[Quite a few days have passed since Kengo initially wanted to check in on everyone, but at least the wait has given everyone a chance to recover from the attack.]

This is Utahoshi.

To anyone I spoke with or encountered during the attack, please let me know your status.

To everyone, I'm looking for a human male: Japanese, age 17, 183cm tall. Dark hair with a red shirt and a black jacket. If he's here, he's very easy to spot -- he's talkative, energetic, never shuts up, and will probably try to be your friend. Please let me know if you see him.

[Since people have said that there are dead individuals showing up in Omega, he's keeping his hope of encountering his best friend again.]

[ Marco misses his best friend, too. But he'll do his manhunt himself. ]

[i don't even need to look at anything but your text speak to know who you are.]

He's annoying.

[this is why other members of the KRC like to tease him about being tsundere.]

[mathemagician]

[leave it to marco, asking the important questions.]

I want to see if he's alive.

Re: [text]

[tradecraftdude]

[ that's how he rolls ]

so the only way ull no if hes alive is if u find him

if u never find him r u gonna assume hes dead or just that u havent found him yet?

[mathemagician]

have u considered giving up n moving on with ur life

cuz this is no way 2 live

[ marco's only asking because he needs to hear an answer for himself. he's had his share of waiting for dead people to be confirmed dead and wants everyone to conform to his approach of letting things go without looking back. ]

He's too important to me. If there's even a chance he's alive, I want to believe in it.

I know it's stupid, but it's better than giving up.

[seriously, kengo is the king of trying to pretend he doesn't care about people.]

k well i no if i was dead i wouldnt want my friends siting around n waiting 4 me all day

n if i was alive but every1 thought i might b dead it would b funnier 2 just drop in on them once they let their guards down

if ur friend was a good friend he would prob want u 2 move on

[there's at least an hour pause before he replies.]

He would. His specialty was forcing people to be happy whether they liked it or not.

He wasn't even upset when he died. Someone he was close to turned on him and killed him, but he just smiled and said he appreciated the chance to see their true self.

What kind of idiot says something like that, anyway?

[okay, he might actually be crying at this point. this is why he prefers text communication.]

text; not locked

[tradecraftdude]

[ whoa mister gutspiller. it's probably good for either of them that this exchange is happening over text.

marco thought that he had finally pissed off kengo enough to get ignored again, but he's surprised when the message opens up again much, much later. he's already forgotten what they were talking about, and has to backtrack to remember where they left off. ]

i guess its sorta stupid 2 b happy all the time cuz thats not how ppl work

sounds like he lackd the critical human element of feer

but what r u gonna do u.t.? what hapened hapened

[ also known as suck it up, bro, this ain't my problem ]

[mathemagician]

[fortunately, kengo realized he'd said too much after sending the last message and stops himself from saying anything else. unfortunately, this means he's also going to avoid talking to anyone for awhile.]
