"You have reached the automated voice mailbox of--"
"Um. Kozukata Yuri."
"At the tone, please record your message. when you are finished recording, you may hang up, or press 1 for more options. To leave a call back number, press 9."
[ It's taken him longer to find and message Yuri than it had with Rei, simply because Rei was one of his closest friends and he hadn't wanted to let that linger too long. It means that it's late on the 18th when he does finally get around to it though.
A few of the things she'd said had caused concerns amongst a few of them too, about how willing she'd been to lose her own life.
But he knows better than the other two boys that she'd made a good, caring decision. Especially knowing the final state that building had been left in.
The text is short, simple, but shows he's there to check in on her. ]
[Well. Looks like Yu wasn't kidding about the others reaching out to her on their own time. This is probably the most her phone's gone off in a day; t's a little exhausting, but at the same time she can't help but be amused.]
People keep talking to me today. I'm finally popular.
[ Sorry, Yuri. He might have texted you earlier but he had a leech attached to him all afternoon... aka his s.o. hasn't been too happy about what happened and he's had to stick around her before talking to other people. Now though... well. ]
Don't tell me you aren't enjoying the attention?
I suppose that's the best I could ask for.
Sorry I took a while, I had things to take care of first.
"lemmon" means beloved, I think? Translating it to a language you don't really know is weird it's just. A love song. It was the first happy song I could think of.
[ Then after, to clarify: ] I have a girlfriend.
[ Well at least it hasn't been a secret for a while ]
[is it really better to clarify here.] Sorry, I wasn't trying to make it seem like I was judging you or anything. I think it was sweet of you. I'm sure it helped him.
[The fact he feels compelled to clarify he has a girlfriend amuses her] You didn't have to tell me that. It's fine.
I'm sure Hyoubu was just trying to wind you up. He seems to like doing that...

I'm fine. I guess. As fine as I can be.
I talked to Yu.
[SO SHE KNOWS, MERLIN. SHE KNOWS.]

It's fine. I wouldn't have been surprised if it took you a couple more days or something, honestly. It's a lot to deal with.
Are YOU alright?
text;
Is it? Not one of my best days, that's true. It wasn't one of the worst either though.
text;
That WASN'T one of your worst days? You DIED.

[ I'M SORRY YURI............. He's more bothered by it than he lets on, he's just... not open about these things. ]
text;
I see.
[WHAT DOES SHE SAY IN THE FACE OF THAT.]
Where did you wake up? Mars and I were in the hospital.
[Changes the subjects....]
text;
[ #yolo
But... ah. Well. ]
We woke up in Yu's bed.
[ THIS ISN'T MUCH BETTER.... ]

What was that about lemons...?
[she did not forget]

Not you too...

[ Hypocrite... he totally went weird when he realised that same sex couples actually exist. ]
But he really does seem to be that kind of person, you're right.
