[The feed starts today with Kidou looking very worried. Like the most worried he has ever looked in a long time.]

Good afternoon, this is Kidou Yuuto. I know a few of you are still recovering from the most recent experiment... and I'm sure a lot of you have more important things to worry about but have any of you seen Otonashi Haruna lately? She's a young girl with dark blue hair and grey eyes... she's usually seen in a school uniform and she wears a pair of red glasses on top of her head.

I know everyone was pretty busy last week, probably too busy to notice a little girl... I was a bit caught up in everything myself but I still would have seen her... I'm starting to get really worried.

I checked her room and her bed looks like it hasn't been used in a while.. her trunk was empty too.

If anyone has any idea what might have happened, please tell me.


[And there's a pause as he's a bit hesitant to say this next part]

... She's my little sister, and I really don't want to lose her... [He's pretty sure he has an idea of what happened, but he doesn't want to believe it...]

[magnificentsoccer]

... I will keep an eye out for you.
Don't do anything reckless as you look for her.

[video]

[pengeen]

I won't. [He gives Kageyama a frown.]

If I did something reckless while looking for her, it would only upset her...

[audio 5ever]

[magnificentsoccer]

... [Well. He knows he's in a state of denial right now, so there's not much he can do, so...
Maybe a topic change would lighten the boy's mood.]

I am planning on gathering others for a soccer team. I want you to be the captain.

[vidya 5ever until inevitable action because you know that'll happen]

[pengeen]

Oh, really? [That's a little surprising...] Genda and I were discussing starting a soccer team ourselves... I guess we never got around to it.

[but of course]

[magnificentsoccer]

Then I'll put that plan in motion. It would be good for everyone to get on their feet and do something, after all.

[Good for morale, he means.]

[beknightedheroine]

H..Her trunk was empty?

_{[oh no oh no Sayaka knows exactly what that means]}

[pengeen]

Yeah... the first time she went missing her trunk still had her things in it so I decided to check this morning to be safe and it was empty.. [No no no no no don't tell him she's gone permanently--]

[beknightedheroine]

..There's different levels of missing like that. I, I don't really understand how it works yet, but people can come back from both!

<sub>[She doesn't want to say it, but - the exceptions pop into her head first. Shoutarou. Luke. They came back after a long, long time away, right?!]

..if their things are missing, it usually means.. if they come back, it's after a really long time.</sub>

[pengeen]

[He stares at her for a moment, not sure if he wanted to believe her or not. She was just there a week or so ago... why did she have to get sent back to their destructed world again?

He finally lets out a deep sigh and slumps over the terminal he was sitting at.]

... I can't believe the last conversation we had was so depressing.

video; aw yeah now i can tag this

[chainsawn]

[ Urotsuki's at least feeling a lot better now - in fact, she seems back to her normal self, more or less.. she's just blinking blankly at the screen as usually. ]

She's.. missing?

video; awwwww yeahhhhhhhhh

[pengeen]

[He nods]

Yeah, I haven't seen her since before the last experiment... so I'm worried something happened to her.

[chainsawn]

Do you want me to help looking for her..? Or.. hmm, you probably already looked around a lot for her..

[pegeen]

I looked just about everywhere she would be... [He puts a hand to his chin]

I would appreciate the help, though.

[voice]

[tempus_scorpius]

... [family... family you don't want to lose]

... I haven't seen anyone of that description. Sorry.

[video]

[pengeen]

That's alright, I'll probably find her sometime soon. [If she's still here, that is.]

[video]

[tempus_scorpius]

I hope you find her soon. Are you two close?

[video]

[pengeen]

Not as close as we used to be, but she's still very important to me. [Considering, well, the fact that she's the only living relative he has.]

video;

[cullscuttlefish]

What?! I didn't know Haruna was your sister...and I didn't know she was missing, either. Of course I'll keep an eye out for her.

video;

[pegeen]

Yeah, she's-- [wait let's not. talk about how you're both orphans over the network that's not really something... he want's to talk about]


...she's really close to me. I appreciate the help.

[cullscuttlefish]

Of course. I always thought of her as a friend too. You know, we played soccer together, once. She's really good! And really sweet, too.

Don't worry. We'll find her.

[pegeen]

Oh, really? [He smiles just a bit] I was hoping to be able to play with her one on one sometime... we haven't played together since we were really young. [He lets out a little sigh.]

I just hope she hasn't been sent back to our destroyed world again... she was pretty upset after coming back the first time.

[video]

[kickspenguins]

...I'm sorry, Kidou, I haven't seen her lately.

[He wants to say more but what else can he say? He knows how hard it can be to lose someone you're close to but he doesn't know if words can make the pain less.]

[video]

[pengeen]

It's alright Sakuma. [He smiles a bit sadly] She's probably been sent back home, according to what Sayaka told me...

[video]

[kickspenguins]

[It's sad but--] At least there's no possibility of her being subjected to any of the experiments here anymore if that's the case.

[video]

[pengeen]

{He nods] Yeah... though I'm worried this "visit" will end up like last time and she'll come back in tears again.
