[Yeah this is definitely Hijiri. No two ways about it. Even if he had sounded different in this weird place for whatever reason, that carefree attitude would've given Toru the relief he needed. At least there wouldn't be much, if any, to explain because Toru is, well, Toru.]

Hey, it's Toru. Since I don't want to draw a lot of attention to myself, I decided to look through one of those windows the bracelet pops up and found you. [Boy he has never been so happy to see his nam. Of course that'll go down the drain once he starts exposing him BUT STILL--] I thought you'd like to know, even if I'm sure I'll regret it.

[ Maaaan, it's been a long day at the bakery, and Gau-san's disappearance means he has to wonder how long he can keep this job going, so when he gets home Hijiri's looking forward to just laying back and relaxing for the day.

Oh, what's this? Something in his inbox? Let's see. . .

Toru. They brought Toru here. The most important man in his life and his best friend has been put in danger on what will most likely turn out to be a whim of the gods.

Goddammit. ]

TORUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~ [ prob. just woke up the neighbours there but AS IF HE CARES!! ]

What are you talking about, man! Does the stickly-strict Toru-kun think I'll expose him?

[Cripes did he jump no of course not hahaha that's funny.]

Of course you will! That's practically your responsibility in life, or so you've made it! [... Maybe he'll get a break here NOT gosh it feels just like home.]

[Worry not, Toru! He'll just introduce you to all his frands!]

Why, I'm hurt that you think my aspirations are set so low! [No matter how accurate that may be--]

[Oh, how wandahful.]

I'm not expecting anything less from you, you know. [But let's cut to the chase.] How long've you been here, saving the world?

[Oreful.]

Hm~, a couple of months? It's been lo~nely, you know?

[That's just silly looking.

Ah, but he'd seen him earlier - outside this place admittedly, but. You know. If gods could take you from your "world" like something out of a manga and say you have no way of going home while, at the same time, saying you've got to save the world and that there's a gate to go home open that's actually nothing of the sort... Still, it's pretty fishy.]

A couple, huh... And I doubt you could be lonely for long, you're pretty popular back home aren't you? You probably found someone else to bother.

[ so's your face. ]

Why Toru, you don't think what we have is special? I mean, sure, there are people like Chiyo-chan and Kurosaki and Conan-kun and Hamazura-san and Feifeiry-chan and Ange-chan and Yori-kun and so on, but it's just not the same!

[wow i will wound you.]

Don't tell me you went through bothering people to see if it'd fill your loneliness. That's seriously too many.

[ bring it. ]

It's just a circle of acquaintances, really~!

[It will be brought!]

You're not gonna make me meet them all, are you?

[ then I'll kick it to the curb! ]

Oho... now there's an idea, don't you think?

[and i'll stomp it!]

Forget I said anything. I'd rather stay out of the way of anyone, thanks.

[ it's immortal! ]

But there's so many people for you to meet, Toru!

[no way!]

No. I'm not risking myself more than I have to.

[ don't you try to deny it! ]

Come on now, there's no 'risk'!

[there's no way that's immortal!]

Any sort of 'exposure' is a risk. Keeping low key in a place like this might be best.

[ fate is kind! ]

That sort of view won't be bringing much colour to the world, y'know?

[it brings to those who looove!]

There's plenty of people here to make that happen, or so it seems. Besides, you're colorful enough for the both of us.

[ the sweet fulfillment of...! ]

Tut tut, Toru! To make sure you don't get lonely and grumpy as usual, I'll introduce you to everyone! [ it's like his bff's protests fall on deaf ears... ]

[their secret longings~]

I'm not lonely and grumpy. [he says grumpily]

[ like a bolt~ ]

He says, grumpily! [ don't look at me like that. ]

[out of the blue~]

[He groans a little and shakes his head - though Hijiri can't see it, he can certainly hear it in his voice. Dat disbelief.] I'm in Odin. What about you? [i will look at you however i want!]

[ fate steps in~

he's far too used to recognising this yes. ] Eh~ If I'm over here in Hel, that means you're ages away...! [ o-oh... ]
