Hello everyone. My name is Ruca and I would like to ask for your assistance.

My roommate went missing. He has short red hair, he may be around 17, he's usually wearing a school uniform. His name is Otonashi.

Before his disappearance, he sent me some very cryptic messages. I believe he may be in trouble.

Please, if you have seen him let me know. I'm worried about him.

[Ruca has been running around, trying to find Otonashi. The messages he got are highly worrying and Ruca is blaming only himself, even if Otonashi specifically wrote him that it wasn't his fault.]

Do you know where he was last?

He definitely joined the excavation. I don't know what happened to him after that.

[triggerhappytraitor]

Possible he was hit by the same language scrambling we were.

Did you want to go look for him there?

[demonicbookworm]

No, that's not it. He wrote me a message. He told me not wait for him. He didn't want to tell me what happened.

[Well, he doesn't know the kid's roommate, but he knows Ruca, which means he's gonna stick his nose into this.]

I'll keep an eye out.
What makes you think he's in trouble?

[demonicbookworm]

Thank you.

He wrote me a message in which he said that it was not my fault and that I shouldn't wait for him.

[casaposa]

Where was he last? And do you know of any places he enjoys visiting?

[demonicbookworm]

He joined the excavation... I don't know if he went anywhere after that...

As for other place... I'm not quite sure. He only got here.

[ Two familiar figures in trouble, there's no way Ayer is ignoring them. ]

I know him.

How exactly long has he been gone?

text; un: asura

[demonicbookworm]

I haven't seen him ever since the excavation.

[bust]

[ Then, that's about two days ago… Before anything else, Ayer wants as much information as possible. A timeline could help him monitor the missing boy's movements. ]

But his latest messages, you received them today?

[demonicbookworm]

No. I received them on the 30th. I've been looking for him ever since and hoping he would come back. But it's been so long. I don't know what to do any more or where to look.

It's all my fault.

For fuck's sake, he's an idiot...

What were the cryptic messages? Word for word.

text; un: asura

[demonicbookworm]

"won’t be home for a bit. don’t wait up"

and

"not your fault. not anyones"

He refused to tell me what happened.

[dereban]

He's REALLY an idiot.

My guess: he probably got himself into an incident potentially trying to help someone and didn't want to worry anyone. Have you tried checking hospitals?

[demonicbookworm]

I was thinking the same actually... I checked hospitals, but nobody has seen him there.

Hey, it's Malcolm. What sort of messages did he send you?

text; un: asura

[demonicbookworm]

Hello, Mister Malcolm.

He said that I shouldn't wait for him, that he wouldn't be home for a bit and that it wasn't my fault. He didn't want to tell me what happened and it took him quite some time to reply.

[prodigalmess]

[ He wonders if Ruca's roommate might be suicidal, but he doesn't want to put that on the table yet. ]

Is he the kind of person to go off on his own? Does he get into trouble a lot?

[nojohnyouare]

He's gone? What did he say?

[demonicbookworm]

He said that he wouldn't be home for a bit and I shouldn't wait for him, but he didn't want to tell me what happened.

[nojohnyouare]

[...]

Was there anything from his world here. Or anyone.

I don't know him personally, but I'll keep an eye out!

What kind of messages was he sending? Is that okay to know?

text; un: asura

[demonicbookworm]

Thank you!

He said that I shouldn't blame myself and that I shouldn't wait for him.

text; un: asura

[spiria]

That doesn't sound good. It definitely sounds like he knows he's about to get himself into danger of some sort.

Do you have any ideas of where he may have gone? Or maybe if he's made any enemies recently that should be looked into?
