Hello, everyone. I... I have the list of those who have vanished. [For once, Armin doesn't use his image when making a broadcast, and he's definitely shorter and more terse than normal. It's definitely unusual, for him - but anyone who knows him well enough to notice might figure out why as soon as he starts reading off the names.]

Ivan. Levi. Joscelin. Yua. S-sansa. Adachi. Neeshka. Hitsugaya. Sera - umm, the unfriendly one. And Xaldin.


[Locked to former Illuminated]

I heard some of what happened during the walkabout. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear more about it from each of you in person. When you're feeling up for it.

[Naoki already knew Levi-san was gone - he'd caught sight of U going to Naoto - but the list is still a double punch to the gut. He'd talked to both Yua and Adachi-san, he knows they made it back from the jaunt all right, but...

Well. Seems he can't keep a sister in his life. But he can't let himself get hung up on that forever; it'd do all of them a disservice.]

...I hope she doesn't come back, this time. I don't think she could bear it.

[neverfeltthatway]

...Yeah.

[It's just a thought, now, not even his voice. And the answer is reluctant, because he's not sure he hopes she doesn't come back - that would depend on what he thinks happens to her if she doesn't - and his opinion on that is different than most of the Travelers'. But that's a discussion he rarely has, and now is not the time for it, for either of them. He'll let the boy believe what he wants.]

Man. I... I just hope she's okay, now. She only told me how bad things were when we were in the mountains.

[leftbehindagain]

Me too, but I'd had an idea of where her mind was for a little longer.

[Hopefully she's home and she'll be able to recover.]

[creativefool]

Yeah. Damn - I wish I'd been able to help...

[leftbehindagain]

So do I.
