Ehhh... it was just me being an idiot. [His face goes a little scarlet and he rests a cheek in one of his hands embarrassedly.] Should've just used paper to begin with...
I was trying to conserve paper until the lessons were done.. I don't think Lavi would be very happy if I wasted paper, especially if.. you know... it got "stuck" and crumpled and I had to throw it away after.
[Kiriko gives a little bit of a relieved nod.]
Ah.. Thank you. [Though he seems more thankful that Yukio didn't read his message than the birthday wish.] Though it hasn't been a year, so it doesn't really count...
[It was fairly obvious that the text wasn't meant for others once he got past that first line. Reading personal letters (or whatever these count as) would be very rude.]
... As long as some people have been here, I imagine it'll get difficult to keep track of that sort of thing after a while.
[Yukio will be joining him in looking troubled now. Pulled during a mission, he's not sure he wants to think about what people are thinking about him.]
We'll find a way back. We just have to keep looking.
[He senses Yukio's upset and tries to look cheerful. He doesn't want to bring anyone down with his own problems.]
Of course we will! It's only a matter of time.
You're really lucky you're here with your brother, though. As long as my family was here or knew I was okay, I don't think I'd worry so much about getting home.
[Oh, Kiriko's just hit a bit of a sore spot. Unintentionally, of course, but Yukio's face falls a bit more. The change lasts for just a second, though, before he schools his expression back to something more neutral. He's rather practiced at that particular neutral face.]
... Nii-san is missing, actually. If you see or hear from him before I do, I'd appreciate if you could let me know as soon as possible.

[Kiriko suddenly feels a bit weirded out. When Yukio smiles like that, he reminds him of someone... He looks at him strangely before shrugging it off.]
..No, it's nothing! We're in this together, yeah? So.
Hope he turns up soon. [He'll keep an eye out for sure.] Maybe he went for help or something.
... I don't know if you can undo network posts...

[He smiles a bit.] Happy birthday, though. That was as far as I got.

I guess you're right. [He shivers.] I really hope it doesn't come to that, though. My family probably thinks I'm dead as it is...

Shit! I'm really sorry, Yukio! I forgot! [He had seen it on the Network but, for some reason, hadn't thought much of it..]
I will. I promise. Gah, damn it.

It's alright. Everyone has their own things to worry about here.

[He sighs. He's not very articulate today.]
You know, I have a sibling too. Even before I came here I worried about her every day. I know how it feels. Really.
[He bites his lip nervously. What he's trying to say is that Yukio isn't alone, but maybe he's too vague.]
