Souji blinked, not expecting to be rushed the moment he walked in but... Chie. Despite the tired look on his face, he smiled genuinely. Because of all the chaos, he hadn't been able to look for the girl at all. In fact, the whole team was pretty scattered because of this. Nevertheless, to say he was relieved to see her was an understatement. "Hey, Chie."

Souji himself had seen better days. The back of his shirt was ripped up by a nasty fall, with scars to show for it. He obviously lacked sleep, and stress pulled on his brow- faintly reminiscent of his uncle. But the most noticeable change in his appearance were the pair of orange headphones around his neck, usually seen on someone else.

Chie recognized the headphones as Yousuke's immediately. He was never without those stupid things, even while fighting Shadows in the dungeons of the TV World back home in Inaba. They looked even more garish than usual now, wrapped around Souji's neck instead. Chie caught her breath in her throat as a sick, sinking weight dropped into the pit of her stomach, and a number of jumbled thoughts all filled her head at once.

No ... no, it can't be ... not real ...

"Souji-kun ... what happened?" Even after so much time had passed (and it felt even longer than the actual concrete measure), she still didn't really know what exactly was going on in the city, much less what had transpired with him. There had been garbled, incomplete messages and rumors of worse monsters than were usual for Discedo. Souji looked positively awful.

Chie's gaze snapped back to the orange headphones - Yousuke's headphones. "Wh-where's Yousuke?" She dreaded hearing the answer, but she needed to know.

Souji lowered his eyes a little, his bangs hanging over. The bright orange against his pale skin- the look didn't suit him at all. It clashed with his hair and his white shirt; it stood out too much. But it only made his death more apparent.

"Can we sit down first? I'm pretty tired," Souji smiled thinly. He didn't think he could give the news like this.

"S-sit? Oh ... um, OK." Chie quickly scanned the interior of the restaurant for a pair of available chairs, spotting exactly two at the far end of the bar. She pointed them out to Souji. "There. Can - can you walk OK?"

Something wasn't right; Chie could sense that much. The way the sinking feeling in her gut had decided to knit into knots didn't feel like much of a good omen, either. While it was true she was prone to panicking ... it wasn't always without good reason.
