Teru still checked the popcorn plaque every day, just in case.

He looked at the name for a long time, not certain how to feel about it. There was no reason at all that he should miss Yagami. No reason to feel depressed, or - disappointed? - that the man was gone.

But still. It was... unexpected.

"Awww, he's gone? Shame. He was amusing."

That would be what Ryuk focuses in on.

Teru glared, though part of him was relieved for the distraction. "Yes, I'm sure he was."

"Aww, but don't worry Teru." He put an arm around Mikami. "I still have you."

The letter came unexpected, so Rika had tried to send a letter back but the owl didn't go anywhere. She ran towards the popcorn room to see if his name was now on it since the owl acted like Soichiro was no longer within reach. Having her suspicions confirmed Rika just stared at the name for a bit, a fist clenched over her heart.

Sometimes you roll sixes and gain valuable friends, and other times you roll ones and lose them.

"You knew him, didn't you?" Teru said, quietly. "I'm sorry."

There, he could be sorry for Rika. That was relatively uncomplicated.

Rika looked down, not feeling like looking anyone in the face at the moment, but she eventually did reply, "Soi-san was the first person I opened up to about my past here. We took a trip to Japan together once, he wanted to see the lifespan on his alternate living in this world and I showed him my village."

"...I am sorry," Teru said, again, inadequate though it was. He reached out to touch Rika's shoulder, but then held back, not sure she'd appreciate it.
