[The feed clicks on accidentally with a clatter, filming at an awkward angle the skyline of Goldenrod City. It's clear that wherever this video is being taken, it's from an elevated surface (a roof, perhaps?) and wasn't done on purpose]

... oi, Prise. Careful with the gear.

[Is that Kaito? It can't be. The usual mischievous energy that laces his

Friends of yours went home to?

Sorry bro.

[text]

[bakaitoukid]

'S fine. I think they both had something important to do at home.

[text]

[usedsuitup]

Still sucks though.

[text]

[bakaitoukid]

... heh. Yeah. It does.

[private text] - FFFFF What the hell am I doing /shot

[ahokonakamori]

[Aoko tried to reach both Kay and Johan. When she can't get through to either of them, she knows they're gone, and that Kaito's definitely sad right now. She'll only come over if he wants her to.]

Don't worry, I'm here.

[bakaitoukid]

[There'd be relief in his voice if he wasn't responding through text, a relieved sigh that at least she was still here, especially after he had gone so long without her]

I'll be back late tonight, so don't wait up for me.

[private text] OH NUTHIN. Study-tagging. You?

[ahokonakamori]

[She gets that he needs a little time alone. She can't blame him, especially after losing two friends so quickly.]

All right. Are you going to need anything?

["Don't wait up."

She probably will, since she's sad, too.]

[private text] SAME ACTUALLY HAHA

[bakaitoukid]

Who, me? 'Course not. I'll be fine, I just didn't want you to wait up all night for me.

If you don't get your beauty sleep you'll wake up in the morning looking like some creepy zombie.

[ A bit of a pause before he replies to this. He instinctively goes to reach for the letter in his breast pocket from his cousin, still carrying it around with him at all times. He finally sends out a text to this. ]

Yeah...

I've got one from my cousin. She has left a bunch for everyone else too.

text;

[bakaitoukid]

You think people know when they're leaving?

Or do they just write them in advance?

text;

[usedeverything]

Not too sure about the rest, but my cousin has written hers in advance. She has left before, so she's been prepared this time.

text;

[bakaitoukid]

Heh. Wonder if Kay did the same thing.

[Text]

[tiercelet]

No letter. But a few of my friend's pokemon stayed behind this time. Does that usually happen?

[Text]

[bakaitoukid]

Guess so. A few of their Pokemon stayed behind, too.

[Text]

[tiercelet]

The last time my friend left they all disappeared with him. I guess there really is no way to predict what happens when someone returns to their world.

[bakaitoukid]

'S just how Johto works, I guess.

[restardom]

[ as it turns out, Rise's gone and stumbled across him entirely by accident, accompanied by just a Flareon. ]

Kaito?

Re: [action]

[bakaitoukid]

[-- oops. His quiet place isn't so quiet after all. He blinks a few times before palming the pin and leaning back on both hands, shooting Rise a (very strained) grin]

Oi, Rise.

[action]

[restardom]

Oi to you, too. [ she's very cautious when she gets closer to the edge, by no means good with balancing near open air, but easing herself down beside him with Pepper plunking down on her other side. ] That's a pretty fake smile you have.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[And that is one reason he wanted to avoid people so thoroughly... it wasn't easy to fake his usual smiles right now]

Ha... I'm working on it.

[Also hello Pepper, Prise the Espeon is curiously sniffing at you]
