Oh, huh... today's my 18th birthday.

It's kinda shocking, how quickly my time at the Academy's gone by... It's almost unreal to me.

Even though I still feel like something's watching me, at least things feel sorta... peaceful, right now.

I guess at the least, that's what I'd want right now.

[Event]

*from sunset to evening, Hitoshi's out and about, be it at the island or in the city.

He's yawning a little, though he's taking great care to cover his mouth when doing so. Seems like he just woke up or something. But... He keeps looking over his shoulder, too.

Whoever or whatever's been watching him has done it consistently, but he still isn't sure why or who... So he's a little on edge about it.*

"... Oh, so. If it's sped up there... It'd be just a few months maybe from our perspective..."

He hrms.

"That's... honestly very fascinating. I didn't realize it could fluctuate that wildly."

He seems vaguely upset about this, but it's not directed at you.

You say that this is fascinating, but...

Is something the matter, about this? You did seem to have some opinion before about our methods. Does that still weigh on you?

"Mmm. Not really. I'm a pragmatist at heart. This isn't great but I don't think you're actually being malicious or evil about this. You acknowledged that when you were talking about the stalking. If you had bad intentions, I'd have put up more of a fight.

It's more, ah... I've got a buddy who might be stranded in the 12 Dimensions. If it's been nearly a year for us, just imagining how long she's been there is... upsetting is all."

So a friend of yours... Depending on how far away she was cast out, then who knows how long it's been, at this point.

Do you have any idea where she may have ended up?

[phantomsoldier]

He shakes his head.

"Nah. It was an experiment gone wrong. We got some sort of demon out of it, if that helps."

Re: [Event Post]

[duelacademynpcs]

So Makai perhaps? Ah, well, with luck, she might have found her own place to be in the world she ended up with, if she hasn't returned thus far.

*he tilts his head slightly, as though... "listening".*

Seems like my nephew has found a building to take cover at, by now. I think I've stayed in the open for more than long enough, at this point.

Re: [Event Post]

[phantomsoldier]

"Nah, that's fair. I'll see you again before you leave, I'm sure."

He gives a small smile.

"I'll talk to your nephew. I'm sure he'll definitely listen to me."

The chances are very likely, yes.

I wish you luck in convincing my nephew to confront this.

*he makes a bow, before turning and walking, cane clicking on the ground.

you're pretty sure he just literally melted into the shadows, right there.*
