[For the past few days, Naoi has been checking his journal a bit more often than he normally would. First with Noda showing up and then Hinata, what were the chances that Otonashi would be back too? Granted the chances were always very slim but he had hope this time. He wanted to hope he'd see him again.
He misses his best friend.
And when he opens up his journal today to see that familiar orange hair on the feed and hear that familiar voice, he finds himself just staring at the screen. Almost in disbelief.
Is he really here? Are the Malnosso tricking him like they have before? It's possible but he doesn't want to believe it. He wants to believe that Otonashi has, once again, gotten his second chance here. (Though this would technically be his third).
It takes him a long moment but he finally presses the button to respond. His voice is gentle, much softer than before, and he speaks simply:]
[voice] finally just gonna settle on down in here
