> maybe actually dead

[ This seems to be a running pattern with Minato, falling asleep when he really shouldn't be and not waking up despite everything around him telling him to. This is the second time that Souji is just wandering around, trying to find a nice spot he can sit and relax when he sees something very wrong about the picture in front of him. To be honest, it does take him about two seconds to process it, though, because A) there's no way that a person is underwater in a hot spring, B) okay, maybe they are underwater but just enjoying it for a bit, C) why aren't there any air bubbles, D) wait, is that Minato?, and E) doesn't he have a history of just sleeping through anything?? ]

Minato-san--!!

[ That right there was Souji's thought process before he leapt from just staring to immediately wading over to lift him straight out of the water. Hopefully, Minato's towel didn't float away to leave him indecent because Souji practically holds him up as high as he can so he can walk him over to a ledge or anything to sit him down and to repeatedly pat his back. C'mon, c'mon, wake up. ]
