[He really doesn't like the sound of this. He doesn't really know these people -- but still. "Single again" is enough to get through to him that this is bad news.]

They're really screwing with us all lately, taking so many people like this...

Ah... *He is... visibly drooping upon hearing him say 'so many people'... He doesn't like the idea of trying to make his loss seem greater than anyone else's... This happens all the time after all.*

That's true, huh...? Still... it's... kind of hard to believe those two are gone...

S-sorry to hear it, dude. [Yosuke can sympathize to a certain extent. Not to that extreme -- but Naoto and Yukiko are like extended family in a way, so it's been tough for him lately too.] But... hey. They're probably... better off back where they belong, right?

... yeah... They probably are. Asuka-san has her studies she can get back to focusing on... And Mitsuru--*He trails off, pulling the Ninetales in his arms a bit closer.* ... If nothing else, I'm sure she'll be able to break off her engagement to find someone she really cares for... Someone more suited for her than me...

[He falls quiet for a minute, expression falling. He's not sure what he should say -- what he even can say, not knowing Hayate or anyone else he's talking about all that well. But there is one thing that resonates with him; he picks up on this much.]

Dude, no. [Hearing "engagement" is a bit of a shock in itself, being vaguely aware of who Mitsuru is, but he won't comment on that.] If -- if you two were together... that's not like, some small thing. You know? She obviously wanted to be, so. I mean, putting yourself down about it because she's gone is kinda weak...

*Hayate lets out a small, strained chuckle at that... If there's one thing that he's sure of in his head, it's that she'll be happier with someone other than him.*

That's... I mean... I always knew I wouldn't be "the one" for her or anything like that... I never even fully understood just what it was that I did to get her to like me... But... Regardless of that, I just... If she can break things off with her arranged marriage because of the time she spent with me...

*Another squeeze of the fox, who lets out a small whine.* That's... that's enough for me. I'm not selfish enough to want her back... If she's happy, that's better, right?

Well, if she was with you? Dude, it doesn't really matter, because she obviously liked you that much. [He shrugs a little. He's pretty shitty at matters of the heart, especially when it comes to himself -- he gets the sentiment and the self-deprecation in it, though.]

But... yeah. I mean, if you know she'll be happier or whatever back in her world, there's not much else to it. Aside from it majorly sucking on this end.

I'm positive that she'll be happier once she settles things back home... That was something that weighed pretty heavily on her, I think...

*He shakes his head a bit, trying to cast off any doubts about that he might have. He wants to believe it, after all.* There's a lot of that going around though. Johto being... um... sucky, I mean...

[He's not sure there's much else he can say. It's not like with the people he's closer with, where he at least has some semblance of knowing what to say, or how the missing people actually were as people.]

Yeah. It's weird... a lot of people have disappeared lately. And then there's all that other stuff. It feels like something's up.

*Right now, just having people to talk to like this is enough for him. It helps keep him from dwelling on who is missing too much, if nothing else...*

It's a really brutal thinning of the ranks... At least we haven't had a weather disaster on top of all this...

Not yet, at least. [He does look wary, though.] I just wonder if there's actually a reason for it, you know?

... maybe Johto just grows tired of people sometimes...

It's still a lot really close together, though. I've been hearing at least two or three people a day, practically. For a few weeks now...

R... Really...? I didn't know it was that bad...

It makes me feel a bit better about calling this a horrible month, if nothing else...

I'm pretty sure a lot of people would agree with you about that part.

Aha... Y-Yeah, that's true... Especially after the incident with the train...

*He pauses for a moment, before chiming in with something else entirely:* Do you like the upcoming holiday season?
