fortuneprince: (Naoto | It's difficult to face reality)

21st Case - [Written] - Foward-dated to the morning of the 4th

[ It's a weird feeling, deja vu is. 

Standing in the doorway of what used to be Rise's room, Naoto staring in at the bareness of it.  The bed is neatly made, no fluffy or frilly pillows resting around it, just white sheets and a single pillow.  Everything the idol once possessed and stored in this room now gone.  Accessories, pictures, books, clothes, you name it, all gone.

It felt as if Luceti just wiped the girl off the face of the earth.  Like she was never even here.  That every moment Naoto spent with her here was a lie.  Much like when Souji left.

Naoto doesn't panic as the reality of the situation sets in nor does she cry.  Instead, she closes the door to the unoccupied room quietly, and walks away from it, sitting herself down on the couch while Kuzunoha stays behind and stares at the door sadly, waiting for his playmate to come out and scream at him.


It takes her a good thirty minutes to pick up the journal, but when she does, she almost decides to try a filter, to try and deny what she knows what's really going on, but she resists.  What would the point be?  She knows it would break.  So she pulls out her pen, in fear that her voice may crack if she speaks, and writes: ]

Rise Kujikawa has been sent home. [ ...She stares down at her own message and frowns, the tears finally well up in her eyes.  It's going to be so much quieter without Rise around.  Without her best friend. ]

[Yun had woken with an inkling that something was wrong even before she checked her journal, but those words confirmed what she'd feared. Yet another person, gone, and this time someone she knew... Her first instinct was to rush over and see with her own eyes, however unnecessary that would have been. Though she wouldn't. Not yet.

Who'd want someone knocking on their door while they were crying!

Instead Yun finds something else to do for about a half an hour, fiddling around in the kitchen with breakfast instead. It isn't until Naoto's had some time to herself that she'll have her little neighbor knocking on the door.

Good morning, Naoto. [Then Yun's timing is good enough, which isn't all that much of a surprise considering. She's standing in the hallway with whatever she could rustle up to use as a tray. On that? Food. It's really just scrambled eggs, toast, some fruit, and a pot of tea (with cups, of course). Hopefully that'll do.] I thought you might like some breakfast...

[Just in case she might forget while fretting over the disappearance.]

[She does step in! The dog is given a curious look, but she has to put this tray down before she can even think of petting Kuzunoha, so later.]

Today is a good day for a little kindness, I think.

[Her first stop is, of course, a table to place the food and tea.]

Thank you, though I wish I could do more.

[It's not easy to lose someone, even if, in this case, the two of them will inevitably meet again. But enough sad thoughts, there's a puppy. Yun is definitely going to pet him.]

Heehee... [She crouches down closer to the level of the puppy and holds a hand out towards him.] Why hello there. I'm not ignoring you, honest.

As you say.

[There's no point in disputing kind acts, after all.

And now there's a puppy to deal with! Yun smiles at Kuzunoha when he noses her palm and, once he's done sniffing and licking the hand, she moves it to scritch him behind an ear.

Such a friendly dog... What is his name?

Kuzunoha, hmm? [Aww, he looks so happy!] Does that stand for anything?

A detective... [She's heard of those before!] That's someone who investigates people and events and such, right? What did Kuzunoha investigate that made him famous?

[After having visited that world with Rise, she's actually really interested in hearing all sorts of things about it.]
