[So... Ken doesn't look too happy. Not at all. You could start with the dark purplish bruise on his left cheek, and a cut covered in a band-aid above his right eye. You could also start with the fact he hasn't frowned this deeply in months. He's dressed in a jacket similar to his Gekkoukan uniform, but not the same one. He's

[Clover will just take a seat beside Ken; her hair is fixed again, and a patch of gauze covers the cut on her right cheek. Her fingers are bandaged, and she just gives him a tired smile.

Then she shifts her position; the last one accidentally put some strain on her right ankle.]

You look great. All grown up, even.

And yeah, we really showed them, didn't we?

[He blinks at the compliment. He's a mess, especially under his shirt, which is proven when Rom skitters up his jacket and he grimaces.]

Why would I look different?

[It's not really that important, though.]

... Yeah, we did. But 43 other people didn't.

[Well, she was talking mostly about the pants. And the jacket.]

Might be.

But I think that enough people you know disappear and sometimes it kinda feels like it's something that just happens.

[usedrage]

Nobody from my world ever sticks around. Maybe I should be more upset that they're going home... but I'm not.

I mean, everyone disappears some day, right?

I can kinda see what you mean. They get to on with what they were doing at home and you're still here. But at the same time, I bet you got friends from different places here, too, right? It's kind of a hard thing to think about.

Yeah. I mean, there's no way everyone stays here forever, huh?

Sanada-san and Mitsuru-san have enough to do at home. I'm kind of glad they got to go back, really.

I've been here a long time, but... I know most people haven't. I'm the only Ken Amada who's ever been in Johto, too.

[miniworth]

It's normal for this world, isn't it?

[usedrage]

Mitsuru-san's gone.

[miniworth]

...Is she, now.

[usedrage]

I called her to tell her I was okay. There was a disconnect.

[voice]

[shellderkillder]

... I see you were at the train. [He sighs.]

[voice]

[usedrage]

Half of Johto was.

Were you?

[voice]

[shellderkillder]

No, I was not. Did that many people really attend the event?

[voice]

[usedrage]

There were a lot of people, at least. You're lucky--it was a mess.

Mitsuru-san's gone. Sanada-san's been gone for a while. Koromaru, too.

Is there anybody else left aside from Chidori-san?

I'm fine, except for a few bruises. Nemesis gave me my worst injuries, anyway.
