[Filtered to Shiki || 100% Unhackable]

Shiki... You have known Minato for a long while, right? Can... Can we talk in private about something?

[What is he doing? What is he doing? But Shiki's the only one he can think of to ask to... Will it serve for anything? He's not sure. He doesn't know but... He needs to talk with someone and he can only think of her right now.]

[Filtered to Hughes & Adell || 100% Unhackable]

Sorry to bother you both but, can I talk with you? There's been something in my mind lately and I would like your opinions on the matter.

[Adell because he has been here for longer and is the leader of the Blue Rogues. Hughes because he trusts the man's opinion and is an adult and the closest thing to his father he has here. Right now, Keiichi would love to be able to have his father around to ask him.]

[Filtered from Minato Arisato & Haruhi Suzumiya || 50% Unhackable]

[This is a filter he fails with, he doesn't want to hide from Minato but... He really can't bring himself to face him now. So he tries to do a filter and ends doing a shitty job because he can't concentrate on it. Haruhi... Gets added only because of the subject he's going to bring up.]

So, New Feathers, are you guys settling in? Anyone needs help with anything? My name's Keiichi Maebara and if I can I wouldn't mind to help you guys. I hope you're not having too much of a rough time getting used to this place.

For the rest, anyone planning anything for White Day? Or did the experiment screw up with the will to do anything about it?

[Once he sets off the messages, Keiichi will take up to wander around the village. He hasn't dropped by Minato's house since he met Junpei yesterday, he just doesn't know how to look at Minato so he has chosen to avoid him for a bit. He will dedicate his day to visit the flowershop, remembering that girl turned into an airship from the experiment back in January, it has been a while since it happened but... February was too chaotic for him to remember that he wanted to check on her. He will also drop by the Welcome Center to help anyone who may need it there. And the library.

Other than that he may get caught almost anywhere in the village.]

Hey, Keiichi. What can I do for ya?

There haven't been any signs of Takano returning yet, right?

None yet, no. At least, none that I'm aware of, but I've been keeping an eye out, and none of the Rogues have reported anything of the sort either.

Yeah... I haven't heard anything either.

I'm still worried about how she may return... Specially if we can't get to her before she does something bad in case the syndrome is at a serious stage on her.

I'm worried too. But I think if something does happen, she won't get persecuted for it. It's not much of a relief for whoever might get hurt, but at least for Takano herself, if her condition is explained, I doubt anyone's going to blame her explicitly for something that the Malnosso triggered.

Of course, that's just if that scenario happens. You and I would both prefer one where we can get to her before something does happen to protect everyone involved.

Yeah, I would prefer that but... I'm... Scared that even if she's not persecuted that the syndrome's existence would be revealed that way it would... Cause problems for everyone.

Well, the good thing about Luceti is that there's a surprising number of accepting people here. There might still be concerns about things, but I don't imagine the outcry would be severe or anything. And even if people had a problem with it, the Rogues can take care of it and keep you guys safe.

Of course, that's probably not going to take care of the concerns of anyone with the Syndrome itself, considering you said stress itself can be a trigger, right?

...If that's the case, I'd much rather it be kept as quiet as possible for everyone's sake too. I'll make sure to keep my eyes and ears open as much as possible to make sure things stay this way.

Yeah, I didn't want everyone to know because of that either. Even if people were to be accepting and understand, they may still be worried and keep an eye on us... Even if it's meant with a good intention it's not a good situation for us.

But then I wonder, if the worst were to happen and the people learned about the syndrome like that, from there being an outbreak and someone getting hurt or even killed...

[He doesn't want to tell, but he's worried that not telling will just cause more problems. But telling is still not a good solution. He's really at a loss.]

Keiichi, if there's an outbreak like that, I'll do what I can to help and protect you and the others.

And if people end up finding out, the best thing that can be done if it comes out is to be honest and forthright with people. Educate them about what it is, what it can do, and how to be prepared. It won't be easy, but it might be the best thing to do in the long run.

Will that really be all right? Keep it quiet until it explodes, if it does?

I'm going to be honest. I really don't know. No matter what's done there's going to be consequences.

But if you decide it's for the best to start telling people... you can count on me. If you decide that it's safer and better that you keep it as quiet as possible, I'll be with you on that too.

[Keiichi sighs. Yes, no matter what there will be consequences.]

Do the Blue Rogues know? The people in it I mean.
