[ . . . . none of this is? Making sense?]
"Inmate"? But this is where bad people go.
[she's.... she's going to have to take some time to let this click. and even if she means "bad" in the sense that these are people who did bad things, she doesn't quite have the vocabulary for that. right now, it's still all simplicity, even as she struggles to articulate herself]
Yato does not belong here.

Yeah, kinda.
Why'd they come after YOU anyway?
Why'd they come after YOU anyway?
[ Those are some contentious words. Whether he's a bad person or deserving of being here is by all means still under debate. If he's above judgment by human law, if he leaves and ignores the justice they try to bring down on him, he's as good as rejecting his humanity, or his good citizenship, or both.
Still holding Anya's hands, he leans his head on a bar and says gently: ]
Do you understand what I did? I tried to kill someone, Anya.

Uhh technically I'm throwing myself out
[ He has come upon a wonderful new ability that is not actually a surprise but which he is still very bad at. But it's more than enough for him to bust out of this boring and empty as heck jail. ]
Aw are you saying you missed me?? (〃･ω･)
I've missed you too! I can't wait to be back at the Inkwell. I can head over right now!

[ hi kashuu ]
Of course they're safe! Fat kids have quarters too.
[ And Yato and Kashuu are twiggy enough to equate to fat kids maybe. Yato scrunches himself up onto the dragon and leans over to pop his quarter in. The dragon beings to play a .wav of itself roaring with a dinky song in the background. Word hard, little dragon... ]
So what's your middle bingo square?
[ he was pinged too hard by the coin-operated children's ride square to read anything else idk ]

[Great... god...
He can't help the pause as he reassesses what he wants to say.]
Awesome! That's ... [really weird] Thanks! I didn't know you're calling yourself a god nowadays, but I guess our memories can't be all on spot, huh? D'you remember me?

Yeah, that's ... the issue, sort of.
[He laughs, trying to make it sound as awkward as he can. It doesn't take much acting at this point.]
I was sort of hoping you could tell me since I mean, I DO know my name, but there's also another one from my past that I don't remember. My original name, sort of. Or at least it feels like that.
Sorry, that doesn't make much sense, does it? I saw your name in the retrospect app and remembered it, so I was hoping you could help me somehow. I've got the feeling I'm going insane here.

Some crazy action, like a fight. ...and people with powers.
[LOOKING SCANDALIZED...]
I can't believe you'd do that to someone you love.

Sorry to hear that.
[ Most people would be surprised to hear about a friend's family being in prison for murder. But even before Yato began seeing visions of slaughter and gore, he knew decent people who made violent decisions. Majima, who could beat a creature much larger than he with his bare fists, was never too far from that estimation. Hearing now that Majima has a felon for a brother isn't a huge shock. Still, he can sympathize with the loss of a loved one taken to a world apart. ]
Why'd he do it?

Oh my god, Yato.
[HE'S NOT WRONG, BUT STILL... Anyway, Kashuu will just stand back and watch Yato warily at first, using him as a Danger Gauge.]
It's basically "host a fashion show with weird clothing at work". [HUFFS AND PUFFS.
And then
just sort of climbs onto the back of the sad little dragon too because 1) fuck you Yato he's gotta get these points and he isn't wasting his own quarters and 2) he doesn't want Yato looking at his face and seeing the Vague Concern when he asks:]
Where've you been lately, anyway?
[Not that he cares about Yato or anything... Not that he noticed his absence...!
The dragon is slowly dying in the meantime but it's fine, it still hasn't broken down.]

[YATO THIS IS NOT A GOOD REASON TO BREAK OUT OF JAIL]
[ Yes, maybe there was another way. A slower way. A less permanent way. Neither of those things an option to Yato.
The most childish statement is the one that reaches him most easily. He can disagree with another person's reasoning or perspective, but he can't deny their simplest of feelings.
If Yamato can expose his heart a little, then maybe so can Yato. ]
I'm sorry that you had to start remembering me like this. But I'm glad that you did start.
[ Yato wishes his heart were hardy enough to re-introduce himself to the same friends every day, to say that being able to interact with them just a little at a time could be enough. Some people are happy enough knowing that their friends are happy. Call him selfish, call him needy. He isn't a good enough person to be happy with giving and getting nothing in return.
He's a taker. That much is true. ]
I missed being able to talk like we usually do.

[Fine, he gives him one.]
...I'll see what I can do. If you tried you could pass it off as defending yourself and her. [Self-defense usually requires the threat to be immediate, but not always he thinks...]
And for god's sake, if you don't end up rotting in a cell for the rest of your miserable life, come talk to a cop if anything like this ever happens again. Me, even.

[It's difficult for her to reconcile.
Since the day that they met, Yato has only been encouraging, sweet, and kind to Anya. Yato has always been more supportive of her than anyone else. Yato has always gone out of his way to make her laugh and smile more than anyone else. Yato has always held her higher, made her feel like she could do anything - more than anyone else.
How could someone like that want to take someone else's life?
There's a clear moment where she falters, the shock and confusion settling behind her wide eyes even as his words echo in her ears. Her breath gets trapped in her throat.
Chuuya wanted to do this too - he wanted to go down a path where Anya didn't think that she could follow, because hurting people never once occurred to her. At the time, she'd been concerned for him, because what if he got hurt chasing down someone he wanted to be. Now as she reaches past jail cell bars to hold onto Yato, she realizes that there might be a sincere chance of other people getting hurt. People she doesn't even know.
It should scare her enough that she should let go. Now would be the time, if there was ever a time, where it would make sense to let go of people who might be bad for her.
Her fingers clutch onto Yato tighter even as water starts to line the bottom of her eyes, not that she seems to notice.]
Почему...? Yato, why? Yato...!

[ Reasons why Yato loves his co-workers so much: all of this. ]
Cookies!!! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆
I'll be there in a jiffy
[ And when he says jiffy, he means it. Not five minutes later, there's the sound of something thumping against the side of the building. Ten seconds later, Yato bursts into the Inkwell, tracksuit and all, hair done up into a little ponytail. He looks the same as ever, save for a temporary little smack of redness to the face. ]
Toooshiii!
