Several months? [This time paradox stuff is going to take some getting used to. Dropping to a crouch to set the books down, the stands up and arches his back, then gives Mitsuru a big smile.]

Yeah, I saw Minato just a bit ago. Ryoji, too. Looks like we'll have a couple classes together. But... Ken is here? [He looks a little perplexed.] I know he's not quite your average elementary kid, but is he really ready for this kinda stuff? [Well, Ken's been through a lot, too. They ALL have, really. Maybe military school isn't so bad compared to other things.

He nods then.]

Yeah I just got here earlier today, got enrolled here by some weird scientist dudes. Oh, have you met up with Akihiko-senpai yet? He's here, too; looks like we both got here at the same time.

Heh, pretty much the whole gang is here, huh.

[He doesn't necessarily want to think about what this means--if Minato's been here for about four months then it's obvious there's some weird timeslip going on, because Junpei just saw everyone earlier today, by his clock. But if they're all here, and they're also there, then... How the hell does this work?]
