ATTN: ████████
Prepping for new Game. You will each need to volunteer one of your best Reapers temporarily for it. Up to you to decide who fits criteria of 'best.' Cannot give much info on setup, but it is based on that one Game from a few years back. You know the one. Comply with instructions ASAP.
[He doesn't know how close Setsu and Matsui were to Rin, but. Today is... not really the sort of day for that anyway. If he and Nahida weren't teammates, he probably would've waited to bring it up even with her.]
[she's been thinking, since she saw the announcement - trying to imagine a scenario where it did make sense. but with what she knows of rin, and what she knows of the other people here...
nothing connects. it just doesn't work. why would anyone want to hurt rin?]
Although I'd hoped catching Yuyu last week would deter anyone else from acting again, I... knew it was likely someone would. But I never imagined Rin might have been who someone went after.
I feel the same way. [He's an idealist, but not naive enough to be a true optimist. Still--why Rin? No matter how he thinks about it, he can't come to any real conclusion.] I can't even imagine how Haruka must be feeling.
[Like--they understand because they lost a teammate, and he knows what it's like to lose a loved one, but. This particular situation... it's not the same. EVEN AFTER WE'VE SOLVED IT IT STILL IS LIKE AAAAAAAAAAA]

But he leans over to look at it, then nods.]
That's the one. I thought it was a mistake, but if we both got it, I'm not so sure.

they were both blinded. how would they be able to tell]

...I'm sorry, Kaveh.

[Some deep, mournful part of him kind of wants to cry, just a little. He doesn't, but... man. Man.]
It doesn't make any sense. [Why they would target Rin, of all people. At least Hikari was a fighter.]
