Not to ask a stupid question, but I've never had to- [Sigh. The teenage boy on the other end of the feed rustles some fabric and scratches his ribs audibly.]- it's just that usually if I'm sick, my Mom...

[Kaskjashjasmjgasjgasjgsaasg!!! Did a girl really just say that to him?! His whole face goes red.]

[whoisjohnsmith]

How do you know? Oh, probably because there was no chance, huh?

[Siiiigh. Guess how much this kid hates to be alone, Haruhi? So much that he's going to do it anyway, that's how much.]

[And that was Yosuke's first mistake.]

Where are you languishing, then, huh?

[And it's sure not to be his last, either.]

In the Towers. That building where they send the newcomers to for the first month.
