22nd Investigation ⊗ Video

[pishirogane]

[There's a very unsure child hugging Arthur when the feed opens. Roul and Miyuki are with them, but they're not in a specific room, at least, not one of the residential rooms. The blue hat and jacket seems large on the kid; scratch that, all the clothing seems large on them]... I didn't notice my Grampa's name on the listing... or Yakushiji-san's.

Hey, you! Don't cry.

[pishirogane]

... Huh?

[Another kid? Kids don't talk to her. Confusion...]

[ierasecircles]

Don't cry.

[pishirogane]

I'm not crying...

[She wipes her eyes quickly.]

[ierasecircles]

Don't worry. I'mma find all of our Mamas, Papas, and Grandpas!

[pishirogane]

... My parents are dead though.

[ierasecircles]

How come?

[pishirogane]

There was a car accident in the city.

[ierasecircles]

My Papa said when that happens, they go inside your heart.

[pishirogane]

But... how? They can't fit in there.

[ierasecircles]

Their souls fly into the hearts they love the most!

[pishirogane]

Soul? Like a ghost?

[ierasecircles]

Uh-huh! You're lucky 'cause you have two people in your heart, not just one.

[pishirogane]

... Are Grampa and Yakushiji-san there too then?

[ierasecircles]

I dunno! I think a lot of grown-ups are lost.

[pishirogane]

I hope so...
