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. ]

[Yuan barely knew Rise. He'd met her a few times over the past years, but never even got her name. However, he does know the person who put up the announcement, so he won't hesitate to write down a reply.]

Are you all right?

[mistlegacy]

[It takes her a bit to respond, her voice quiet and a touch melancholy.]

I'm sorry to hear that. She'll be missed.

['... Shit.

Okay, I don't mean that in a light-hearted way, either. Rise-chan...!']

Sorry to hear it.

[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.]

[Roji has barely gotten over one disappearance and now he's woken up to another. But now that he's gone through this once, the blow isn't as hard.

Though perhaps he's still a little numb from before.]

Thanks for telling us.

I'm sorry.

[...oh man...]

Give me twenty minutes, okay? [Because he's coming over whether she likes it or not.]
