13 SENTINELS: Aegis RIM: ANOTHER STORY - [PART I] (BOOK I)

4.3. A Relaxed Lunch On Thursday (♫)

[June 28, 2129]
[12 PM, Thursday Afternoon]

They made it the the cafeteria.
There, they see Natsuno and Amiguchi already there sitting on their booth on opposite sides, conversing with one another.
Amiguchi notices the group especially this someone specific in the group.

Amiguchi:  'Found you, T/n-chan~'

T/n:  'Amiguchi-kun's here~'

Natsuno also turns around to see them incoming.
Natsuno:  "Oh? Iori-chan! Y/n-chan! And... Y/n-chan?!"

Y/n:  "Oh you didn't see her yet! Here, let me introduce you to her."
Y/n slowly drags her younger sister closer to her and hugs T/n's arm.

Y/n:  "This is my younger twin, T/n."

Natsuno:  "Y-younger twin sister?!"

T/n:  "Hello, I'm T/n. What's your name?"
T/n:  'So she's the one...'

Natsuno:  "M-Minami Natsuno!"

T/n:  "Natsuno, I can tell your nervous." T/n smiles.

Natsuno:  "W-well I- I didn't know there was two of you so..."

T/n scoffs as if she already likes this girl.
It was refreshing and also...
Kinda nostalgic too?

T/n:  "Natsuno-chan, wanna hang out today?"

Natsuno:  "I'm very sorry, I have track practice today."

T/n:  "I can wait."

Natsuno:  "I don't think you should though, it might take a while."

T/n:  "Well, how about tomorrow?"

Natsuno:  "That's fine, I actually have no practice tomorrow so we can definitely hang out after!"
T/n:  "Good, I'll be waiting~"
T/n reassures her third girl buddy she just made today.

T/n has actually seen her before.
Not in reality...
But in her dreams.
In all sorts of dreams.
She can even sort out the ones she's seen herself with Natsuno and this mysterious guy with her also.

It was as if they were all good friends.
It felt like visions, at the same time it didn't feel like it.
Since T/n has been seeing her often, T/n thought it might not hurt to be friends with the girl she has been seeing through her dreams.

Natsuno felt some type of way.
Like... very happy?
She's never had this experience spike up as much as she expected.
It was like she was excited.
It has been a while since she's made a new friend since her childhood.

For some reason though...
Natsuno had a feeling.
It felt as if she knew T/n from somewhere but couldn't put a finger on it.
It was settling in for a good minute.

What was it?
1, 2, 3...
Yes, that's right.
That's it!
Mysterious, cool, yet comfortable.
That's how it felt to Natsuno.

Natsuno:  "Anyways, come on over you guys!"
Natsuno pats the seat next to her.

T/n sits next to Natsuno, Iori sits to the seat after T/n.
Juro sits next to Amiguchi, Y/n sits to the seat after Juro.

Amiguchi:  'Aw, I wanted T/n-chan to sit next to me... Oh well, there's always next time.'

Juro:  'Y-Y/n is sitting next to me... I...G-get yourself together! It's okay! But why? Why do I feel like this...?'
