[yetsleeping]

...um. Has anyone seen... Zack?

[A long pause.]

I normally have more to say than this.

...Isley, can we talk? Oh! Not about anything bad.

Zack-Zack?

[Her face is unnaturally blank, as if she's in shock. As if the idea of Zack being gone is one she can't possibly comprehend.]

[video]

[yetsleeping]

...Yachiru... we don't know that he's really gone.

[video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

But. That's what you think. Isn't it.

[It's not even really a question.]

[video]

[yetsleeping]

Well. Considering we have someone claiming to have kidnapped him for ransom... let's just say I'm working on that.

[video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

Huh? Somebody took him? Who?

[video]

[yetsleeping]

..I'm working on it. I'm not even sure it's true.

[video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

But... why would somebody want to do anything bad to Zack-Zack? Are you looking for him?

[video]

[yetsleeping]

I am. ...but I wouldn't get your hopes up too much, okay?

[video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

...

Can I help you? I want to look for him, too.

[video]

[yetsleeping]

Mm. Of course you can, Yachi.

[Even though, at this point, she already knows he's gone. But it will give Yachiru closure, maybe. And her, too.]

Do you want to meet outside the Headquarters?

[video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

[She nods.]

Okay. Right now, right?

[video]

[yetsleeping]

Yes. I'm on my way, okay?

[video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

[She nods again, looking a little more desolate than she'd have liked.]

Okay. Me too.
