[OOC] Brief state of the union
Just a note for anyone who ends up threading with Raidou for the time being:
Now that Narumi has left camp, Raidou is feeling more than a little bereft. He's missing Narumi, obviously, but he is also completely without any sort of guiding figure for possibly the first time in his life. When he was younger, he had his teachers; in the Capital, it was Gouto, Narumi, and Tae; and in camp, it was Narumi. Now he has... well, no one. Dean is more of an older brother figure, and the demons are supposed to be taking marching orders from him, not the other way around.
Complicating matters is the fact that Alice has just lost Hatter - who was essentially an alternate universe version of her "uncle" Belial - and Raidou is trying desperately not to crack while simultaneously trying to help Alice through losing someone she loved (in her Alice-y way). This is obviously doing absolutely nothing for Raidou's own mental state. He will be doing his best to pretend that nothing is wrong and he is coping just fine, thank you, while trying to distract himself by training until he drops because it's better than having time to think. Perhaps paradoxically, he may attempt to pull back from friends in camp.
He will eventually adjust - hopefully sooner rather than later, because I really don't want to overdo this - but right now he's not doing so well. The demons, needless to say, are Concerned.
