she had a chance to start.

“Hey Komaeda?” >>

It’s been long enough that hearing Komaeda’s tone so happy is a little jarring. He relaxes his face, stepping into his role as clueless Hinata Hajime, Ultimate ???.

“Ahh... have you seen Saionji recently? I lent her one of my books and never got it back.”

“I’m gonna try diving into Saionji’s mind today. Which simulation do you recommend we try this time?”

No offense, Saionji, but I didn’t expect someone like you to fall for these cheap tactics to escape reality. YOU’RE better than that!

A few good dreams are not worth risking your life for!
