[He'll answer pretty quickly, actually. Truth was, he'd already seen Zura's name missing from the phone. He had a habit of checking the device each day in case Shinpachi and Kagura showed up, and he might have even checked to make sure that his oldest comrades were still around too. There's a pause after Sakamoto's fake cheerfulness.]

[He responds all too quickly, panicked but doing his best to hide it. Usually he's an expert, usually it's entirely possible, but today-]

Yeah. Hell yeah! I'm home, but...

[Today, a friend of his may have disappeared into some intangible void.

And not even a beautiful one, not space, not cast out amongst the stars. He isn't even buried beneath the soil he loves, his body may have become a number, a fucking number-]

He hasn't been home for a few days. Z-zura, he's... He's clumsy too, right? Ah! Not as clumsy as me, but-

[The last time Sakamoto had seen him, he walked out in those red heels.

Had he stumbled and fallen?

Softly:]

Maybe he got lost. Followin' some cat or somethin' like that.
