[Yosuke's own voice softens a tiny bit.] Hey, c'mon... [He can just picture Souji's face on the other end of the line... The day right after he "went missing", huh? Talk about shitty timing, even by his standards.

But there's no need for any of them to beat themselves up. Souji's going to have enough to worry about without starting to wallow in the stuff he can't change. They all are. The only real option is to stop themselves heading down that road in the first place, he thinks - and makes a concerted effort to smile, hoping that some of it will come through. At any rate, it gets him to feel a little more like himself... for better and for worse, somehow.]

Yeah, I agree. Let's not drain those investigating batteries before we're all ready to go. Speaking of which! What's this about this building you got!? Dude, you gotta give me the tour! You're not just talking it up 'cause you added estate agent to your long list of jobs while I was out of it, are you!?
