[With more people returning from Asgard, Minato figured it was time he should try contacting his other teammates. If he could, he would filter the post to them. SEES had always been secretive about their activities. They had been the mysterious club people heard about but never knew what they did.

But he figures he should introduce himself with the kids from Inaba as well. Plus, from what he'd seen, powers here weren't kept secret at all. And if he was here before, then...who knows what he might have told other people.]

Hello. This is Minato Arisato. I am not entirely sure how, but it seems I've been here before. To anyone who knew me before I apologize; I don't remember anything. But, I don't intend to be a stranger.

[To be forgotten, and ignored by those you were once closest to...he knew first-hand how painful that was.]

Anyway, I just wanted to say, it's nice to meet you again. I also want to ask, if anyone has seen any members of SEES, if they are alright? Thank you.

[So with that awkward introduction out of the way, he's going to just post this to the network.]

I'm sorry she isn't here. Still, I think she said you two were relatively happy in your world. So, there is that.

[There's an awkward pause.]

I'm not quite sure what more I can say. She's been gone almost six months. It's been a while since we saw her here.

[Yeah about that :V]

Well, if I came back, she could too.

[She considered that for a long moment. It touched on something for her that she'd tried to talk to someone else about. Minato, however, wasn't an unmitigated ass. Or, at least, he didn't look and sound like he was.]

That... made me think of something. I'd like your honest opinion.

Okay. Shoot.

[He's listening.]

You've taken the idea that you were here before well. Better than most. I feel comfortable treating you as if you were, mostly because I barely knew you then.

...Yukari and I were a little close when she was last here, or at least I'd like to think we were. [She sighed.] How would you suggest I treat her, if she comes back and doesn't remember a thing? Should I tell her we knew each other? Would she be better not knowing me?

It's a strange, uncomfortable piece of living in this place.

[There's a pause. Because that is something he's thought about a lot up until March. It's hard, not having people you were once close to be distant because they didn't remember the events that bonded you together. But he had faith they would remember in time, so he didn't say anything.

Here though, it seemed if you didn't remember, then that was it. Your memories were gone. No matter what he did, exploring the city and trying to talk to the natives, nothing jogged his memory. So he can't tell this girl with confidence that Yukari would remember her eventually.

At the same time, he doesn't want to tell her to give up either.]

Hmm...If you two were friends before, then you could certainly try again if you wanted. It wouldn't be easy. But so long as you respect her space, she'll definitely want to befriend you.

She... could be very closed off at times. I remember that. [She sighed. Honestly, they'd only barely spoken of her home, so the tale wasn't one she knew, which meant that she wasn't really in a position to comment on just how difficult Yukari could be at times.

Only time would tell, if she ever returned.]

You're right. It wouldn't be easy, but would it be best to act as if we'd never met?

Even if you did, the issue would come up eventually. I don't know how many people knew me from before, but I couldn't possibly avoid them forever.

It'd be the same for her. [Defensive as she could be, Yukari hated to run away. She always fought hard to be strong.]

See... I think that's the problem with the advice I got from someone else. If you knew them, it's hard to avoid them, and if you talk, you'll eventually let something slip.

...it's easier to tell, I guess. Maybe not the first time, but soon.

Yeah. [Not that Minato can speak for himself on that front.]

Oh, sorry. I didn't get your name.

Samantha Grey. I run an apothecary in Loki. Sorry. That's one of the problems with this whole 'coming back' thing. It really messes up introductions.

Haha. I'm located in Hel. Not really doing much right now.

Well, you did just get back. People usually take a bit of time to get used to being here, though that can be faster if there's someone you know.

Yeah. I met up with Sanada-senpai when I came here. He filled me in, but I've been taking it easy.

[Or as well as one can, when there's imminent war looming ahead.]

You'll get involved soon enough, like it or not. This place tends to do that. I didn't ever really know any of Yukari's other friends, so I'm glad a few were here.
