This is Atsuro! I'm not able to answer right now, which definitely means I'm doing something important and not grinding my team up to Level 999 in an all-night marathon session. I'll call you back as soon as I get this! Thanks!

[Ah, that was fast. It figures that Atsuro would have caught on.

...

But... It probably won't matter soon anyway, so there isn't really a point in picking up, is there?

The call goes ignored.]

[Not really terribly surprising which is why the next ring sounds a little closer.
Well actually not a ring since their doors don't have buzzers.]

Hizumi! I know you're in there.

I can tell because it's a good scene for a dramatic split screen showing me knocking while you wait until I go away; then there'd be a close up of us both looking melancholic. It's too cliche to not work.

[Alas-- somewhere, out in the snowy expanse that is Hinoto-Ri today, Hizumi sneezes.

It was worth a try, at least?]

[otakuro]

This is a waste of perfectly good melodrama!

[Grumbles Atsuro as he goes back to his room.]
