Minato, by contrast, has been enjoying his time here, living peacefully. True, he has several things he's keeping an eye out for, but overall nothing has managed to really take away from his experience here. he's alive, he's made new friends, he's happy. He misses the people from home, has a lot of pain locked away, but for the most part nothing can bring him down.

Seito, though, is one of the things he's been wary of. he knows there's more to the other teen than meets the eye, and he thinks he's hostile, he just doesn't know what or why. So for now, they act like friends. Minato plays the Fool around Seito, trying not to implicate himself any more.

Which is why he approaches when he spots the other in the forest during a walk. Friends help eachother, and Seito looks to be in pain - in any case, it's worth investigating. He kneels - within arm's reach, but not extending a hand yet. "Hey... Hey. Souzen-kun, are you alright?"
