Yu Narukami is no longer in the Tower.

If anyone needs me for the rest of the day, they can find me on floor 48.

[And anyone who does look for him will find him wandering between two graves - Yu's and Shinjiro's. Two years ago... he still feels somewhat conflicted about being saved, but he's glad it happened.]

[Still, losing a friend and an enemy turned friend is difficult.]

You really shouldn't spend whole days in here, Ken-kun.

[Chidori isn't one to talk, given how she sometimes spends her fair share of hours next to Minato's grave- but doing as she does isn't what she wants for him.

Still, she falls into step with him on the way to Shinjiro's grave, expression slightly more grim than usual.]

Or at the very least, bring decent company.

[Diarmuid doesn't know Yu more than in passing, but what he does know is the pain of losing a close friend. It's something becoming far too common in this place nowadays. It's part of the reason he has avoided visiting the graveyard for so long. Even so, after seeing Ken's text, Diarmuid finds himself there. He's not exactly sure how to help the boy, but he does know that pain shared is pain lessened. It is the least he can do after how Ken reached out to him when they were all trapped in the room together.]

Ken?

[His voice is soft as he approaches.]

It's not right we don't even get to say good bye, is it?

[Have a hug Ken, Romeo finds his friend easily once he gets to the graveyard after seeing the network message. He's sad as well, mister Yu was a nice person and had been here a long times and it was really bad that he had gone now and could be in danger because Ruana could hurt everyone even when they were on their worlds.] I'm sorry Ken...

[... she'd been going straight to the graves she always went to for the past couple days. She hadn't looked around at the new graves. Maybe she should've.

Well, it doesn't really matter now, does it?]

Thanks for letting us know. I'll be by later.

[True to her word, a couple hours later she'll enter the graveyard floor. She has to work here today, and so she does that first, watering flowers, brushing away leaves from gravestones, and so on. She'll nod at Ken whenever she passes by.

When she's done though, she reaches into a pocket of her coat and pulls out a shell, one of her favorites from the Tower. And from there, she sets it down in front of Yu's grave. The first of many, to be sure.

The Tower gave no gifts for free, it seemed.]

[Minato doesn't need to answer to the network post. As Yu's roommate, he already knows about his absence first hand. But it seems like Ken reported it first.

Still, without saying much, he made his way up to the forty eighth floor. He did pause to check on a few friends' graves, particularly those from SEES, before he find Ken.]

...Ken.

[...But he'll be sitting at the terminal, once he sees this message.

Something had seemed just a little different when he'd gotten up and left towards the cafeteria this morning, somehow it had felt like something was off with the mix of light and dark that he's used to sense all over the tower. Now it's clear what that is, and it has him bowing his head while his hands clench into fists.

Yu - the first and closest friend he has made in this place - is gone. He is gone and most likely, he's been sent back to the destroyed remains of his home universe.

And he isn't safe there, not given what Ruana is planing...

They will safe him. Him and everyone else trapped in their homeworld or killed by whatever had caused their destruction in first place.

They'll restore it all. (They just have to.)

He promises.]
