Oh...

[She's only been here for two weeks at the most, so she doesn't really get how people can just up and leave.]

[usedjunes]

Gone? W-what do you mean?

[brbmanlytears]

She went home. Out of Johto.

Yayoi [video] / Neku [audio]

[10yen_idol]

She... [Yayoi almost literally deflates a little at that. Chie WAS one of the first people she'd met here, after all...]

Uuu... s-she didn't leave a message, did she? Or... um...
