Tsumiki must've jumped about three feet in the air upon hearing Servant's voice before whipping her head around to lock eyes with the fluffy-haired boy. Servant's eyes narrow as he stares down Tsumiki, arms folded neatly over his chest.
Finally, Servant smiles. "How lovely to see you again, Tsumiki-san! It's been too long, has it not?"
The nurse's eyes narrow. "What the hell are you talking about?! And how dare you talk to Junko's girlfriend like this?! You're just a servant."
Servant smirks. "You know Enoshima never loved you back, right? She was just using you; I'd advise you to get that through your head."
Tsumiki glares at him, stepping away from Hinata to stand closer to him. "You shut your mouth!" She hisses, "Junko and I were deeply in love, you're just jealous! One more word about it and I'll make you into a scarecrow!"
Hinata flinches violently and Servant smiles. ". . .That is quite a scary thought. So what brings you to Towa City, Tsumiki-san?"
"I'm spreading the word of Despair to the other Remnants. Sonia has taken over as leader-she's a natural-born leader, after all. She wants to gather everyone in her castle so that we can decide what to do next. So what do you say?! Will I have to drag you there by the chain?"
Servant brushes past him, going to stand protectively in front of Hinata. "Ah, about that. . .you see, I can't exactly leave the city. . ."
"For now, I will stay alive." Hinata mumbles under his breath.
"Thank you for that slight reference, Hinata-kun, but as I was saying to Tsumiki-san, I have many plans and duties for this city that I cannot just walk away from. My sincerest apologies, but I'll try and visit Sonia as soon as I can. Send along a message, if you can."
Tsumiki frowns at him. "Junko would've wanted you to attend this important meeting, Servant."
The fluffy-haired boy raises an eyebrow. "Well, Enoshima is dead, so it doesn't really matter, correct? We don't need to live under her heel anymore. . .I think."
Hinata flinches. That sounds just like something she would say.
"That is exactly why we need t-to carry on my beloved's will! We need to fill the world with despair now more than ever. . ."
"I am trying the best I can to be Despair so that even more hope can come from heroes treading on me. I am doing my best as a literal servant to Despair! Please send along my regards, Tsumiki-san."
"You're so weird, Servant."
"A popular opinion usually."
Tsumiki frowns. "Fine. Loser," She then looks at Hinata and grins widely, "I'll see you again soon, young boy. Don't think we're finished here. . ."
Servant presses his lips together. ". . .I know it would cause both of us a lot of despair, but if you could keep your hands off of my prisoner, it would be greatly appreciated."
"But-"
Servant grins devilishly, making his brunet flinch. "I've been using him to practice methods of torture and forms of despair on him," He breathes, grabbing Hinata's wrist and squeezing it tightly, "Underneath his clothes he's a starved boy littered with bruises and scars. Now imagine that but set on fire!"
Hinata stares at Servant in horror. He had the most terrifying expression on his face. This was the true despair he was trapped within, wasn't it. He's such a good liar. . .
