[ Now, Ryuji didn't mean to start stalking Nikaidou after their run-in in the metaverse. But he shared with the other Phantom Thieves what happened and got tasked with trying to at least get the guy to come talk to the others, even if he didn't want to join up. They couldn't just let another metaverse user run around without knowing the dangers of the metaverse, right? It all seemed reasonable at the time.
Except then he didn't know how to approach the guy and started to get nervous so just lingered around the outskirts of everything. When his practice started up, it seemed kind of cool so Ryuji found himself watching, ducking back into hiding whenever someone spotted him. He didn't realize how distracting he was being either, just wanting to get some time alone with Nikaidou.
Of course, then Nikaidou disappears from the practice and Ryuji is a little startled, trying his best to figure out where he went when instead — he's cornered by the other boy and Ryuji has to give it up. ]
I — I was just — I mean I didn't want to bother you — so I was just — uh.
