[It's okay, he understands. It's upsetting for him too.]

A day after you went missing. I was told it happens often...they go back home. [At least, he really hopes that's what happens. Woe be onto anyone if Souji finds out that in truth they are actually somewhere else, because there will be hell to pay.]

Sometimes they come back...but it might not be the same Rise as before. She might not remember being here.

[The tone of his voice is down to a whisper. He didn't like any part of this situation at all.]
