There's no need for thanks. I'm just throwing out a theory.
[ Still, it was one that he wanted to make as uplifting as possible. Rinne had no idea what happened between Ket and Minato before the explosion, nor did he quite get the gravity of the situation. Still, it seemed like he was feeling at least a little better. ]
Do your best to finish your breakfast. I'm sure you had a rough few days, so resting's a good idea for now.
Yeah, it is. [Minato would have just flopped back onto his bed but for the tray still on his lap, and the questionable food is normal enough that he can tuck into it with gusto. He places the tray aside a while later and sneezes without warning.]
Maris dumped all of us into the river...that was a few days ago, and I still haven't recovered. I hope things were better for you, wherever it was that you were brought to.
[A different part of the jungle? Minato's final destination had been the ocean since he was apparently blessed with the power of water (But not blessed against the cold, unfortunately) and if he had to hazard a guess that would leave Rinne with Earth since a jungle didn't fit in with either Fire or Air.]
The same, huh...we went by a few huts that belonged to the natives, and I don't think the problem was with the air. [Give him a moment to sneeze again.] Most of us got scratched by coral after landing in the river, and I felt like it was easier to breathe after healing myself. [Sticking to facts is just one of Minato's coping mechanisms, and he sure needs it feeling as bad as he does.]
[ His deduction would of course, be completely right. Rinne had thought everyone else had been simply teleported around the jungle, until he had spotted Occidi. It was hard to figure out what had been going on in full, but he had to believe it had something do with the various spirits that had been guiding them everywhere.
So, Minato's had something to do with Water, and his had to do with the Earth, most likely. ]
Did you see any of the spirits as well? We were being led through a forest by one of them.
Yeah, I saw Maris by the beach. [He makes a face, not particularly being overjoyed at Maris having sat around while they were dealing with the Kraken.]
So there's four elements and each of them has their own area, separated from the rest...I wonder what do we have in common with them, since we're the only ones who seem to have been taken from the city.
...you might have a point. [The pause in between is when Minato ponders the meaning of ViViD, since he's talked to Sousei before about how odd it seems that they're supposed to be a safeguard against the Flamines yet the game appears to be more important than doing any defending.]
We were told that we were selected as we passed the test, but what if the test had something to do with the elements too? [They only knew right now that non-Air individuals couldn't survive outside, but what if there's more to it?]
No, I don't think that's it. It's... [A period of silence follows after as Minato attempts to find words to describe what he's thinking since being pulled out from the Nexus Code into reality kind of sounds like Persona summoning, but.
The 'but' here soon followed by closed eyes and a passed-out Minato, because it is in fact too damned early in the morning for him to be making theories when he's still sick and tired. Sorry Rinne, he'll get up again sooner or later.]
[ Hrm. Well... it had been a long week, and it wasn't surprising that Minato was still feeling tuckered out.
Maybe it was the best outcome for now. It was better to rest for now and then think about it later. So, he retreats back to his own room. Hopefully nobody loud and old comes in today. ]

[ No really, that part sucked. He had already technically died once, he'd rather not have to deal with that mess again. ]

[ Followed by what felt like hours of apathy, watching a slideshow... ] Would that be a suitable test?
[ Sigh. It's too early to start considering why CERES brought them here and why the elements were chosen for them... ]
