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.

[Yua. Neeshka. Levi. Sansa. Joscelin. Each name lands like a blow. Confirmations of suspicions, given the party and attempts to reach them and yet. His response is several long moments coming.]

Thank you, Armin. It is kind of you. Do we know if any new portals have been sighted since the change in liminal space?

[neverfeltthatway]

...Not that I know of, no.

[willyousee]

All right. Thank you, Armin. You did not have to do this.

Someone has to. [No hesitation or uncertainty there, if perhaps a tinge of bitterness, small enough that he himself hasn't even noticed.]
