[ As long as the seats aren't literal human furniture, Red will take whichever of the options sits him at a respectable spot to Gundam, facing somewhere in his line of view. Plush seating or wood doesn't matter to Red as much as that. ]

Mm! [ But Gundam's given the word, and Red answers it with a confident sound, a small thing as he brings the envelope into both of his hands, his shoulders feeling tense and his stomach tight. It's just a letter, but he's puffing himself up internally, opening the flap and taking out the paper, unfolding it to get ready. He looks serious, and he sounds it, in the quick ] Alright [ to signal that he's about to speak. ]

Komaeda Nagito! [ ...he's not going in too loud, promise. ]

My name is Red. In case you don't remember me, we met in a place we shouldn't. We connected because we wanted to see that place get better, but then you left.

You told me about your world and your past. I want to say this because I want you to know that I wasn't blind to who you used to be. I knew him and I knew the person you became after him. I got to see all the pains you went through and all the hopes you saw like stars. I got to see all of you!

[ He got to feel all of him. The fondness etched into Red's voice doesn't waver, but the underlying melancholy to be expected is there, in the corners of his words and the dip of the smile on his face. Letting someone in as emotionally close as that would have scared him in the past, but now he's lost it, would he ever experience it again? Would he know that type of bond with another human being?

It would be sad not to.

The thoughts creates a beat in his words, adding a weight adds to Red's voice, but the tone isn't yet dismissed as he continues. ] I remember him, and I remember you ...and I miss you. You showed me how strongly two people can connect to one another, and how much it hurts when you lose them. I never got to experience it this bad until recently. How empty and lost it feels.
