She's been gone for a couple days now, and her frequency's off the network... so it looks like Shiki's been sent back to Shibuya. She'll be doin' all right back there, if I recall correctly.

About her box of cloth... anybody takin' over that sewing club she had planned? Wanna look after it? Materials oughta be used properly.

How's that cold of yours doin', Catnip?

Must have been.

Are you still exploring?

[audio; Japanese]

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

Not quite.

I've arranged for your chip to removed by the Shinigami that assisted me with mine. I'm currently paying off part of the exchange.

...

Thanks, Joshua. That's Watari Yutaka, right?

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

Correct. He has a lab in the high school. I'd suggest waiting until your leg is healed, but as it stands, he can probably manage it soon.

It shouldn't be more than another week or two before my leg's healed enough to walk on, in any case.

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

We'll discuss the details then, I suppose.

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

All right.

I owe ya one for this, Josh.

.......

Hm. Do you, now? I believe we'd made a deal regarding this as well.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

I didn't expect you to be so prompt about it... especially when you've been avoiding your own apartment for this long.

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

As I've said, I've been out getting things done.

Also, I return to sleep and check on Neku even if he isn't awake to notice.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Why are you avoiding Phones?

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

.............I'm not, quite.

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Well... he doesn't think he's seen you in a couple weeks.

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

He told me he doesn't want to be involved in whatever little mess I have involved myself in.

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

So why are you listening to him this time?

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

Because it's in my personal interest to do so. He should consider himself lucky, don't you think?

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[this is just a sigh.]

I think Phones'd be surprised to realize you're not immovable.

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

We have timeline to blame for that. Though I do hope you don't go ruining his worldview, Sanae, or you'll end up making things much worse than they already are.

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

I won't. You might, though. He's a bright kid.

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

That won't matter, so it's pointless to concern myself with it.

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

You've already heard what I'd have to say to that, J.

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

Have I really. I believe we're speaking about different things.

[audio; Japanese | locked]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

What I'm saying is that if Neku realizes you're hurt, the only reason it'd not matter is that you're still shuttin' yourself away.

And that I had my say on that topic.

So what are you saying?
