Hello hello~

You've reached the inbox of your One True Love and Shining White Knight, Kida Masaomi! Don't hate me for not being able to answer your call--hate my friends who kept me from answering instead! Ahhhh~ such is the price of popularity~! And the newest class idol can't play favourites, you know~! So leave me a message telling me all about your undying love for me, and I'll call you right back as soon as it's convenient for me to do so!

Ja ne! ♥

[The text comes over late -- not middle-of-the-night late, but later than when Mikado usually sends texts, and late enough that he doesn't call for fear of disturbing Masaomi's household with noise.

It's also shorter than usual, at least for a greeting.]

Still awake?

[The audio rolls for about half a minute in silence. Finally, there's a slight sound of movement, but it's another moment before his voice is heard.]

I, um...

[It comes out low, a little scratchy as if he hasn't used his throat much lately. He coughs to clear it, but it barely helps.]

...This might be stupid, but... I just really... need someone to talk to right now. So... you're the one I'd want, but... this is... better than nothing.

[Another lengthy pause. It's a good thing there's no apparent limit to the rune's voicemail.]

...I still don't believe it. Or... maybe I already do, but... I don't want to. It's not... right -- it wasn't fair, there wasn't even any time to--

[His voice breaks and there's a sharp hiss of breath.

He's obviously on the verge of breaking down, but he forces himself to keep going, ignoring the waver in his words.]

We all saw it... no one could do anything, it... I'll never forget it. I want to, and I guess that's selfish, but--

[A small sound escapes him, half-choke.]

I'm sorry -- I'm sorry but I can't--

[A fumbling sound near the rune's mic, and then the message cuts.]
