[Hideki sounds very quiet. Any of that perkiness or pervertedness typical of him is nowhere to be heard.]

Hey. In case anybody was wondering where she went, Chii's gone.

...That's good, right? Now she won't get hurt or anything from all the weird stuff that happens in this place. Yeah. Right... I really should be happy for her but... Oh, man! I

[ He's silent for a moment, because Chii was a good friend, and he's sad to see her go. ]

[ But he knows how you feel, so Al's gonna try to make you feel a little better. ]

I'm sure she's doing just fine!

[tastysidedish]

Yeah. I mean, I hope so! She's always getting into trouble but as long as Shimbo's there... [Well. Actually. That's not very comforting.] It's going to be okay, right...?

[seekingbody]

Yes! Well, I've heard that there is a form of you that still exists in your world. So she must be back safe and sound with you there!

[ That makes total sense... yup... ]

[tastysidedish]

Wait. Wait. Wait. I'm still back home? Like another me?

[seekingbody]

[ Eeeer.... maybe he was better off not saying anything... ]

Well, I'm not exactly sure. But that's what it seems like. At least, my brother came to this world once, and told me things about myself that I didn't know had happened yet...

[tastysidedish]

I didn't know that... That means she'll be okay. As long as I'm there, I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

[...] Wait! That means I'm the only one stuck here!

[seekingbody]

Maybe they'll be back soon~? My brother disappeared and came back.

[ Nevermind the fact that he's gone again. And the fact that when he was back, he forgot everything that happened when he was here >_> ]

[tastysidedish]

So if she comes back, then there's still a Chii back home with the me that's there?

[...]

This is too confusing!

[seekingbody]

[ He didn't mean to kill your brain, Hideki... Now Al feels kind of bad ]

It does seem rather confusing, doesn't it?

[tastysidedish]

Right when I thought I finally understood this place, it throws me something else! I really shouldn't be so surprised but...

[seekingbody]

Oh, I feel the same way. No matter how much I read, I can't seem to find a whole lot of information.

[tastysidedish]

Where are you reading? Is there a lot of information in there? I-I'm not trying to go back or anything!! [His motives are so obvious. Chiiiiiii--] I just... Want to send something from Somarium to my own world...to get back at Shimbo! Yeah! That's it!

[seekingbody]

I've been checking books out from the library. So far, I haven't found much. But if I do find anything at all, I'll make sure to let you know!

[ He totally thinks it's admirable that you're worried about Chii and want to send things home to your friend. ]

[tastysidedish]

Thanks! I'm Hideki, by the way. What's your name?

[seekingbody]

I'm Alphonse~

[tastysidedish]

Nice to meet you, Alphonse! Were you a friend of Chii's?
