[Ruri stops and sits down on the bench peering at Yosuke]

"...Yosuke?"

[princeofjunes]

[He can't hear her, but it's easy enough to notice someone sitting next to him. He glances over and forces a smile, slipping his headphones off]

Hey Ruri, sorry I didn't hear you there. What's up?

[hontobakabaka]

"Nothing. You just looked miserable."

[princeofjunes]

Miserable? No, I-I'm fine! Just a long day at work, you know?

[hontobakabaka]

"Don't lie. Its not dignified."

[princeofjunes]

[... it was worth a shot. But jeez, talking about this to you is going to be awkward as hell, Ruri]

... so, I saw Chie today.

[hontobakabaka]

"Oh? How is she doing?"

[princeofjunes]

Oh, she seemed fine. You know, wearing her girly outfits, flirting with the drone boys, ignoring all the things she loves to do.

Never seen a happier drone in my life.

[hontobakabaka]

"Are her things still here? If her things are still here, the town may be punishing her for something, if they are gone, its possible that she was sent home for good."

[princeofjunes]

How - how would I know? I didn't exactly break into her house or anything, come on. I'm not a creepy stalker.

[hontobakabaka]

"Then I say think of the best, of her at home with her whatever not remembering this place till she shows up again. I don't really know what to say."

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, and I don't really know what to think.

It's... and I thought having drone kids was weird. At least I didn't know them.

It's hard! Seeing her... like that...

[hontobakabaka]

"Its one of the ways the town messes with us."

[princeofjunes]

Yeah? Well, it's working.

[hontobakabaka]

"Anything I can do to help?"

[princeofjunes]

[He sighs, looking down at the ground]

I... don't know.

How did you deal with this?
