hey, did that pet directory ever get made? there are at least four hamsters running around the observation deck. so far they're staying kind of close to me, but if they're yours, please come get them.

[Briefly, a video feed turns on. There sure are three hamsters sitting in front of Hajime, almost posing for the camera. The camera pans to show Hajime's incredulous, perpetually tired face, showing one hamster asleep on his shoulder.]

Whoa-! Wait, wait!!

[The camera pans back quickly to the three hamsters, except now they're all running for him. He lets out a yelp and the video feed turns off.]

i'll get with akechi and see if we can make one
this is exactly the kind of situation i was worried about, the kind where someone's pets are just wandering around on their own

[Does he look well?? He's pretty sure Alucard is making fun of him for yelping about the hamsters.]

yeah, i've never looked better than with four unexplained hamsters following me around

It is better than I expected.

I heard that you were forced to handle the matter with Rogue.
I apologize for not being there.

[He's honestly concerned that maybe it traumatized Hinata.]

[...The wry smile on his face fades, and it takes almost a full minute for him to text back. As if sensing his distress, one of these weird little hamsters climbs up his arm and nuzzles at his cheek. It's cute as hell.]

it's fine. you were needed outside the station. and... she's ok now, and that's all that matters.

[Boy! He sure is traumatized!! But like with most of his Issues(tm) he's buried it deep down inside, where hopefully it'll stay until he dies.]

I am responsible for the clinic, and by extension I am also responsible for your well-being, Hajime.

Thank you for taking care of things. I will try to do better.

i just feel bad that i wasn't there when she woke up
it sounds awful to say, but i'm sure she was dead. akechi's a detective, and he said so, too.

[So it's not just his own judgement here.]

i just don't know what's going on

Neither do I.
But I am looking after her now and I will see if I can discover what happened.

You did everything right, and I'm glad you were there. I simply wish that I was as well.
