[typhlopid]

[A voice that is usually calm and refined seems to be struggling to remain so this morning.]

...My sister, Clover, has disappeared. You might know her as that pink-haired girl.

It is not a prank. She would not do that to me. Messages sent to her NV promptly bounce. [He also can't sense her presence, far more disturbing overall. And knowing what she must be going home to--]

If I find someone has taken her, if something has happened, there will be no end of hell for those responsible. [It is a coldness, a preciseness that can only be managed by true loathing: Clover has been stolen from him before, and anyone who dares to do it again will pay.]

I suppose this is where I ask to file a missing person report. [After a moment of hesitation.] I may require assistance in doing so.

Uh. You're sure?

[typhlopid]

[He is calm, neutral.] I am, Yosuke. All evidence suggests see is gone from Siren's Port completely.

[inthejunk]

Oh...

[Jeez, what do you even say to that? It's worse than a friend or a cute girl going missing. This is her brother. That has to be pretty rough.]

Uh. Sorry to hear it.

[You're probably supposed to say anything but that. Even if it's true-he is sorry to hear it- you're supposed to think of something more helpful. Instead, he bites his lip and frowns.]

eeep sorry i missed this

[typhlopid]

It is kind of you to say, Yosuke. She thought you were cute, you know. I was trying to push her to ask you on a date.

She always deserved... so much more.

No worries!

[inthejunk]

Really? [His cheeks go a little pink at that, eagerly, before he remembers that it doesn't matter now anyway, and frowns.] Do you think she went home?

[typhlopid]

I believe she was sent back to our world, but we were not presently anywhere near our home. [He speaks quietly.]

[inthejunk]

Oh...

['Cause really, what can you say to that?]

Um. Well if you need help with anything she would have helped you with before, I don't mind. Just until Clover-san comes back.

[typhlopid]

--And what if I told you she helped me in and out of the bath?

[inthejunk]

...Don't be creepy.

[typhlopid]

[just a quiet laugh on this end] I appreciate your offer, but I require no additional assistance to go about my daily life.

[inthejunk]

Okay. Let me know if you change your mind.
