[ A fact Maruki is already well aware of, thanks to Akechi, and he's getting there as fast as he can. Curse him being in the farthest reaches of Stellari that he's explored yet! And he doesn't even have his bicycle!!! ]
We met briefly back in November, around the same time Mifune-san was here. It seems he's reappeared just like she did. We don't know one another well, but I want to help him however I can. I intend to offer him one of our spare rooms, at least for a little while.
In the time that I've been here and from everything prior to then that I've been made aware of, no. There are some isolated incidents of people reappearing after a period of time, and it seems to be 50/50 on whether they remember this reality at all, but...
I've run into a few others who were here at that time and are now back again. These are unique circumstances. Frankly, the whole thing is suspicious.
We don't know how long they'll be here, though. So I want to do what I can while they are.
That's what I've been running through my mind while trying to get back home. There are no major common threads that stick out to me, beyond the strange circumstances of their short time in Visium before - the gold cuffs, the lack of a contract, abilities remaining intact...
It may be something we can't watch that closely, too. Something that's invisible to the normal eye, but still acts as an indicator.
[Arcana, his mind whispers, but that would be problematic if such a thing were in play. Akira has no way to access the Velvet Room to confirm any of them from here, and he doesn't even know for sure that's what's dragging them away. It could be something else entirely different, related only to this world.]
The most we can probably do is keep investigating. How did your trip go?
He also gets some crazy ideas, so Maruki resists the urge to say "he's only an acquaintance, but he has had his fingers down my throat!" even though it's true. ]
Roger that. I can run interference until you get back.
[Interference...?!
If Maruki attempts to text him, even if it's to go "hey??? what do you mean by that???", he won't be answering for a while. He might not even respond until Maruki gets home. Oops <3]

What brought this up?
the sound effect i wheezedfdklfsdjk,fdskm,fdskljk
[You can't non-answer him, Maruki. He's the king of non-answers in this house!!!]
I'll tell you after, but I'm curious now. Should I take that as a yes?
no subject
But the answer is no. Emphatically, no.
no subject
[For now... He's Watching him.]
Anyway, someone's at the house looking for you. His name's Adachi-san.
no subject
Ah, you've met him too...
What on earth made you think he's my partner?
no subject
[Wrong, on all accounts except Venat. It was simply the funniest way to break the news.]
1/2
When you eventually meet Izutsumi, please don't assume the same thing...
no subject
Although, she will refer to me as "her Maruki," so I can see how that might get confusing.
no subject

Please let Adachi-kun know I'm on my way.

I'll let him know, too. Good thing I offered him coffee if he's staying for a while.
[Not Maruki's partner... But offered a room...
Suspicious...]
Do people disappear and reappear like this often?
no subject

no subject
Suddenly, and with no warning...]
I'm assuming there's no pattern between them. Unless there's a common thread between Chihaya-san and Adachi-san, or any others who have vanished?
no subject
It's something to keep an eye on.

I stayed out much later than I meant to!

Just focus on resting and catching up with Adachi-san when you get home. I'll cook tonight. Do you want anything special?

I appreciate that, Kurusu-kun.
Hm... do you know how to make mille feuille nabe?
no subject
I haven't before, but I'll never turn down a chance to make something new. Do we have all the ingredients here?
this will be funny to you in like 90 more gameplay hours
Well... actually, we could probably use more cabbage.
If you can entertain Adachi-kun for a little while longer, I'll grab some on my way back to the machiya.
FDKLJFDLKFDK the cabbage... it holds many mysteries for me
