[He feels alive again, and he hates it. That's really what all of this boils down to, in the end.
It's not as dramatic a change as it was the first time — going from weightless and useless and helpless back to flesh and blood and bone — but it feels like that anyway, which is its own special brand of bullshit. It's a reminder of how much he really misses it, the feeling of being alive; from the basic-ass shit like breezes and sunshine, down to the pain and discomfort, overstretched muscles and split knuckles and a bruised jaw.
He wants to move, feels the pull in his gut, but there's nowhere to go yet. He wants to stop falling for the stupid illusion, thoughtless moments of relishing in the feeling of being back in his body, but this place won't stop dangling it in front of him. He's frustrated. He's stressed. He's bored.
It is, unfortunately, now everyone else's problem.]
i → the city
[He doesn't particularly like spending time in the city — it's creepy and empty and, most of all, there's nothing to do — but he feels less antsy when the River is out of his eyeline, so here he is. He's found a rubber handball from somewhere, some place depressing like a room that might've once belonged to a kid younger than him, the sort of thing that's small enough to throw but dense enough to bounce.
He's set up in one of the smaller squares, away from where the lion's share of the souls have chosen to gather, and is playing catch with himself: lounged up in some corner, bouncing the ball off the stone frame above an entrance on the opposite wall.
Until, eventually, the force of his frustration finally cracks a weakness in the stone. The ball flies off at a random angle, and there's a shower of dirt and rocks, maybe or maybe not directly on your head, depending.]
Damn. [He sees you there now, whoever you are, and pops up to properly sitting. Is he going to apologize? lmao] Yo, you got eyes on where the ball went?
ii → the river
[It's difficult for him not to lean into antsyness, though. At some point he does prowl his way back down to the banks of the River, pacing restlessly along the shoreline. It has all the making's of a trap, this dragging hook bidding him to follow, but sometimes it's better to just let the trap go off and be done with it, right?
His mood is more overtly sour, if you catch him down here. He pauses his pacing only long enough to point, down the flow of the water.]
What's stopping us from just swimming it, huh? All this waiting is bullshit.
iii → wildcard
[or choose your own adventure!!]

She's watched Yusuke fidget and sulk and kick stones etc, expressing all the unease and nervous energy she hasn't let herself show. At last she says something.]
Boy, you're becoming especially obnoxious.
[She hesitates, and pulls a deep breath, sighing most of it from out of her mouth. Some of the lungful of air hisses from the perforations in her chest and back, where her sword had gone all those centuries ago. Can they hurt and be hurt, now? Going into the Crossing injured seems like a bad idea. But-
In the exact same casual, non-irritated tone as she might say 'You wanna talk about it?' Need goes on:]
You wanna fight about it?

It bounces off his knuckles and goes bouncing off into the rubble.]
Somewhere back over there.
[He jerks his chin to indicate a place somewhere over his shoulder.]
