Ninth Song ○ [Video / Action for Celadon]

[Masato comes on looking as business as usual, although it seems ridiculously forced. He's in Celadon again, sitting inside the PokeMart.]

...It seems Mitsuki Kooyama has returned to her world. To those who knew her, I apologize for delivering such news.

[He takes a breath, and actually shuts his eyes for a moment; he almost got teary for a moment. Not even a minute later, he's back to his stony composure.]

...Killua Zoldyck, and Jinguji: she's left letters for you both. We can work on an arrangement for you both to receive them... Well. [Not so sure bout you, Jinguji.]

I... think that's it. So soon after the departure of Natsuki Shinomiya, I... guess I'm on my own for now.

I'll be fine on my own.

...But I'm sure she'd like some company. [He can't even make a joke on you right now.]

... yeah, she must be feeling a bit lonely.

[She's been alone longer than thou, Hijirikawa.]

Mm... I'll keep an eye out for her.

I don't think you'll be in there for too long. [Not if he can help it, at least.]

Thanks.

It's been a while, so I doubt it as well.

Mm... [he just sighs again.]

Once you're out, Jinguji, I fear what condition your fiancée will leave you in.

Haha...

[Okay, that's not really funny, so that's more of a nervous laugh.]

Whatever condition it may be, I'll take it like a man.

[There's a dry huff at that.]

Well, hopefully sooner rather than later. I'm still in disbelief over this entire predicament.

What's so hard to believe about it? You know I'm an idiot.

You're admitting it?

I'm concerned for your mental state of mind, Jinguji. Have you suffered a concussion?

Nah, I must be going crazy. All this sitting around and doing nothing can get to you.

I wouldn't put it past you...

[He sighs.] Are they at least keeping you fed in there?

Somewhat, yeah. It's not a hotel, but at least there's something.

That's good, that's good.

[And his little bouts of awkwardness are starting to come back. There's a start of a sentence, but then he just stops. He's not sure whether he wants to threaten Ren or ask him to cooperate until he's free, but he finally settles on something: just another heavy sigh.]
