[Action]

[A little less than half of his Brigade opted to try to go home last week. About the same amount are missing due to kidnappings or whatever. Neku is missing from his house. Mikuru has arrived, reminding him was Kyon suggested a while ago, that they aren't his. And what's more... what's more, it's been a long time since he's really thought about her. And now just her, about all the others too. Zell... Rue... Ritsu-kitty... Osaka, Killua, and Misa. Mai and Excellen... Kotori...

Ahiru...

Would Ahiru have betrayed him the same way that Rena did> Probably. In those days, all anyone wanted was to go back. It felt like he was the only one in this whole damned world which appreciated this place for what it was.

Haruki Suzumiya is depressed, to put it in layman's terms.

And as such, he's currently moping around somewhere. Well, sulking more like it. But where to do it? All Passions is out, he doesn't want to deal with Shiki or Rosalie or anyone else that lurks around there like like Minato. The roof is out because it's too damned cold. His room is out because Rena is probably still lurking around the house. Good Spirits is out because damned if he wants to listen to Guy right now. Thus, where does he go?

A place where he's sure people have better things to do than to talk to him and where the only employ he knows is slightly less than a real person. Haruki is sitting in the far corner of Seventh Heaven. He's not even at a table, really, just up against one of the walls. As he's thinking about his old Brigaders, he's looking at "pictures" he had taken of them using the journal back when they were here. And then he flips to...

Itsuki Koizumi.

He's reminded of the situation with Kyon and Mikuru somehow, so he sets the pile down, scoffing to himself. It's then that he flips open his journal and pens the written part up below. After that, he flips to the back of the journal and takes out an entirely different set of "photos" - a small handful of Kyonko. It's been too long-]

Dammit.

[Naturally, if you happen to be in Seventh Heaven and spot him, you can feel free to try to bug him]

[Written]

Any of you guys that are around, I need you to report in now. [...He knows that some of these might not answer, but even so, he is still going to say it. Not asking for them makes it seem like they really are gone. Gone the same way Shion is...] And you better be snappy about it. I've been lax about Brigade meetings, but I expect full attendance tomorrow. Just... reply here.
