[ It was for a good cause. Bless. ]
Hm. [ He shakes his head, the pigtails swooshing. ] They feel a little strange, if I am honest.

[ He reaches a hand back to flick one of the ponytails on. Oh, hello front camera and the attractive Shrek-chin look it gives you automatically. How beautiful. ]
Because I am not used to it, it looks a little odd. But charming, nonetheless. What about you? How do you look with pigtails?

[Hey, he's holding it up at a nice angle! Unless Yusuke took it from him and angled it down, because then the double chin is entirely his fault. GOOD JOB.]
Hmm.... They were low in the back like this in my memory, since my hair was shorter. [Which he demonstrates by putting his hands where the pigtails would be.] But I think I have some spare hair ties in my bag, if you want me to match yours. But only because it's you!

[ IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO LOOK GOOD IN THE FRONT CAMERA. ]
If you sit, I will do my best to make you look as charming as I apparently look.
[ said a little dryly. ] We can say it's practice for the end goal. [ SANJI PIGTAILS. ]

[NOT WHEN YOU'RE THIS BEAUTIFUL, IT ISN'T.]
Really? Okay, then I'll take your word for it! Do you think your artistic skill extends to this too?
[Give him just a moment to dig through his bag and pull out a few hair ties before sitting back down. They kind of collect when he doesn't empty the pockets out.... Your move, Yusuke.]

[ WOW. THEY CAN HAVE A PRETTY OFF. HE'LL FIGHT YOU. ]
Probably not. [ RIP. ] Let me know if I tug your hair too much, I'm not trying to cause harm.
[ But he'll do his best. And run sooooooothing fingers through Izumi's haaaaaaair. Ahhh. ]

[uM,,,,]
That's okay, I can't do anything more complicated than this! I already know I'd be bad at braids, or else I'd try them on you.
[Still, he hums softly as Yusuke runs his fingers through his hair. If nothing else, at least it's smooth and silky! Like a girl's.]
You're more gentle than I am.... [Don't mind him closing his eyes.] This feels really nice.

[ Calm. ]
It seems as though it'll be easier if I remove any knots first. Now, please hold still--
[ And he's twisting that smooth, silky hair of Izumi's up and into adorable pigtails. All together now. Awwwwww. ]

I usually don't get knots in my hair, but I'm excited to see what you do! Do you think you can beat my mediocre skills?
[Even without seeing it yet, just having his hair twisted up into pigtails already feels cute. Awwwww!]
How does it look? Do we match now?

You must use plenty of conditioner...
[ Hmm. Well, he is an artist. Hold up, if he adds a little twist here, and a little braided part here, then... ]
You look very Pinteresting worthy, if I do say so myself.

How are you so much better at this than me? Even without seeing it, I can already tell! Pinterest worthy for sure.
[Have you ever seen a good boy? Good job, Yusuke, he's actually inclined to take a picture of himself for once after seeing himself in the front camera.... but he doesn't just yet. Not until he can pull Yusuke in the shot, which he's absolutely trying to do.]
Smile! To remember the occasion!

Hardly. It's somewhat messy - but it's passable, I suppose.
[ WHAT A GOOD BOY. He lets his hands drop, and -- uh oh, here he goes. He's being dragged into a picture. What is this. Hello?
He does manage to smile and while it looks a tiny bit bewildered, but it's a smile! A proper one! ]

Messy can be pretty stylish though, right? Like a messy bun! If your hair was long enough, I'd try one of those on you. What do you think?
[Oh no, cute.... Don't mind him taking a few too many pictures (just in case!) before pulling back and trying to select the best one.]
I usually don't like taking pictures of myself, but these turned out pretty well!

I think that is the case. A sort of casual style, that probably takes longer to do than it seems like it should.
About the bun? [ .... ] I have never considered how my hair would look in a bun. And I know I don't have enough hair for a bun.
[ Oh. Photos. Right. ]
I don't usually take many selfies, so... I will trust your judgement on these.

I'll have to get better at doing hair.... Maybe I can subject Mao to it, but his hair isn't that long either. Maybe Rise can teach me instead!
[The mental image of Yusuke with a bun is simultaneously hilarious and adorable, though, and he can't help but laugh a bit.]
There has to be a hairstyle out there that'll suit you well. [And he turns the phone around, showing off the picture he deems the best of the group.] You should send it to your boyfriend!

Maybe I should.
[ He will do exactly that, about two months later. ]
I like the one I have now. It suits me... and is easy to upkeep. I think those are very important factors.

I didn't mean to change your current hairstyle! Just that there's probably a way to put it up, if you really want to. Like how I always do the same two or three styles of ponytails even though there are countless hairstyles to choose from.
[Well, maybe not countless, but.... take his current updo, for example!]
Have you ever thought of clipping your bangs back while working?

Honestly, I have never considered it. Usually I just tuck as much of my fringe behind my ear as I can if it's getting in the way...
[ Izumi looks good styling his hair though. He should continue to do so, and do fancy additions. ]

The next time I need to buy you a present, I know exactly what to get you.
[Are presents supposed to be surprises? Not anymore.]
Mine always falls in my face when I look down at my canvas or paper, so it's well worth it! Even if you wouldn't wear one in public, it can be useful at home.

So if I receive a mystery hairpin, I shall send my thanks to you.
[ Apparently not? ]
I see... so it would be both practical and stylish at once, hm?

[Give him a moment to hum in thought, as he tends to do.... and then move to dig through his bag once more.]
I probably have a couple in here. With the way you keep your hair parted, I think it'll look good on you!
[And look at that! Lo and behold, he pulls out a few hair pins. These are definitely Hinata's, but OH WELL.]
Want to give it a try?

[ Well this seems to be happening. ]
You're quite adamant I should, it seems. [ But he's holding out a hand for the pin. ]

[ As they both drift to sleep, they're dragged into a rabbit hole similar to October. It starts off with darkness, only to be interrupted by a booming voice, one deep and foreboding as it narrates what's to come:
A traitor waits in the shadows, but do not fret. You were prepared.
The darkness fades, setting seeping in like paint on a canvas. If only it were bright colors, maybe even something as gaudy as Madarame's Palace, but no. It's just as dark—ceiling plagued by pipes and walls of metal on both sides. The sounds of a machinations, the waves gently swaying outside, and the muggy air easily illustrate where they are. It's a boiler room they're traversing, footsteps following one after another. The one who stops first is Futaba, mentioning that she senses someone here.
And here appears Goro Akechi, unamused by their meddling, but overall not surprised by Akira's escape from death. He walks forward, nonchalantly greeting them with a "long time no see."
The exchange continues, everyone somewhat surprised by his appearance.
Goro merely ignores them, instead keeping his eyes on Akira as he scoffs, "I'm impressed that you managed to deceive me. It seems I underestimated your abilities. You truly are interesting. Quiet, yet possessing the courage and determination to take action."
Silence settles with all eyes on the star.
"Under different circumstances, we could have been great rivals... Or perhaps friends." ]
I...
[ Even if that wasn't one of the dialogue options, Akechi continues, laughing mockingly like he did in the memory. It's just a record playing, repeating how envious he is of their free spirits. There's underlying malice and hostility, laced between words despite neutral tones, but it all ends with this one haunting sentence, packed with sincere regret:
"I wonder why we couldn't have met a few years earlier, Akira." ]
How do I wake up?
