Hey, I'm sure plenty of you all know Souji Seta. He's kind of a social butterfly. If you do, and you've seen him in the last couple days, can you let me know?

He hasn't been home since the 30th, and won't answer my texts, which isn't like him. I thought he was just spending the night with a girlfriend or something but now I'm worried.

Thanks!

xoxo, Rise

[She knows what the likely reason is. She watched Chie disappear not too long ago also, after all, but she refuses to accept that option until she's exhausted all others, okay.]

I can't find him either.
I'm worried.

Can you describe him? I... somehow don't know what he looks like.

[Despite being friends with Rise and a big sister figure to Xion.]

He hasn't been here.

If you need some company, you're welcome to come over.

[locktouching]

Seen? I don't know, maybe if you describe how he looks. Is he cute? Sexy?

[betheirstrength]

I was hoping he would be with you or Hifumi... crap.

[xioff]

Me too.
Er, with one of you.
You know.

[betheirstrength]

Sure. He's tall, long legged. White hair with long bangs and a calm expression. Grey eyes.

[princessascended]

Sorry, haven't seen him. I can look around, though. Where does he usually hang out?

[betheirstrength]

I was hoping he was with you...

Yeah, I think I'll come over. This apartment is way too empty.

[necroyalty]

This is potentially an odd question, but do you perhaps have some of his hair, or maybe fingernail clippings?

[betheirstrength]

[Someone has priorities, doesn't he.]

Um, I mean yeah he's pretty cute, it's how he gets all that attention I guess. He's tall, white hair and grey eyes, long bangs, calm expression. Uh, Japanese.

[betheirstrength]

Yeah, I know.
You'll be the first to know if I learn anything, ok?

[betheirstrength]

It's okay, you don't need to send out a search party... He's usually all over the place. He works at a cafe, he has a lot of friends. If he's... if he's still here, someone will have seen him.

[betheirstrength]

Yeah that is kind of a weird question but I've heard worse tbh.

Might have some hair on his comb?

[asaqueenshould]

I can imagine. [Whether Rise can even hope to keep up with the place all by herself is a concern, but not one Hifumi's going to raise right now. Not when they're not completely certain Souji's gone, yet.]

The door's open, whenever you'd like.

[princessascended]

[The implications are pretty obvious. Kairi's fingers hover over the keypad for a few moments before she decides to just go with a basic answer.]

Alright... If you're sure. I'll keep my eyes open just in case.

i havent seen him log on to the group chat in a while
or comment around on the network either
do you think hed be anywhere other than a gf's house

[dj_jiraiya]

he hasnt rly texted me much lately and i hadnt seen him for longer it feels like.

same thing happened w ryuji and ann. i think he went home.

[ If that’s good or bad it’s hard to tell, since Souji had been in that other place beforehand. ]

[foolishjustice]

I haven't seen him, no.
If you need company, my door's open.

[betheirstrength]

Thanks, Hifumi-san.

[It isn't twenty minutes before she will be getting a private message from Rise.]

[gracile]

I haven't seen him, Rise-chan. Would you like me to help you look?

[xioff]

Same to you.
I'll keep looking...
If I look from the rooftops, it should be easy to find him.

[betheirstrength]

Thank you. I guess I should go in and ask his boss if he's been in...

[betheirstrength]

[Well that's not encouraging.]

Maybe hanging out with Ren-kun? Or at work. Maybe he got another job and forgot to tell me, but I don't know.

[betheirstrength]

[At least Yosuke had the courage to say what Rise was afraid to voice.]

That is looking... like the most likely thing. Yeah.

At least, I hope it was home he went to.
