Later in the week...

[Kanji's mental voice is carefully monotone and neutral, here.]

Guys ... we might have a problem. The imperial assholes here are pissed off. I ain't quite sure of everything that's happenin' yet, but ... they never looked like they were here to be our friends.

Looks like this is it. It's us against them.

If anyone can get down south soon enough... well, we could probably use the backup.

[Otherwise... well. He'll be calling from Liminal, he doesn't say.]

[See, Kanji, this is why we needed you there.

...Naoki doesn't say, because that would only exacerbate Kanji's issues.] Meet you in Liminal in an hour?

[truerevelation]

Ngh - I...

[He knows it's the best way, but equally, that's him gone, leaving the people he made a promise to...]

Shit, how'm I gonna do this...

[leftbehindagain]

...crap, I forgot about the cooldown.

Souji-san, maybe we should coordinate so Kanji doesn't have to actually come through and we're both there to help as soon as possible. Once we're there we can help get people through, at least, if anyone else wants to come over.

[fridgeninja]

We can synch our timing.

[leftbehindagain]

Perfect.
