Who: Hinata and Otonashi
What: Catch!
Where: The Baseball Diamond
When: The evening of the day Hinata arrived
Warnings: Baseball?? Probably nothing.
[Hinata had taken Otonashi's advice, going around and talking to several different people he didn't recognize. He'd also spoken to Yuri, who'd seemed a bit... off to him. He had to wonder if he'd made her angry somehow.]
[Something else had also stood out to him. Several people had claimed to be there for several months, even a year, and Hinata had never seen them before. Otonashi had said the same thing... maybe he really had been gone for a year.]
[For now, he was leaning against the backstop behind home plate, considering all the things he'd heard today. He'd already gone to the supply shed to get a pair of baseball gloves, wearing one, tossing a baseball into it over and over as if the repetition of it helped him think.]

Hey, Hinata!
no subject
Otonashi..! [He pushed off from the fence, bending at the hip and collecting the other baseball glove before walking over to meet the redhead halfway, offering out the extra glove to him.] Ready?
no subject
Either way, he gives his friend a wave before nodding and taking the glove, sliding it on.]
Yep. Ready when you are.
no subject
[Hinata moved to home plate, gesturing for Otonashi to back up a little more before casually tossing the ball at the redhead. He wouldn't bother with taking a perfect stance or anything right now... he didn't see the need. Besides, something repetitive like this could be very relaxing.]
...I'm sorry I didn't wait to go. [The words were sudden, but not really that unusual.] I could've been here helping...
no subject
You mean during our graduation?
[He tosses the ball back.]
no subject
[He held out his gloved hand as the ball was tossed back, leaning forward a bit so it fell neatly into the glove.]
If I'd stayed maybe I could've changed something, I don't know.
And Yurippe... [His voice trails off, holding the ball underhand and tossing it back at the redhead.]
no subject
I don't remember the graduation at all, but Yuri said she left after you just fine. I'm not sure what happened to me and Kanade, but... [Tossing the ball back.] What we know for sure is that at least you, Yuri, and Naoi were brought back after disappearing. So... I don't know. I don't think it would have made a difference. You're here now, anyway.
[...If that even makes sense. He's having a hard time explaining his thoughts coherently, because really, the fact that they're back and all these other people are here now is incredibly baffling and confusing.]
no subject
[Lost in thought, he fumbles with the ball, which bounces off the prematurely closed glove. It drops to the dirt beneath him, rolling a short distance away before he manages to scramble after it efficiently enough to pick it up.]
no subject
He watches as Hinata fumbles around.] A lot has, yeah. What did you hear?
