[ souji expected something like a headbutt since headbutts seem to be minato's speciality so when minato leaps onto his back, he's surprised and he stumbles a few steps forward from not properly planting his feet on the ground. he doesn't reach to hold onto minato's leg for a proper piggyback and he just turns his head slightly to look at him ]

...?

[ is this all or is this just a way for minato to choke him? also if souji doesn't hold onto minato's legs to properly hoist him on his back, will minato just hang there with his arms wrapped around souji, hang onto him like a koala, or will he just lazily fall to the ground ]

[compendiem]

[ A piggyback ride was supposed to be zero effort on Minato's part and this is the opposite... He is definitely holding on as best as he can with his arms over Souji's shoulders and gradually slipping the longer Souji doesn't help him up. Before that can happen, he nudges the tip of his shoe against the back of Souji's knee, as if to convey... something... "Walk," maybe, or at least bend his knees so that Minato won't fall from 243786 in the air. ]

[tarotcards]

[ what if souji just decides to bend over at a 45-degree arc so that minato is practically just lying on his back now? how about that?? ]

What sort of death ritual is this?

[compendiem]

[ Even better than a piggyback ride, because then he can lie flat and not worry about holding on. ]

You're too tall. I'm weighing you down so I can bring you to hell with me.

[tarotcards]

[ then this is the position that souji will keep, even if this will probably do terrible things to his back and hip ]

Oh no, I can't go to hell. I promised Granny Smith that I'd be a good boy and go to heaven to meet her husband.

[ a complete lie ]

[compendiem]

[ It's too bad Minato takes promises very seriously, and now he has to be a Good Senpai and turn Souji down the right path so that he can be with Mr. Smith. ]

Seems like I can't kill you just yet. Got to resolve you of all your sins, first. Let's start with confession.

[tarotcards]

But I have so many sins and so many things to confess. We'll be here for hours.

[ he has so many jokes to tell. how can he just settle on one? ]

[compendiem]

I have hours. I reserved my day for you.

[ And Souji, who will die at the end of it, should be glad to extend his time. ]

Do you know the story, One Thousand and One Nights?

[tarotcards]

Only in name.

[ please elaborate, senpai ]

[compendiem]

[ Oh. He's a bit fuzzy about the actual details of the story, but he takes a moment to collect his thoughts and then summarizes it as best he can. ]

It goes like this: Once upon a time, there was a mass murderer on the loose. One day, the murderer caught a young girl. Pleading for her life, she decides to tell him a never-ending story. Curious as to how the story plays out, the murderer keeps her alive so that she can continue the story the next night. This goes on for about a week, before the murderer catches onto what she's doing, and beheads her. He goes on to slaughter hundreds of innocents over the next one thousand and one nights, before he is finally taken into custody. The end.

[ There's a moral in there somewhere. ]
