[his suitcase is at the entrance of the SEES dorms, and he's buttoning up his jacket to leave]

[is coming down the stairs; sees the suitcase, sees Souji, and does the math]

... ah...

[isthisourchance]

It's not gonna be the same without him, is it?

[hardlyboy]

It was the same the first time he left Inaba, was it not? We continued our lives as before, but there was something inexplicably missing.

[isthisourchance]

Yeah, exactly. All it took was a year for him to become such an important part of all our lives...

[hardlyboy]

... I expect then, that we will do as we did before-- simply continue.

[isthisourchance]

Right. We gotta just... keep doing our best here, until we get out too.

[grin] And Souji-kun's counting on us to solve this place's mystery, right?

[hardlyboy]

Precisely. I don't intend to take this as an opportunity to become complacent in the investigation.

[isthisourchance]

That's the spirit! And I'm always here to help out! As much as I can, anyway. [sheepish laugh]

[hardlyboy]

Thank you, Chie-senpai. Your help will not be taken for granted.

[isthisourchance]

Great! Just let me know any time you need me!

[hardlyboy]

Ah... actually, there is something I wanted to mention to you.

[isthisourchance]

Oh, really? What's that? [she is ALL EARS]

[hardlyboy]

Er, well, it's-- not specifically related to the investigation, but it's still something I-I feel you ought to be aware of. Erm... well, you might have noticed a-a woman spending some time in the dorms before. She's rather tall, and has pointed ears, and her hair is indigo.

[isthisourchance]

Um... Yeah, that sounds familiar. I don't think I've had a chance to talk to her yet, though! Is she a friend of yours?

[hardlyboy]

[nods]

Her name is Judith. She is-- well, she is... my, ah, my girlfriend.

[isthisourchance]

Oh. [give her a second] ...Oh! I, uh -- w-wow. Uhh, congratulations!
