[Despite everything that's been going on, or maybe because things have been so hard, Scott smiles when Mikey opens the door, the familiar sight of his friend soothing some of the guilt that's been lying semi-thick around his shoulders. He'll never fully stop blaming himself for what happened to Deku and Yosuke, but he wasn't useless, being out there was important. He helped Mikey and Kotone and those things alone made the trip worth it.
More people would've been hurt if he wasn't there, right? Maybe he can't make that sort of judgment, but it's what Scott wants to believe.]
Not cramming in your shack today?
[He laughs slightly, but nods, a look of appreciation appearing on his slightly tired face. He's been sleeping okay, mostly, but it's not like he can easily bounce back. As Mikey probably already knows, he's not like him. He's not used to all this.]
