[He isn't looking for anyone in particular, and he most certainly isn't looking up.

But he does think he hears something like...a ringtone, and a bit paranoid after everything that's been happening, he looks around, startled.]

Er...Is anyone there?

...It depends, I guess. Sometimes silence is just lonely.

[Ahem. He frowns a little.]

It's only polite to introduce yourself before asking for someone else's name.

[He seems to ponder that silence comment for a moment before smiling with actual sincerity.]

It is, isn't it?

[And back to the smirk and rampant amusement.] So a nickname then? How about Bach?

[Siiiiiigh.]

My name is Alice.

[He regards Alice for a few moments.] I think Bach is more suiting. Or maybe Strauss?

[He brushes some of his bangs back.] My name is Yoshiya Kiryu, but you can call me Joshua.

[He isn't sure how to take that, so he just rolls his eyes a little.]

Thanks, I think.

Joshua. Got it. So why are you sitting up here playing with ringtones?

[He contemplates whether Strauss was better as he plays another ringtone. This one is techno.] I thought I already answered that. Really, you should pay more attention.

[if by answer you mean be vague as hell.] I don't like silence.

[Alice? is blunt. Very blunt.]

You didn't answer it. You dodged the question.

[But he nods.]

I don't think many people like silence.

[He finds that oddly charming.] Hm, maybe hardheaded wasn't quite right.

[He shrugs] Should they? There's no good to it. People label it peace and pretend it's something to enjoy.

[He just rolls his eyes and ignores that.]

That's true. But silence isn't always bad either.

[Though...can silence ever be good? He has to think on this. He's been feeling oddly contemplative anyway, ever since arriving in this place. Everything has changed now.]

Really? How so? [His tone is contemplative.] As you said, silence is loneliness, isn't it?

...It is. But I don't think that any one thing is good or bad.

[He shrugs after a moment.]

Anyway, it's just silence. Loneliness, whatever. It can't hurt anyone.

[He smiles.] You don't get lonely Alice?

[...]

It doesn't matter anyway. Loneliness isn't something that can last forever.

[It can't. He won't let it.]

Maybe not forever, but for a lifetime? It's possible. Maybe even several.
