@emperor

[finethanks]

Hey, everyone. It's been a long time, hasn't it?

Fufu, I wanted to greet you all casually, but the chat looks so empty compared to what I was expecting. Is this because I was hospitalized? How lonely. I wanted to read all of your messages, but I purposefully refrained from looking here, since I knew that if I saw you all having fun without me, I'd grow lonely... I suppose this is my own fault.

I'm back. I won't bore you all with the details, and I'd prefer not to talk about it in the first place, so why don't we focus on more important news, instead? This time, I won't speak about some idle thought or idea of mine, but instead of relevant news. Well, it's relveant to me, at least. My previous roommate has vanished. Since he never visited me in the hospital, though we were quite close, I'm inclined to believe that it was around then that it happened. I believe he was too busy to ever meet any of you, but I thought I'd share it anyway, just in case.

Opposite of that, one of my cute juniors has arrived, as well, and will be staying nearby. He's a member of my idol unit, fine, and he's small and cute, with a face like an angel and adorable pink hair. I hope you'll all treat him well.

But I see that many new faces have arrived over time... Isn't that nice? This community is growing into something splendid, while also maintaining a feeling of something close and warm. ♪

Ah, really... from the bottom of my heart, I missed you all.

[Eichi "only messages the group at 3am including now" Tenshouin dumps his feelings on the group chat once more.]

[ciao]

it's good to see you're out and about again eichi
you should join me in the morning for breakfast again sometime
but it sounds like your junior may be as cute and charming as yourself
i look forward to possibly meeting them sometime as well

is there anything special you'd like me to make for you??
as a gift for your return?

[finethanks]

He's quite charming, so I encourage it. It will be good for him to meet new faces, as well.

To be honest, anything sounds delicious after having hospital food for so long. I'd love to join you tomorrow morning, so I'll stop by then, if it's not too much of a problem.

[ciao]

you’re a really good friend to want him to experience so many good things
hopefully he has many good encounters
I know everyone I’ve met has been so wonderful

I would love to have breakfast with you tomorrow morning
I’ll make sure that there’s something extra special for you to enjoy
And we can chat about anything you’d like

[finethanks]

Anything? Then, so I can feel as though I didn't miss anything, you can tell me all that you've been up to, Italy-san.

[ciao]

oh well i guess i could
but i can't promise it's been like very exciting or anything
but i'll do my best to make up for it

ugh buddy

[kiritin]

Welcome back, Tenshouin. It's good to see you well.

UGH THIS MADE ME HAVE FEELINGS

[finethanks]

[...]

Thank you. Shall I say something like "it would take much more than that to defeat me!" or something? Fufu. Just kidding. It's actually laughably easy to take me down.

If I had to guess, you're the one who's been taking care of the flowers I planted in the rooftop garden, aren't you? If that's the case, I owe you more thanks. They're precious to me.

eichi comes back and arjuna is kind and awk, wild

[kiritin]

Pay it no mind. I suppose it gives me something to do, and those flowers need caretakers.
Should I cease watering them now that you have returned?

HE'S CONFUSED

[finethanks]

Yes, if you don't mind. Watering them as a part of my own routine relaxes me, and I like to enjoy tea afterwards.

I hope you've been well, Arjuna-san.

when he apologizes eichi will be the most confused he'll ever be in his life

[kiritin]

Not in the least; do make yourself comfortable, and take the time necessary to return to your usual routine.

[ It does take him a while to reply the following text; has he been well? Yes, to some extent; a lot has happened in the past weeks, but when it comes to Eichi, the guilt and regret he feels are far too heavy. Would it be right for him to say that yes, he has been well? Would it be a lie? ]

... Yes. I suppose to some extent, I have.

@matriarch

[menphina]

I don't think you had to miss me too much, little Starlight. Got to look out for you as a doctor, and I don't think I'd want it any other way.

[finethanks]

It's different, isn't it? When I can move freely and do whatever I'd like, without the pitying stares.

I apologize for sneaking out twice, but it all worked out in the end, didn't it? I appreciated your help, of course.

[menphina]

Wouldn't have stopped you. Being in a hospital is tiring.

As long as you felt better, though. Now we can celebrate!

[finethanks]

Fufu... You're rather carefree about that, as a doctor.

I do feel much better, though I have to watch myself carefully. Being able to move around on my own feels like celebration by itself.

[menphina]

Never said I was a boring doctor, did I?
Besides, some of our healing methods in the tribe involved actually getting out for a bit

If anything does feel off, I'll be there!

I'm going to be like an annoying big sister now so you'd best be ready!

But you should get back in touch with all your friends

They all missed you, after all!

@lostsong; don't mind me ......

[resound]

I’m surprised you noticed any absences.
Surely such a popular person didn’t lack for visitors?

[ because he can’t just out and say ‘sorry for your loss,’ that’d be ridiculous. ]

[finethanks]

I did have visitors.

[Like a certain tsundere, for example,]

But I'm not so cruel as to forget those who are close to me. We met when I arrived in the place I was stuck prior to this one, so after surviving a crossing of universes, him disappearing later on is a little surprising, is all.

[Yeah. That's all.]

[resound]

[ well, he wouldn’t know anything about that... ! ]

I guess
It doesn’t help to be reminded of how temporary things are.

[ ......... ]

At least the world wasn’t cruel enough to leave you alone.

[finethanks]

[He wonders about that, though it would be cruel to write any doubts where Tori could see it. Even if it's not the same...]

Mm.

Were you left alone, Shuu-san?

[resound]

[ define “alone” ...... ]

I wasn’t fishing for your sympathy.
Keep it to yourself.

@crescentrose

[sanguinertia]

go to bed

[finethanks]

Ruby-chan, did I wake you with this? I apologize. I wonder if there's a sleep mode...

But I couldn't stay asleep, you see.

[sanguinertia]

it's fine, i just smacked myself in the face trying to turn it off...

why couldn't you stay asleep, though?

[finethanks]

I apologize. I hope there's no mark on that cute face of yours from something like this.

But there's no need to worry over it. It's just that I have a lot on my mind, now that I'm out of that place.
