Yuya Sakaki is gone.

It's one more name to add to the list of people who disappeared recently. But I still want to believe that those who disappeared will show up here again. In fact, Yuya had vanished once before but came back after some time.

[And now he's gone again.

Yuto sighs, struggling to keep himself calm and collected. Yuya is gone again and Yuto feels he's failed to keep his god safe, even though he knows he couldn't do anything about that anyway. He's already tried searching for him everywhere, too and it painfully reminded him of the last time when Yuya had suddenly vanished.

And so he tells himself yet again that Yuya will come back, but this is not enough to make him feel any less sad.]

It is frustrating. I've had at least one person vanish on me recently as well, and it has to be that much worse if it's someone like him. And not even the old gods - or at least, the ones who even associate with us - seem to have any damn clue what's causing it, which only makes it worse.

Even if you can't protect someone from that, you can protect them in other ways. Think about the people you still want to do that for.

So nobody knows anything? I only hope the people who disappeared are all save, wherever they are right now.

[Hoping, believing - that's all they can do.]

And I know. I didn't forget about them. I will do everything I can to protect them...

[revolutionfalcon]

All of the old gods I've spoken to so far have said they don't know anything about it. Even the ones who'd probably brag about it if they did know anything haven't said a word. There's not much we can do but hope they returned to their own worlds.

That's all anyone can do. Whoever you choose should be grateful to have someone so loyal.

[A bit ironic coming from the person who spurns all gratitude and apologies towards himself as pointless, but it's Yuto. He deserves better than this.]

[darkduelist]

I see. I suppose it really is all that we can do. But if that's really true, if they really go back to their world then what exactly awaits them there?

But there's no point thinking about it either, right?

[After writing that, Yuto can't help but sigh to himself.]

There's nothing to be grateful about. I just want to do what I can.

[revolutionfalcon]

Not really. We can never find out unless they tell us themselves, and by the time we start worrying about it it's too late for that. Dwelling on it will only make it harder to keep going.

If I'm talking about gratitude despite how useless I think it is, there is something. With the number of shinki here who stir trouble for the hell of it, refuse to even work alongside a god who wants them as an equal or a friend when anyone decent is as uncomfortable with this as they are, someone who's capable and willing to work with them is something worth that sentiment, however pointless.

[darkduelist]

Right.

The shinki who refuse to do their job are just irresponsible, but I know what you mean. I'll do my best to make myself useful.

[revolutionfalcon]

Good. It should help take your mind off things as well.

If you do need anything later on, you can contact me, but I'm sure you can handle this otherwise.

[darkduelist]

I'll do my best. But thanks.
