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. ]

But Naoto gets off the couch, wiping off the remaining tears that were falling down her cheeks to make herself look somewhat presentable. Though it's still fairly obvious that she was crying. She gets to the door and opens it, allowing the dog to run out and run around Yuan]
Yuan-san.
[Action]
[Yuan doesn't fail to notice the redness in Naoto's eyes and while he did suspect he might encounter something like this, he certainly wasn't prepared for it. He'll just... pretend he doesn't notice and focus his attention on the dog for a moment. It's still as excitable as ever.]
[Action]
Naoto does her best to smile lightly and whistles once to get the dog to get back down and walk into the apartment. She opens the door wider and steps to the side] Please, come in.
[Action]
Thank you. [He gives Naoto a curt nod, before stepping inside the apartment.]
[Action]
Can I get you anything to drink? [Almost speaking awkwardly. She isn't quite sure what else to say, for once.]
[Action]
You needn't trouble yourself. [He'll just... take a seat, for now.]
[Action]
[Before he can say anything else, she walks off to go and get a glass of water from the kitchen down the hall. It's really an excuse to get out of that apartment, even if it's just for a minute.
When she comes back, she sets the glass down on the coffee table then sits down beside him, her head ducked and bangs hiding her face]
[Action]
[By now, Yuan's realizing that he really should've thought of something to say before coming here. Discussing Rise is likely not a good idea, so what else is there?]
... Your dog seems to be doing well.
[Action]
Yes. Kuzunoha has been in good health. He has grown as well... and yet he is still as hyper as ever. [Hearing his name, he trots over to the two and sits in front of them]
Though he misses Rise-san already. It's strange, how animals know when something is amiss.
