28: Lost another one (forward date to May 7th morning) [voice]

[needsteaplz]

[Saori was tired the other night and spent with Kaiji, skipping the Dark Hour. When Saori woke up this morning, she was the only one in bed. She snatched up her phone and looked at the contact list for a specific name.

Gone.

No. No. Damn it, not this again! First Ingrid, then the Baron, and now him....

Once she calms down, she turns on the feed.]

I know there's some people who were expecting the cafe to open soon but, it's going to be delayed for a few more days due to the past events. I'm sorry for the inconvience. It's just....

[Her voice cracks and she struggles to keep herself from crying.]

Kaiji's gone.

[She turns off the feed before anyone could hear anymore of her as she breaks down again.]

Comments

[hachitaro]

[... Oh. He doesn't really know her, but it's kind of obvious what's going on.]

Hey. Do you need anything?

[needsteaplz]

T-thank you, but I just a little time. How've you been? I kinda lost touch with you after you woke your Persona.

[He wouldn't be able to tell, but she does weakly smile.]

[hachitaro]

I've been okay. Mostly just wandering around... taking classes... sleeping through classes...

[Still...]

Hey, do you want some company or anything?

Voice

[parkouring]

[Aww, you poor thing. So sad...]

[Sadly, Izaya's a dick and he'll try to remind you about this matter whenever he can... later, since he doesn't have complete clue about Prospero.]

Ah, that was tragic.

[Saori might be reminded of Naoya's voice here, but if she never talked with him, this will be a brand new voice.]

Voice

[needsteaplz]

[Strangely enough she hadn't talked to Naoya yet. Oh well, this is going to turn out well.]

Thing is, I knew this sort of thing would happen eventually but it just took me by surprise.

I've put him through so much trouble and then. I just hope he's doing alright back home.

[Video]

[crownedexorcist]

[Gone. Allen check the phone number and see Kaiji's name missing from the contact list.]

...Miss Saori, do you want company?

[Voice]

[needsteaplz]

...A little company wouldn't hurt, actually. You know where my room is, right?

Voice

[just_as_planned]

*This is the most convincingly faked concern.*

Are you going to be alright?

Voice

[needsteaplz]

[And of course she buys it.]

I just...need a little time to recover. I knew when I went out with him, there would be a possibility either of us might completely leave here. It's just I didn't expect it like this.

[voice]

[namedforcat]

[He knows that tone of voice all too well]

Saori...what happened? [Well he knows what happened but this is to get her talking.]

[voice]

[needsteaplz]

Kaiji's no longer on Prospero...he's back home. He's not in the contacts list anymore and he's not the type to go out without telling me.

[ voice ]

[blindknight]

... You gonna be okay?

[ voice ]

[needsteaplz]

I will, somehow. I'm not a stranger to a loss like this.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

What? No way!

[needsteaplz]

It's true. It means Kaiji's gone home now. I knew it would happen given the nature of this place but it was sudden and only after I recently came back.

[greyerrant]

I'm sorry, I know it is hard to lose a comrade.
[ because garviel doesn't get love. ]

[needsteaplz]

Thank you. I just need a little more time. I know Kaiji wouldn't want me to keep crying forever like this.

[voice]

[king_of_heroes]

...No matter how you might feel at the moment, know that you aren't alone.

[voice]

[needsteaplz]

Thank you, Gilgamesh. I'll manage somehow like how I've always done before.

[video]

[doudemoe]

[He starts in voice...but then decides he should stick with video.]

...I'm sorry.

[voice]

[needsteaplz]

Thanks. I'll make it through this somehow. How've you been?

Voice

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Kaiji? No!

Voice

[needsteaplz]

I'm sorry, Sakurako. I know you were close with Kaiji.

[Voice] super late 'cause I'm always super late

[seeslights]

[Rapunzel hasn't been here long enough to know who Kaiji is, but there's no mistaking the distress in Saori's voice, and her own voice is quiet and sympathetic]

It's okay if you don't want company right now, but... I can bring you something nice to eat, if you like.

[Voice]

[needsteaplz]

Oh, no, I don't to impose on you. Then again, I've been too tired lately...so yes, if you have time, I would like something to eat. Thank you.
