Phase I;

[It feels like only a short while ago when Mitsuru had been surprised to see him alive, and an even shorter time when the both of them had last heard from Shinjiro. That of course was the last thing Minato had in mind as he made his way through the swamp carefully, trying not to pay too much attention to his healthy living clothes (He eats well and sleeps a lot, give him a break!)...as such he's caught unawares when he sees someone with a familiar haircut sitting on a log, and he wonders briefly if this is another of CERES' tricks.

> Call out to him
> Approach quietly
> Just let him be

Minato's not about to take any chances even if it might be one of ViViD's traps so he opts to call out for his friend, reasoning that approaching him might just startle him.]
