Just how long can someone stay dead here? Draco has been gone for over a week and he still hasn't come home.

[He sighs, running his fingers through his hair. It's worrying. Hisoka won't take it well if Draco doesn't return soon, and he doesn't know how much his sensitive partner can take.]

[Already regretting he put his thoughts in the journal, he changes the subject.]

Anyway. Welcome to town, new people. I'm Tsuzuki. If you need any help finding a place to stay, or just want to find a temple, I'm always around.

[In fact, if anyone is out to find him, they will be able to find him just where he'd sending the video from, the Tsukino Shrine. Later in the day he will take a walk in the woods to clear his head.]

Yes, he--

[He stops, suddenly lost for words. His voice grows softer, gentler. Tsuzuki had thought Draco's friends had known, somehow.]

You didn't know, Grune?

No, I thought he went away for a little while. Isn't he taking a trip?

[Maybe Tsuzuki made a mistake. That's right, isn't it?]

He was on the draft. That's where it happened, we think.

[By now, she's heard from other friends of hers who have died how difficult the last draft was. As much as she wishes so deeply it weren't true, she can understand why it might happen then.

But those last, softer words catch her attention.]

You think?

I didn't go on the draft, so I didn't see it happen. But--

But?

[Grune doesn't see anything to be concerned about when it comes to that "but." Her reason for asking is nothing more than simple curiosity.]

No one stays away from town that long without being dead.

Well...maybe he's a little busy. He must have something very important to do.

[That must be it. He couldn't have died. Tsuzuki really must have made a mistake.]

Even so, why haven't he come home to sleep? His room's untouched.

Maybe he's camping. Camping is a nice thing to do.

[Grune is always going to look on the bright side, no matter what. Only when there are no other options left will she considers his.]

[Tsuzuki understands that mindset, but he has seen too much death to be able to hold it. His voice softens, bordering on breaking.]

I don't think so, Grune. He would have let Hisoka know.

...Maybe he forgot.

[Her conviction, however, is growing less. Even she's running out of reasons why Draco might not be back just yet.]

I hope he comes back soon.

Me too. It's not the same without him here.

[She gives a tiny sigh. Then:]

Tsuzuki? Let's think of something good to do to welcome Draco home, okay?

[He can't help the small smile from forming.]

You know, Grune, that's an excellent idea.

[She's quick to return it.]

Maybe we could make him his favourite food.

I don't know what his favourite is. Do you?

Hmm.... I wonder.

[Nope. So much for that.]
