It makes sense now, why I couldn't find him. He probably returned to his world, just like I'd done before. So maybe, there's still a chance he might come back. He might come back, and then things will be how they were before....

The apartment feels too empty now. I keep making too much food, and preparing an extra bento.

All his stuff is

Your friend is not the only one who disappeared...

I "lost" a friend when I arrived in this City. And I really miss him. It's not the same situation like yours but I can understand how you feel somehow.

I heard that a lot of people have, almost all at the same time. The city's going to feel a lot emptier now.

I've been here for a while; you'd think I would miss things back home. And I did, at the beginning, but with Satoshi-kun here, I was happy.

At least their safe back home, right?

[peacock_prince]

Yes many people vanished without saying "Goodbye" to their friends here... That's true.

Ah... seems that he was a good friend. I'm sure he will be okay.

They are.

By the way, my name is Ayasegawa Yumichika.

[angel_thief]

I guess they couldn't really help it, though.

Maybe someday we'll go back too?

My name's Daisuke Niwa. Nice to meet you, Ayasegawa-san.

I'm sorry that you've lost your friend as well.

I must try to continue to believe that having friends is better than not having friends; and yet if we didn't have friends, then we wouldn't feel such distress when they left... there's no way to win when death and loss stack the deck, is there.

I'd really thought that this was the Promised Land, until people began to die. Foolish of me, I suppose...

[angel_thief]

Even if I never see Satoshi again, and it never stops hurting, I'll still have the memories, memories which I would've never gained if we hadn't become so close. I want to believe that those memories are worth all the pain, I really do.

[katayoku_tenshi]

I hope so as well.

Lady Caterina says that it isn't offensive to diplomacy to ask things like this -- Would it be comforting to tell me your favorite memories of him, or would it be distressing to think of it?

If you would like to share memories, I'd like to listen. I enjoy the opportunity to learn more about how friendships are begun and maintained.

[angel_thief]

Favorite memory? I think it was probably the times we spent walking home.

Satoshi never liked to talk much, so usually we would walk in silence. But....I liked those times, because we got to just spend time with each other, without really worrying about much.

Daisuke-- I regret having to ask this of you so soon, but may I bring another to your appartment? My fiance has just arrived in the city and is in need of a place to stay.

[angel_thief]

I don't mind at all.
