Part of me hoped that there was some other explanation. But I knew there probably wasn't.

It's happened before, but it still feels really heartbreaking.

Still, I'm sure he's fine. Hopefully we'll all be able to see one another soon enough, one way or the other.

Yeah...I've heard the feeling from the bond breaking passes with time, but I'll really miss having him around.

[And it's easy to want to agree with that, but he knows one person who'll have trouble seeing him again if it's back home.]

...Well, there's always a chance he'll come back, I guess.

[Ah... right. Her and her big mouth. It feels weird to have not considered it first. It's a little unsettling how normal everything's felt for a while now.]

It's been a while. It certainly feels... empty.

Well, if anyone could find his way back, it would probably be Rean.

Yeah...that's true. And now that he knows we're here, there's no way he'd just leave us here on our own if he can help it.

Yeah, I think so too.

It's a shame we never got to take him to the open-air baths together though.

Maybe we should all go together sometime, the whole house.

Yeah, it is. I was looking forward to that.

Well...guess there's no reason why not.

[Takes the date element out of it, but oh well cat's out of the bag anyway]

After this I think we could probably all use it.

[Hey, at least it will still be a surprise if Rean comes back.]

You're not wrong....

Maybe in january, sometime after Crow's party.

That sounds like a good idea. It’ll be nice to fight off some of the cold too.

[Then, privately she sends him a message.]

I’m a little worried about Crow, so I’m going to go check on him. I know he’s not fine— none of us are. I’ll let you know how it goes.

[He replies to the private message, making sure it's filtered properly]

That's a good idea, I'm worried about him too.

Leave it to me. I’m sure he probably already suspects this kind of thing from me anyway.

But if I need help I’ll let you know.

Aha, sure, but I don't think you'll need my help. You got more experience with him than I do.

I just hope it’s enough.

Take care of yourself too. I can come see you when I’m finished if the company would help.

Would company help you?

You're feeling the same pain I am Towa. What do you need?

Probably more than a quart of ice cream.

So. Yeah. If you don't mind.

I don't really want to be alone tonight.

[She knows nothing good would come of thinking and crying on her own.]

Haha, I don't know, ice cream is pretty healing.

But alright. In that case, where should we stay tonight? [MY ROOM, YOURS, SOMEWHERE ELSE?]

If we don't finish it, I'll bring it along.

When I'm finished talking to Crow, I'll come to your room.

[There's really no need to try and hide anything from the house anymore after all. It's too late for that.]

Ah alright.

I might be in the middle of working on music, so go ahead and let yourself in.

[Because otherwise there's a good chance he will not hear her]

Heehee, duly noted.

I'll try not to distract you too much.

Haha, no please do. You might be in for a boring night otherwise.

[He knows how he can be. It's so easy to get lost in the music for hours]

Please, I don't mind. But if you're sure.

Completely sure. I want to spend time with you.

Okay— I’ll see you soon then.

Yeah, see you soon!
