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.]

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.

tw: suicide mention

[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?

[demonicbookworm]

[Considering that Ruca himself tried to commit suicide in the past, he would probably pick up on that, so that thought never crosses his mind.]

He's very kind and he likes helping people. I can imagine he could get in trouble while helping someone else.

[prodigalmess]

[ Sounds like the story of Malcolm's life. ]

Do you know of anyone that he might have been helping? Maybe someone he talked about in the past few days?

[demonicbookworm]

I... really don't know. Maybe Miss Lucy? But I met her on the same day he told me he had to check on her. Then later he went to help with the excavation.

[prodigalmess]

Do you think he headed down there at all?

[demonicbookworm]

I believe so. He left me a dragon plushie that was a reward for helping with excavation.

[prodigalmess]

It's possible that something could have happened to him out there, but I'm concerned about his texts to you. Do you think he might have had reason to harm himself?

[demonicbookworm]

No, I don't think so at all.

[prodigalmess]

Okay. If you think he might have gone out to the excavation site, that's where I'd recommend starting to search for him. People out there might have seen him. Would you like me to come with you?

[demonicbookworm]

I've already searched there a couple of times, but I didn't find anything.

[prodigalmess]

Have you questioned anyone out there? Other than by sending this text, I guess?

[demonicbookworm]

No, I haven't. I'm not sure who to ask.

[prodigalmess]

People who may have been out in the area and seen something. I wonder if anyone's still out there now.

[demonicbookworm]

Do you think I should post another question? And ask if someone who was in the area noticed something?

[prodigalmess]

You could, since we're not sure who else might have been out there with him. In person canvassing might be good too.

[demonicbookworm]

He vanished two days ago though. Maybe I should've asked everyone earlier.

[prodigalmess]

It's okay. You can try asking over the network and seeing what response you get. I might still go out and do some canvassing for you and see what I can find out.

[demonicbookworm]

I'll try. Thank you so much, Mister Malcolm!

[prodigalmess]

No problem. I'm sure you'll find him soon.
