"You've reached Kiyotaka Ishimaru; I seem to have missed you! My sincerest apologies for that - but if you leave your name and state your business, firmly and concisely, I'll return your contact as soon as I can!

Until then, I look forward to speaking to you; do what you can to make your day pleasant and productive, and be sure to keep your head up!"

[Please state in the subject line if OOC planning is preferred and we can handwave like the wind, but otherwise IC will be assumed!]

I'll talk to my brother about it, and see what can be done about contacting the rest.

[A pause, and then a second text.]

Are you all right?

[superordinary]

Not really, to be honest. But whatever happens, I will not lose hope. If this place doesn't bring Fujisaki-kun back, then we will.

[ardent]

Of course we will. I'll do whatever I can to ensure that - I promise.

Is there anything I can do for you now, though?

[superordinary]

Will Oowada-kun be okay?

[ ...That's not really answering the question, but. Naegi isn't sure if Mondo knows he killed Fujisaki since he hasn't talked to him about it, but since Ishimaru figured it out then it's possible that Mondo knows it too by now. ]

[ardent]

I don't think so. We had something of a crisis when he found out about what happened; he seems to have come to terms with it, in a sense, but I don't know how he'll take this. I don't think he'll handle it well, but he might surprise me.

I can handle it if he takes it badly; we'll probably stay where we are for the time being.

[superordinary]

All right. I trust you to be there for him if he needs it.

[ He sends a second text a minute later. ]

Is there anything I can do?

[ He's fully aware that they're in completely different parts of the region and he can't possibly teleport to Ecruteak but he has to ask. ]

[ardent]

Don't worry about us, Naegi-kun; we'll be all right.

We're likely going to return to Goldenrod afterwards; I intend to insist on it, for several reasons. Just stay safe and stay together.

[superordinary]

Okay. We're probably going to leave Azalea soon so let's meet in Goldenrod.

[ardent]

Ah, are you? In that case, I'd like that, yes.

I'm sure everyone will be fine, Naegi-kun; we just need to regroup. I'm going to do what I can to meet with someone to see what I can find out as far as information goes; there's a person here who seems to have some idea of what's going on, and he has a reason to want to locate whatever brings us here as well. I'll see if he has any leads to go off of, and if there's anything I can do to assist on that front.

Fujisaki-kun will come back here someday - as you said, we mustn't lose hope.
