[The Crossing is coming again.

There is no advance warning from The Ferryman this time. There is nothing to draw your attention towards the message that appears on your device, whatever it may be, except perhaps the expectation that it should be appearing soon.

Whether you think to check for it or you simply stumble upon it, the words are there just as before:]

A toll to be levied for safe passage
from the desert to ǝɹǝɥʍǝsʅǝ

envision a place of comfort and safety
a haven from the wants and ills of life
be it for a moment or for a lifetime

offer it to The Ferryman
and let go

[Hanako doesn’t bother replying via the network, but he does mentally count to 118 before bursting into the room - most notably through the window she had just uncovered!]

Hi, hi!

[He seems rather pleased with himself, especially as he tackles Yashiro in a hug!]

Did you miss me~?

[daikonheroine]

H-Hanako-kun! [Her exclamation of shock quickly turned into a relieved smile.] I-I did... Welcome.

[She had just had enough time to straighten things up so there was now a clean space that they could talk in.]

What did you want to talk about?

[toilet_bound]

[His bright smile lingered for a moment before it cleared, replaced by one more calculating as he sat on the edge of her bed.]

Wow, right to the point today, aren’t you? [That worked for him, so long as she was relaxed enough to be malleable.] Yashiro… what do you think about that message we received?
