[ After settling in a new shinki and checking on Mikoto, Tatara takes a moment to himself to sit outside in the sunset and talk everything out. No video this time, friends -- he doesn’t feel like showing his face. And he has a valid reason for that. ]

Hello everyone. For those of you who might not know yet, Johan Andersen is gone. I went by his temple today to find it missing. From what I know, this means he’s gone home.

He was a dear friend of mine who will be sorely missed. He was--...

[ ...more than just that. And now, he’ll never know.

Tatara’s voice breaks a bit there, prompting a pause. But this isn’t a time for mourning, he reminds himself; he really should stop talking about Johan as though he’s lost when for all he knows, this is a happy affair. For all he knows, Johan got to go home -- back to his family, his friends, all those people who missed him dearly; perhaps even more than Tatara will. So after the noticeable pause for breath, an airy sort of chuckle follows. ]


I know wherever he is now, he’s happy.

[ That’s right -- wherever he is, I’m sure he’s just fine. ]

I took his shinki, Sakon, home to my temple. He’ll be with me from now on. I’ll keep him safe.

[ That’s the important part: Taking care of those left behind; those who are sad, (even if he is, too). He takes a breath, and even over audio only, one can practically visualize the forced smile he dons. ]

I guess that’s it! See? Everything works out in the end.

Somehow, it always does.

[His what. Something that someone couldn't see... Johan's invisible friends?]

I'm...sure they would. [His voice is slightly unsteady.]

[It recovers when he continues, though.]

They don't seem to leave much behind. Except the memories, I guess...

[Of course everything will work out. Of all the people who's disappeared, Johan is the one he most believes is alive. Because he has to be.]

Hah, that's a good way of putting it. [Even though he's a shinki and has already... Best not to mention that fact, though.]

No, that's... You're the one who sounds more upset. How about I turn that question back on you?

[He did meet Johan when he first arrived, but...] I don't know about that...

[He didn't know where Tonatiuh Temple was, for example.]

Don't sell yourself short.

[That insistence on doing something for someone else, though...] You're not...trying to to distract yourself with that question, are you? [So he assumes, since he does it to himself at times, albeit with a different emotion.]

Is there anyone else with you who knew him? [Talking about someone you miss isn't a bad way to do things, it's just...Fubuki can't.]

[If there's no one else, then he can't leave this guy alone...]

We met when the temples around the world opened up...I just happened to bump into him. [And that's all he can safely say; he can't allow himself to remember what happened there without his curiosity taking over.]

Minerva, right? How about you?

That sounds like him. [...Does it? Of course it does, and he's moving on from that thought.]

I'm Fubuki. Nice to meet you, even under these circumstances...

[There's a blank pause, like he'd turned the phone away for a second.]

I'm sorry...I have to switch to texting.

[A minute later—]

If you need to talk to someone about him, I'll listen.

You too. Don't overdo it.

[What was that last part supposed to mean? Even he doesn't know, but it sounds about right. Maybe it's because he says it to his own god.]

See you again.
