[It's late at night, and Ritsuka is sitting in the kitchen of his apartment. An blond man in his twenties (Soubi) can be seen sort of hovering in the background - making tea, puttering around, keeping an eye on Ritsuka and just trying to stay out of the way.
Ritsuka is seated at the table. He holds up a photograph of Triela, one of the photos her took of her at the beach over the summer. She is a lively looking teenage girl, wearing a sundress and a smile, her blond pigtails moving in the wind.]
Siren's Port, this is Triela. She's been my friend and roommate for... well, it feels like forever.
Triela hasn't come home tonight.
[Ritsuka looks tired. He's still dressed in the blue vest uniform of his private school, and he's not even bothering to hide his soft black ears and tail.]
I called all three of her jobs. They haven't seen her. If she was stuck somewhere, she would've let me know.
I'll be filing a report... but I just wanted to know if any of you had seen her.
[Ritsuka rubs at one of his eyes with the heel of his palm, taking a deep breath.]
Triela, if you're out there, you'd better come back in time for my one year anniversary here. I was just kidding when I said it wasn't worth making a cake about. We can make one.
