[ come here annoying sleepy child. they seem... used to this, so they just drape an arm over her to reassure her that it's fine and rub her arm a little. ]
Mmm, it's always too hot or too cold, too dark, too noisy... suppose there's the sim room.
It's... useful. When one misses home, when one wants to get away. A little disorienting when it's over, but. Worth it for some of the comfort it provides, I think.
[ She exhales slowly, closing her eyes in thought. ]
There's a shrine not too far from where I live back home that I visit a lot. I always have ever since I was a kid, just to have some peace and quiet somewhere, or unwind when everything seemed too rough. I think I could use it again.
[ Alright I'm timeskipping us to the sim room. (Gently places mood music down.)
When they get to the simulation room and Mizuki has properly set up, what materializes around them is, indeed... a shrine. It's quiet, despite being somewhere in the large, vast city of Tokyo, surrounded by naught but trees and the gentle chirping of birds.
[ io is just taking it all in, especially the surrounding nature for a long moment. he closes his eyes and just takes a very deep breath, slowly. if u think we're not holding hands, we might be. it's still w4. but otherwise, just... also looks a little awed as he opens his eyes up again. ]
It's beautiful. Never seen a place like this before...
[ Stepping forward, Mizuki tugs at Io's hand while heading closer toward the shrine. ]
My friend, Iris—she's like my best friend in the whole world... When we first met, we'd come here a lot just to talk. And we'd keep coming back, losing track of time, staying out too late. I think... those are the moments I really cherish the most.

It's the uncertainty in the air. Drains a person, doesn't it?
[ pats seat beside. ]
How are you holding up?
no subject
Yeah... I'm—I think I'm okay. Though, I think... I just really want a vacation from being a detective for a bit.
no subject
I think we deserve one. With those fancy drinks with the umbrellas. A beach even.
Being a detective nonstop's no good without decent breaks.
no subject
A beach sounds great... I'd even take a pool at this point. Just somewhere nice and quiet and sunny, y'know?

[ just. tiredly rests head on top of hers. ]
no subject
Oh, yeah, the sim room... [ Mizuki trails off, thinking. ] I keep forgetting about that. Maybe I should make more use of it.

[ a hug, drawing her into his side briefly if she lets him. ]
If you'd like, share it with me. Let's find some peace, hm?
no subject
You want to? [ She does brighten up at that, at least. ] Alright, then I’ll show you! The company would be nice.
no subject
Of course. Show me the part of your home that brings you peace. Something about sharing the wealth, right?
[ smiling a little more than, and getting up. let us goooo they will walk with her there. ]

[ Mizuki pushes herself up to her feet. ]
Let's go.

Mizuki takes a glance around, quietly awed. ]
... Looks just like the real thing.
no subject
It's beautiful. Never seen a place like this before...
I can see why it would be so comforting already.
no subject
See? You get it!
[ Mizuki can't help but beam. ]
I have a lot of good memories of this place. It's almost like... being in another world.
no subject
[ beams back at her aaaaa ]
Tell me about them? Did you come here with anyone else before?
