[h3][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QylQp6N3uMA]Sato Hashimoto // Warakuma Train Terminal[/url][/h3]	Sato stood lost in thought beside Kotori for another few minutes, completely perplexed about whether or not he should have brought certain items when everyone else would bring them regardless, until he noticed more people joining their group. Shizuka and the latest in a series of Persona-users showed up, followed a bit later by an exasperated Matt, who had woken up late, but he decided against trying to talk to them on virtue of waiting for Mako to show up before he really started relaxing. It's not like he wouldn't have a good time if he didn't show, but it'd be good to know how he was gonna spend most of his day. Eventually, though, Sato saw Mako turn the corner around the station terminal, and he gave a wave to him. Sato parted from the group for a moment (which was a bit of a relief, as it seemed a bit awkward with the new kid and whatever was going on between Shizuka and Matt) to run over and greet Mako. 
	
	"Hey," Sato smiled, rubbing the back of his neck. What was he supposed to say...? 'Good to see you' or something? It wasn't like they hadn't seen each other recently or anything. Luckily, their conversation was cut short by the crescendo of the approaching train, the speakers crackling into life to announce that it was in fact the train they were taking to the beach. Sato looked over his shoulder to see Rui announcing to the group that they were going now, so Sato turned back to Mako and gave another weak smile. After a second of consideration, Sato reached out to hold his hand, but upon making contact, he felt like he was some kind of E.T. alien and it felt weird enough in public that Sato withdrew his hands and shoved them in his pockets. Maybe later.

	Regardless, the whole group boarded the train and found a section of seats next to each other. Sato, of course, sat next to Mako, but the whole train ride was uneventful as a whole seeing as everyone was still waking up and there wasn't exactly much to talk about besides how excited they were for the beach. The sights weren't much new for the most part either, until they came out of a tunnel and suddenly the trees disappeared to reveal a stunning open coast. Sato tried to awkwardly lean over Mako, who took the window-seat, to the try to get a better look of it. The weather was absolutely perfect as well, and they could even see the nearby landmass of China in the distance... The view was stunning.

	Soon after being greeted by that view, they were let off at a train station only a couple minute walk away from the beach itself.  The train station itself was surprising new, with an untainted appearance and modern design, but Sato figured it was the latest in a long series of urbanization that the area had been going through for the last several years. Kazuki soon explained this very thing to the group, and Sato felt a little smug for having already known this fact, but for some reason Kazuki seemed weirdly bothered by what he told them. Wasn't he a rich kid or something, so did his parents own a company or something that was competing with them...? Sato honestly couldn't really remember if Kazuki had revealed that much about himself, but hey, he went to a ritzy place so it was probably safe to assume.

	Once they got to the actual beach strip, Sato surveyed the area. There were quite a few changing rooms and a long line of stands and shops serving presumably any kind of refreshment you'd crave on a perfect beach day, but it only reminded Sato that he had [i]also[/i] forgotten to bring any money with him... Maybe Mako would have some? Either way, with Kazuki and Megumi running off to find a good spot to camp out at, the group was left to their own devices to go do whatever. So... Uh. When were they gonna get in the water? That was pretty much why he came in the first place, but Sato guessed they had to get in the mood first or something. Unless someone was gonna make a dead-sprint for the shore, which wouldn't exactly surprise him at this point knowing some of the members of the team...

	"So, what first?" Sato wondered out loud, still looking over at all the shops. "Though, I guess some of you guys still need to change into your swimsuits, huh?"
