Hey. [It's a warmer greeting than the last time by any standards, and not nearly so formal anymore. Yosuke's voice is a little tight, but it's clearly not aimed at Souji.] We should probably talk.
Um. If you see Chie...just don't mention me to her, alright? I'll explain later.
Hmm? [Yawn.] No, it's the middle of the afternoon. Hah. I was just. Um.
[Sigh.]
Anyway, Chie is here. I gave her your number...she.
[Silence. Just the sounds of breathing and some shuffling while he sits up and runs a hand through his hair and then over his face.]
She came from somewhere else than home. And I guess wherever it was, I wasn't there. But she knows everyone else, so I guess it's just one of those things. I don't understand it, but it doesn't seem like she does either.
I figured she'll probably need some help settling in though, and I [a weird, nervous bark of a laugh] it's just probably best if it's you or Shirogane who helps. For now. You know?
Wha- no! I-I meant later. Definitely not today. Or this week. The first week I was here I spent most of it curled in a ball on the couch sleeping with all the lights on. You can't just spring this on her, too.
It's not a stretch in a place like this for you to have known her. So long as she can understand about the multiple universes concept, she'll probably understand.
Um. If you see Chie...just don't mention me to her, alright? I'll explain later.

[You caught him napping after work, so his voice is thick and uneven.]
Mmm. 'Sup?

I was calling you back about your voicemail that you left me earlier.

A-anyway, that was all I called to tell you.

Yosuke...
[He was clearly bothered by it, that much he could tell, but he couldn't think of anything to say in comfort.]
She was probably pulled from an alternate universe.
[A pause.]
There's no reason why she can't get to know you.

[It's way too breezy, this time. Instant. Welcome to Junes, have you seen our sales in produce today?]
Just thought you'd need a heads up, dude.
