Morning[/b]
	What to bring...? It was just a day-trip, right? So he shouldn't bring much. Maybe just a towel and sunglasses or something. Sunscreen? He didn't have sunscreen, so would somebody else bring some and let him use it? Or did it not matter?

	Sato sighed and sat down on the edge of his bed. Was going to the beach really the right thing to be doing at the moment? With everything going on in Warakuma, with the cult and the Mirror World and Seto and all that, was hanging around at the beach the best thing they could be doing? Maybe he was overthinking it. Sato checked his phone idly. No new texts and it was 8:30. They [i]were[/i] just teenagers. And it [i]was[/i] summer vacation, so they should just enjoy themselves, right? It'd be good for keeping up team morale and making a tighter team bond, and everyone losing the motivation to keep fighting would be disastrous. Plus [s]he got to see Mako shir--[/s]

	[i]Anyways[/i] Sato got up and stuck his phone in his pocket and grabbed his stuff, ignorant of any better way to prepare as he glided down the stairs. He walked over into the kitchen and gave a quiet greeting to his mom.

	"Have fun with you friends today, Sato." She smiled, "Are you sure you have everything you need?"

	"I'm good, thanks."

	His mom raised her eyebrows suspiciously and eyed the minimalist load-out Sato was bringing. "Are you [i]sure[/i]?" Sato dodged the question by giving her a hug and ducking out the front door before she could say anything further, but before he could truly escape she stood at the door and called after him. "Be safe, Sato! I love you!"

	Sato swiveled around as he started down the street and gave her a small wave. "See ya tonight!"

[hr]
	Sato checked his phone again as he walked into the station. It wasn't even 9 yet, but it was already getting pretty hot out. Hopefully the beach wouldn't burn them alive when they got there, but at least there was always the ocean to cool off in. Walking into the station, Sato noticed Kotori first, who was hiding under a sun hat and carrying around a bag presumably packed with essentials. He suddenly felt inadequate, having only brought a single towel and sunglasses. And the others weren't wearing swimsuits yet. Shit, should he have brought a change of clothes? All he had was the clothes he was wearing-- a loose button-up and his swimtrunks (a dark blue with clock patterns; his mom said it was cool).

	The group had found a spot on the platform safely out of the way of any of the station's commuters, so Sato made his way over to the others, but he was surprised to see that only Rui, Kotori, and the two Shoujin students were there. Sato gave a small bow to his fellows and gave a quiet, "Morning." He briefly thought of making small talk, like "Who else is excited for the beach?", or "Nice day for the trip, huh?", but he decided against it seeing as everyone there didn't seem the type to get awfully hyped. A cool guy would've gotten there late, so Sato figured that he was only cool in the headed sense.

	A few minutes passed and Sato awkwardly shifted in his own skin. He thought it would be more cloudy, but with how hot the sun was on the walk there, he was definitely gonna need some skin protection for the whole day. He rubbed the back of his neck and turned to Kotori. "I think I came a little unprepared..." He muttered, unsure of his relationship with the second-year girl. "Do you have sunscreen or any such thing?"
