Iwajima Hospital, May 24, 6:00 AM Temperature: 67 degrees Fahrenheit, 19.44~ degrees Celsius
The sky had a pinkish-orange hue with a golden sun peering above the now visible buildings.
What was once ice chunks became cool puddles of water.
Doves were cooing while flying about as crows were cawing while picking up whatever trash was lying on the icy sidewalk.
As Yusuke Kitagawa stepped out of the hospital doors, he was greeted by harsh sunlight to which he shielded his eyes in response. However, his heart was beating calmly.
Ren: Yusuke, how are you feeling?
There was one word that was perfect for this feeling and that word was...
Yusuke: Pulchritudinous...
His newfound friends appeared to approach from behind.
Ryuji: (stretches his back) I dunno 'bout you, but I'm thinkin' of going to some hot springs.
Ann: (beams with delight) OMIGOD, I would KILL for some right now.
Yusuke: Hot springs.
Mishima: Oh, there's a hot spring that just opened called Toshinaga Springs just downtown from here. I can take you to it.
Ann: OOOH! I HEARD OF THAT PLACE! LET'S GO THERE!
Shiho: But...is it affordable...?
Yusuke: I may not have enough money to afford to go, so...
Ryuji: Dude, it's cool. We're all going together as a group. And Ren's paying!
Ren: Huh?
Ryuji: Yeah, we'll put it on your tab! Gotta a paycheck, right?
Ren: I mean, you say that and that's true. But I've never been to this place so, I'm worried it might be more expensive than we think. I think maybe we should just—
Morgana: You moron! You can't just pass the buck when paying for stuff!
Sojiro: (places a hand on Ren's shoulder) I'll pay.
Ren: You will? Thanks!
Sojiro: Just promise me you won't do something that'll cost me millions.
Ren: Got it.
The rest of the group followed suit outside.
Sae: Spa, huh? I could use a little bit of R and R. What do you guys think?
Ohya: Hell Yeah! Gonna get Lala-chan in on this! Heeey, big guy.
Iwai: I've...got plans, Ohya. Shop to run.
Tae: Uh-uh, you've worked your ass off long enough, mister.
Sae: Some of us still need to return to work. There is some incredibly thick snow.
Ohya: Isn't this what this girl's here for?
Ann: Huh? Me?
Yusuke: That is true. Your powers did quell my ice-cold powers and you did stop an entire winter storm, so...
Ann: I mean I guess.
Hifumi: I have to go see my mother, and check up on how she's doing.
Chihaya: *YAWN* I might just get kicked out of the bathhouse for sleeping in tubs and benches. So, I'll just go home.
Toranosuke: Last time I've been in a bathhouse, I've dealt with people throwing baskets and bottles of soap at me. So, I might just have to sit this one out.
