[ it's strange to be back here again. Not that Makoto found being near the ocean to be a particularly odd thing, but it's been a year, and so much has changed since then. They hadn't been as well known back then. They could run down the beach or leap into the ocean or get hit on without fear of being overly crowded (though the latter was mostly Miki). For the time being, staying in the ocean had kept recognition to a minimum, and the other idols had split up to stay low and relax in their own different ways.

In Makoto's case, the ocean was still the place to be, and she's happily trotting towards it after some additional time spent on dry land (mainly keeping the twins from burying the Producer completely). Is she expecting company?

No, but at least she's open to it. ]

[Makoto had not wanted to go to the ocean. He was still...well, he'd never forgotten that time when so many people had drowned so very close to shore, and childhood fears are hard to shake.

But Nagisa had insisted and Haru had actually agreed since it was now warm enough to swim in it, and Makoto couldn't say no after that.

So here he is, smiling faintly as he shades his eyes with one hand and peers out at the ocean, though there's a sense of unease to him despite himself.

Which is why he doesn't recognize the girl that trots right by him at first.]
