I saw Anemone-san. But I don't about Ace-nii.

[theforceoncrack]

Someone says he's okay.

...

What about you, girlie?

[He's a sucker for sad kids.]

[guardianjoker4]

Anyone else you know gone?

[fierybluebird]

Ace is still here. Anemone too.

[theforceoncrack]

[This is good news. Jackie is unsure, though.]

Who're you?

[fierybluebird]

Ace's nakama, Marco.

But Kirika... She's gone missing.

Dammit... Just what the hell is going on here?

[theforceoncrack]

[Well, sister is here, so that's good, but.]

Kirika? You find her communicator there?

[spectrophobic]

Y-yeah...

[That's where it gets even more worrisome.]

When we found it, it was all bloodied up.

[turneverystone]

I'm sorry.
