[He got sidetracked for a good while after Sakaki's departure and didn't go see his buddy immediately, but finally, Yosuke is going to go and make sure Mat's doing alright. He's been really quiet on the journal lately, too, and it seems possible the fool really did like that girl so much he turned to drinking, moping, or both after she'd taken off

I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?

[advisortype]

[Delayed response, go!]

...Not unless you know how to bring people back. Or send people home to someplace not their own world.

[selenoscape]

No, I don't, but... Isn't it better that they're home?

[advisortype]

Yeah, yeah I guess... for them, anyway. It wouldn't have even been so bad, but I've actually lost count how many of my friends have gone home in just this last couple months.

[selenoscape]

...That must be very difficult. I wish there was something I could do.

[advisortype]

Well, there's nothing you can do. [wait, she's just trying to be nice, he can't be totally mean here.] Sorry. This place is just something awful sometimes.

[selenoscape]

Um, well... Maybe I could distract you, at least? We could see a movie, or...

[advisortype]

I don't think any distraction's gonna be enough right now, but, hey, thanks anyway.

[selenoscape]

You don't have to thank me.

My name is Estelle. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[advisortype]

Hey, you tried. That's worth something.

Nice meetin' you too, Estelle. I'm Yosuke.

[selenoscape]

I hope we can speak again when you're feeling better.

[advisortype]

[He does like new friends. But she'll go home too. So, weary comes his voice.]

Yeah, I hope so, too.

[selenoscape]

[She catches that, and pauses.]

Everything will be okay. I promise.

[advisortype]

[Non-committal noise now.]

I hope so.

[selenoscape]

[It is now her quest to make him feel better.]

...What's your favorite food?

[advisortype]

[He'd feel warm and squishy, if he could.]

Mine? Well... [thinkan'] Let's say steak.
