Hello, everyone. [Though overwhelmed when he first returned, now Armin is calm and composed - nearly solemn, almost military in the way he goes about this. He doesn't enjoy this task, but he takes it very seriously.] I'm sorry it took longer than usual, with everything that happened. [Being sent on a different jaunt, not knowing if he'd see any of his friends ever again.] But... I have the list of people who vanished over the course of the last jaunt and haven't come back.

[He takes a deep breath, then begins the list - slowly and clearly, with a small pause between every name.]

Damian Wayne. Jason Todd. Neria Surana. Lucina. Ryuunosuke Ibuki. Sanosuke Harada. Connor Graham. Labrys. Nick Burkhardt. Phèdre nó Delaunay. Oona. Ken Amada. Junpei Iori. Yoon Yoorae. Chizuru Yukimura. Inigo. Takakage Kobayakawa. Janos Audren.

...

I'm sorry. If anyone has any questions, I'll do my best to answer.

[It takes an effort - more than he's comfortable admitting - but for a moment there's the sensation of fingertips brushing Armin's hand.]

Thank you. If I am in need, I will seek you out. I know where your room is located. Unless you changed it this time?

[Humor is difficult when inflection is limited.]

N-no, it's still in the same place. [Humor is also difficult when you're Armin.]

Then never fear; I'll not forget.

[He won't try to find anyone this time, but he will be spending a little more time in the window seat of his room this liminal space.]
