Papaaaaa!!!

[And the young girl just drops her communicator. She's back at her home, looking for her sick daddy whose frequency disappeared this morning. She looks a little distressed, already fumbling with her whistle as she runs around the living room.]

PAPA! It's not hide and seek time! Papaaaaa!

[She just runs into another room. MEANWHILE,

[dividend]

... hey, are you alright? [worried neighbour is worried!]

[whistleoflight]

[She looks up at him.] Uh-huh...? [Yet she sounds very unsure about that.]

[dividend]

Do you need some help?

[whistleoflight]

I'm trying to find my papa.

[dividend]

I can help you look, if you like.

[whistleoflight]

[She'd like that! She just goes over to take his hand now.]

[dividend]

[Phoenix is happy to hold her hand in return, though he's not too sure where they should start looking.]

Is there anyone he might have gone to see? We can start on this floor, and keep looking anyway.

[whistleoflight]

[YAAAY HOLDING HANDS!]

Uh-uh... he was sick so he was staying at home... but then his frequency disappeared so he probably lost his commy-thingy.

[dividend]

[/quietly adopts...]

His frequency's gone...? [Phoenix manages to stop himself from looking too worried. He knew what that meant.] Well... someone had to have seen him recently, so we'll ask around.

[whistleoflight]

[He might have to fight Sunao for that.] Will you ask with me? Please?

[dividend]

[Or he could just be a big brother.] Of course! Is there anyone else you can stay with if you need to?

[whistleoflight]

[My new niichan!]

M-my neechan... I ran away from her... I didn't mean to... [She leans on his leg and looks down.] I wanted to find papa first...

[dividend]

What's her name? Don't worry, we'll find him too.

[whistleoflight]

M-my sister's name is Sunao. [Clinging now.] Everyone leaves me... All of my papas, and my mamas, and my niichans, and my neechans, and my friends...

[dividend]

Sunao? I know her... I'll get you to her safely. [Have a hug, Hikari.] I won't leave you, okay? I'll make sure you're all right.

[whistleoflight]

[She likes hugs. She's also on the verge of crying again.] B-but what if I make you go home too? A-and neechan? Everyone leaves... I'm always all alone...
