[Kaien shows up onscreen, and he's sitting on a rooftop, as shinigami in Anatole are often wont to do, overlooking the marketplace. He certainly looks better than he did during the broadcast weekend, if a bit...antsy?]
Uh, hey everyone. So, um. [Hrrrgh, what's with the stammering. He clears his throat and tries again.]
I know a bunch of you guys haven't been feeling well, and I've been okay so far, so I was wondering if...
If there was anything anyone needed? Like groceries or errands you don't feel up to doing, or anything?
I don't really have much to do today, so it wouldn't be any trouble. Really!
[...To the casual listener, there might not seem to be anything off about this. Kaien is usually helpful and friendly. But to those that know him well, the signs are definitely present. His words are not quite an offer, so much as...a request. He has so much free time and not enough productive things to do with it. This needs to be remedied, right away.]
