Once Yosuke heads off to get cleaned up and changed, Makoto decides to phone home before doing anything else. He had been texting his mother off and on, but he hadn't had much chance to actually talk on the phone. To his delight, a few texts from friends waited for him as well. Nagisa was one, excitedly telling Makoto about his plans for the new semester. Rei messaged him as well, informing him that he would make sure that all of their plans went accordingly, and that Nagisa kept up with his responsibilities as both a team member and senpai to their potential new members.

As expected, no message from Haru. But Haru never used his phone much anyway...he always got sidetracked so easily by more important things, like water and mackerel. Still, he can't help but tell his friend how he's doing anyway. Maybe he'd get a response later, if he wasn't too busy himself.

He finally gets changed once he gets off the phone with his excited siblings, both demanding that he call again as soon as possible. It tugged at his heartstrings, knowing he'd be away from them for so long. But at least he could come visit during holidays. Coming home on weekends wouldn't be feasible though...not with how far away campus was.

When Yosuke finishes with everything he needed to do, he'll find Makoto seated on the edge of his bottom bunk, cell in one hand before he moves to push it into his pocket.

"Are we ready?"
