[ There is a brief pause, lasting about five whole seconds before this SFC's owner says anything. ... It'll likely wait for at least three rings before the voicemail clicks on. ]

❝... This is Naoya. If you need something, then leave a message. If it's urgent, then send me a text instead; I'm not about to pay attention to fifty thousand messages.❞

IC

[angelphones]

[There's a brief pause while he considers whether to leave this message and then - ]

... I want to talk to you.

IC | I am the latest :c

[first_scorned]

... You may wish to talk, but I rather have no desire to listen.

[ Don't think he hasn't sensed the change in Vatheon, little brother. There is a reason he has been avoiding this, but it... may be far worse than he realizes.

That tone was not good at all. ]

IC | You are but ilu. :3

[angelphones]

... Why do you have to be like that?

[He just wants to help you, he wants to understand...]

IC | ;;;; ♥

[first_scorned]

... Didn't I tell you I don't wish to speak with you?

[ You aren't even his--unless he's converted or something. ]

What right do you have to be His little puppet? Do you truly believe that this will benefit humanity, snatching away their free will? I cannot believe you would fold to that girl and her angel. It sickens me.

[This is ridiculous and she is nervous and for the love of-- why is she nervous?

Inhale.]

Naoya? Alright, this is sudden, I admit but... You taking visitors right now?

[Voice]

[first_scorned]

... Do whatever you want, Saya. I've no control over your actions as is, anyway.

[ That's a yes. His voice sounds a bit... more emotionless than the usual, even. Flatter; more forcibly even. ]

[video --> action]

[sweeperesque]

[. . .

She can't really argue, so she just laughs. Nodding.]

Then... I'll be there in a bit.

Sorry if I'm pulling you away from something.

[But that's all she'll apologize for. Click!

Then, not too long after, there's a knock on his door. She'll be kind enough not to pick the lock this time around. It's not... that urgent.]

Naaoooyaaaa~

Naoya, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you.

[Action/written] Idk

[redcloakedthief]

[After this. Matthew is still angry, but he only wanders aimlessly for a few minutes before he realizes that he still has Naoya's COMP on him; he had been going to give it back, but then...

A sigh.

A few moments later he breaks into Naoya's house, leaving the COMP and a neatly written note beside it on his desk.]

Sorry. I forgot didn't get to give this to you earlier.

I know you need it. Take care of yourself

[And then he locks up and leaves.]

Hello, Naoya-san. It's Minato. I have a few questions to ask, if you aren't too busy and have the time to spare. Thank you.

[first_scorned]

[ ... Ah? Something's happened, hasn't it. ]

Depending on the content of your questions, I may be inclined to answer.

[Video]

[lunateclock]

[WELL, yes, but partially this is just for him. But he'll just be upfront about it, since hiding things from Naoya is a lost cause and he recognizes that.]

To be honest, I realized recently that I don't know very much about the demons in Katsu-kun's body. I was just curious to know the history behind them.

[He dislikes being ignorant, after all.]

[first_scorned]

[ ... His expression becomes unreadable here. How much he knows... well.

Naoya's answer is immediate, however. ]

... To be completely honest, it was an expected development. I'm surprised, beyond killing me, he hasn't lost control yet.

[ That he might have difficulty controlling those demons. ]
