This place is too loud. Too bright. There are too many flashing lights that still confuse him and fill him with anxiety. But two years living in this 'modern' world and Gilbert still hasn't assimilated properly when it comes to all of this technology.

He's been in this arcade a few times before. The first time he'd left with a migraine that he thought would never go away, and the second time he'd embarrassed himself by tripping over a stray power cord and nearly shoving an entire rack of stuffed animals on a small child. He'd caught it before it could do damage, but he'd still fled and promised never to show his face in this place again.

But he can't say no to a friend either. Especially a friend who 1 - he owes, and 2 - wants to continue helping his antiquated way of thinking expand a bit more.

Luckily, no one recognizes him as he stands just inside the entrance waiting for Yosuke to show up, staring down at his feet and trying not to bump into anything or anyone.

Yosuke is running a little late. It's a habit to swing by the diamond even when he's not supposed to be there, just in case some poor soul is standing around confused and terrified. He tries to text Gilbert from the train to let him know, but people keep pushing and shoving and steeping on him, so he gives up and stands between the two narrow poles at the front of the car where most of the passengers can't even squeeze in, let alone shove past. He has to hold his breath when they take a turn, but it's sort of worth it.

By the time he gets to the arcade, he's rubbing his ribs a little where the bars have been bumping them, but he's otherwise pretty cheerful. Finally, he dragged Gilbert out of the mansion for something fun.

He lifts a hand in greeting when he sees Gil. "Yo."
