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.]

Yes...

[He sighs deeply, then blinks.]

...Drive?

[triggerhappytraitor]

Yeah.

[[He nods over towards his bike. It's not technically a two seater, but it can indeed fit two.]]

There's a spare helmet in the seat you can use.

[demonicbookworm]

I... I don't know if this really is a good idea.

[He is worried.]

I-is this safe for two people? And what if I'm too heavy?

[He's very worried.]

[triggerhappytraitor]

I wouldn't have suggested it if it weren't safe.

[[It's said kindly, not as any sort of rebuke.]]

And unless you're much, much, heavier than you look, I don't think it'd be possible for you to be too heavy for it.

[[He might be teasing just a little bit. But just a little]]

[demonicbookworm]

Oh...

[He looks to the motorcycle and approaches it cautiously. It looks cool and interesting... Maybe it'll be fine?]

O-okay. Let's go.

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[The seat flips up easily to show the storage compartment where the spare helmet is held, and Tachibana holds it out with a warm smile]]

Let me know if you need help adjusting it. I assume you've never been on a bike like this before, right?

[demonicbookworm]

[He takes the helmet, then looks at Tachibana expectantly, waiting for instructions what to do with it.]

Y-yes. We don't have these kind of machines back home.

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Tachibana picks up his own helmet, pulling it down over his head, but leaving the visor up for the moment.]]

I'll be sure to go slowly on it. And if that's too fast, just let me know okay?

[[If it looks like Ruca doesn't quite get how to put the helmet on after seeing Tachibana's own, he'll step forward to offer assistance, but he's fairly sure Ruca will be able to catch on easily enough.]]

[demonicbookworm]

[Seeing how Tachibana put the helmet on, Ruca tries to mimic him and after a moment of fiddling he manages to succeed.]

Okay!

[He'll do his best.]
