[seventeenth]

So, I'm back. I guess? [Desmond still sounds -- and looks -- a little dazed.] I didn't realize the bracelets were that important. I'll have to keep that in mind.

[He grins, a little, his confidence returning.] So... what did I miss? Did this turn out to be a surreal fever dream while I was out of it, by any chance?

[What, it's japanese. I mean he's obviously Asian looking (do not let the hair confuse you)]

Same.

[Hold on a sec-]

Did you ever find that friend of yours you were looking for?

[seventeenth]

[The hair will never confuse him. He lived in New York.]

I didn't. [Desmond shrugs.] I guess she's not here.

[suppressthedark]

[...You have a point there.

Anyway, he frowns at that.]

That sucks.

[And he knows how it feels. He misses a lot of his friends from back home.]

Sorry.

[seventeenth]

Don't be. She's probably happier at home, right?

[suppressthedark]

Right.

[And he pauses, looking away.]

I wouldn't want my sisters to be here, but...

[What can he say? He misses being called "Ichi-nii" And seeing their smiles.

Well, more like Yuzu's smile. Karin must take after him...]
