[Has it really been just two days? It feels so strange, sometimes it's as if it has been ages and others as if Minato just vanished from there. Keiichi isn't really bothering to try to keep track of the time even, still he notices it as well as a second absence in the house. Not that he didn't realize right away that Koromaru was gone but the chewing toys and such were still there so he didn't consider that the animal had vanished as well. Still, two days without seeing him is worrying and now Keiichi wonders if maybe the toys and everything is there just because animals don't own things for some convoluted reason.

There's only one thing he can think of trying, if that doesn't work... He will keep everything for a few weeks but he will probably have to start considering the idea of disposing of everything or getting a new dog and he's really not in the mood for that.]

Hello, A- eh, Sanada-san. My name's Keiichi Ushiromiya, I am... I was one of Minato's friends here and his housemate and... Eh, sorry for bothering you but, have you seen Koromaru? It has been two days since Minato... He hasn't dropped by home since then and I'm a bit worried, so I wondered if he didn't wander to you since you're as far as I know the only member of the group left around.

[Two days. Two days and his voice still strangles itself as he talks, specially at mentioning Minato's name. He would joke about it being as if he had died rather than just left, but with Minato... It's exactly that.]

[Be friends with someone like Minato is enough to garner many private messages sooner or later.

There's a distinct relieved sigh on Keiichi's end when he hears that Koromaru is fine.]

Thank God. I... I was worried that he would have also been sent back...

[He found him wandering around the very same day Minato vanished, huh?]

I guess he was the first one to realize it after all. Animals really have a sixth sense for those things, don't they.

[It's a comment mostly to himself, because besides all the pain he already has, Keiichi is stupid enough to blame himself. As if he could have done anything to avoid this. As if he could have realized it any earlier than he did and send the message, despite knowing that the moment he saw the empty room he could do nothing but crumble right there.

Akihiko's voice distracts him from his thoughts and he smiles a bit. He's not sure if Koromaru would appreciate it or not, but he sure as hell would.]

Yeah! I would like it! I mean, if it's not much of a bother. You could come with him for dinner or something. Eh, my fiancée and me aren't as good cooks as he was but he taught us several things and we wouldn't mind the company, plus seeing Koromaru again will be... Good.
