Ivan Karelin : pre and post examination

[sponsorigami]

A. Days 1-2: Normal lockdown

[ Thankfully there is a place that can repair Ivan's shamisen, so Angel has taken it to be fixed. Ivan would have done so himself, but he was instructed to not leave Virgo HQ. It has left him rather bored. He wanders around. Sometimes he does internet searches for things he or his band has seen in those strange visions. Other times he has either his phone or paper in hand, trying to write down lyrics. A cup of tea is often by his side.

It's not usually his role in the band to write lyrics or compose, but he feels like he needs to. It's a great outlet for the things he feels. To outsiders, the subject matter might be... worrying.

Petals alight up in the sky
As fireworks soaring oh so high
Face the dark, stand tall so all can see
Like nighttime sakura hanabi

A fierce passion fills up my bones
For my own sins, can I atone?
If one must fade, please let that one be me
A sakura lost among the hanabi

They're lyrics he came up with before he lost control of himself and broke his shamisen playing speaker golf. Now, he feels compelled to finish them. ]

B. Day 5: Return from...?

[ On the 3rd and 4th, Ivan disappeared with only a note to his band saying that he need to take care of something left. He didn't expect to be gone for so long when Juno called him in to be talked to further and examined. And he doesn't remember what he did during that time.

Ivan doesn't want to think of it, doesn't want to talk about it. When he wakes back in his room, Ivan goes back to business as usual. His shamisen is back from repairs, and he's eager to lose himself to the music.

However, he's quieter and meeker, bordering on scared. His memory is also faulty, like certain sectors have gone dark, even some recent events. Something has happened to him, but Ivan won't have any answers. ]
