Um. Hello? This is Bianca.

I know this isn't the best time to be talking about it, but has anyone seen Hilbert? He hasn't been picking up at home...I've been looking for him all morning. There's just a lot going on, so  I figured I should.

I'm sure he's fine, though. He's strong, so...

Hey, don't worry. I'm sure your friend is fine, just busy.

[ It's possible, so it's not a lie! Of course, he doesn't believe it himself, but... ]

[bedroombattling]

Then why can't I find him? He's not at school or at home...where else could he be busy at?

[k1_sauce]

I don't know, but--he'll be fine. You said he's strong, so he'll be fine.

What's important right now is how you're doing.

Is that a friend of yours?

[bedroombattling]

He's one of my two best friends! ...but ever since I got that letter, I haven't heard from him.

[mylife4food]

I am sorry to hear that you have no heard from him. Are you worried?

[bedroombattling]

I am. It's so dangerous out there. Are you going to be okay, Guy?

[backinblackcity]

Me and Holland--he lives at the same house as Hilbert and me--are going to go look for him. ...I know you don't really know me, but be careful, okay?

[bedroombattling]

You...you be careful, too. I don't want anything happening to any of my friends, even if I'm not done getting to know them yet. Um. I mean, well. You know what I mean. It's still kind of funny...but you're important to me, too.

Hey, after all this is over, you, me and Hilbert could go to the malt shop or something. T-that could be fun, right?
