[Is it possibly for a mental voice to sound giddy? Because there's a distinct giddy tinge to By's thoughts, for all that his words come out with his normal, lazy, lightly Russian-accented drawl.]

Byerly Vorrutyer here. We're on Earth, pre-spaceflight, although someone who isn't me will need to get a better read on the actual date and location. Linguistically, it's a hodgepodge. I can hear archaic Russian, a whole host of Asiatic and Romance languages, and something else I can't quite place.

If you can "hear" this, check in. We need to know who we've got to work with.

I mean, normally we're just tossed in and told good luck.

[Adachi paused, and if there was a way to convey squirming over the Headnet, he was definitely doing that. He just didn't know how exactly to approach this, so he was just going to come out with it.]

...so you're Saki's 'Hana-chan', right?

[There's a long passage of silence. Long enough that t might seem that he isn't going to respond at all. And when he does if it's possible there's a kind of a tone of can we not to the words.]

Yeah...I am.

[Yeah... don't think he doesn't notice that pause. It brings a faint, sad smile to his face, even though he can't see it.]

...heh. It'll be good working with the guy she likes so much.

If you need help, give me a buzz, kid.

I think you've got the wrong Saki. She only tolerated me

So buzz you if I somehow manage to get arrested. Gotcha.

Er... well, we'll probably need to talk about that. But later.

And you'll be fine. Just be you.

[...probably bad advice since he doesn't really know the kid, but if Saki had such faith in him, maybe it'd be fine?]

Yeah sure, later.

If you say so. Can't go much worse than anything I guess.

W-well, it probably can get worse, but right now we can rest easy at least.

[There's an awkward pause.]

Uh... I dunno how well you know me in your timeline, but... I'm Adachi Tohru. Looking forward to working with you.

That's not very reassuring.

You're Doujima-san's partner, sometimes you gave us convenient bits of information that we wouldn't have been able to get otherwise. Didn't talk to you a whole lot outside of that time I got me and Yu-kun arrested for having fake weapons in public.

...yeah.

[Adachi fell quiet for a long moment, and it was hard to miss the disappointment in his voice. Though whether directed at Yosuke or himself, it was hard to tell.]

...guess "I" was real helpful.

We wouldn't have gotten anywhere after Yukiko or Mitsuo went missing if not for your help.

[He feels a little sick at the thought. He was pretty sure that "help" wasn't actually helping...]

Mitsuo? Who's that?

Mitsuo Kubo, he was your suspect in the death of King Mor- Kinshiro Morooka, one of my teachers at Yasogami High.

Wha-- you mean like a separate suspect from the rest of the murders?

...hunh. That's weird. Morooka was part of the murders in my timeline.

Yeah. He took credit for them all, but it was really easy to prove he didn't once Nanako-chan was kidnapped.

Yeah that is weird.
