[Mithos is definitely not aware that his Dreamberry is on yet. Some sounds of frantic searching can be heard before he even says anything:]

Genis?! Genis, why aren't you here?! Why...?!

[A good way to meet new people (though maybe not ideal circumstances), Lelouch decides to answer this question. He has been through this several times, having a sibling or a close friend leave Somarium to return to their world, and it never gets easier but at least he has come to understand what is happening and why (sort of) it does.

Somarium doesn't care about permanence, people come and go like the wind. They could be sitting beside you, talking about what you're going to do one day or something that happened last week, only to disappear later that afternoon. It was difficult at first, he recalls, he spent days searching for his sister or for his knight who had been within arms reach the day before.]

Perhaps your companion has returned to their home? That usually seems to be the case when a person has gone missing in Somarium.

[When he realizes the Dreamberry had been on, it is only means to worsen Mithos' state of mind, especially after hearing the response given.]

No. No. He... can't be... he can't be gone.

[Deny it. Deny it like he should have denied that Genis meant anything to begin with, especially after he sided with Lloyd and betrayed him. This place has made him pathetically weak as it was.]

[A minute before Lelouch responds.]

Check the contact list on your Dreamberry. If his name is no longer there, then it's likely his days in Somarium are over and he has returned to his home.

[Hesitation... he does it, despite his better judgment.

...snap.]

No. No. No...!
