Third Name - [voice/action] - Backdated to September 4th
[It's been a few days now since the refugees have left the village, and as glad as Takashi would be that the chaos has come to a halt, he isn't because its also been a few days since Tanuma went missing.
--Missing? No, that isn't quite right. Takashi knows what's happened. There has been no kidnapping or anything of the sort. Tanuma was sent home. If the letter he left behind wasn't a big enough hint, then the empty room that was once occupied and the broken filters kinda laid it all out in front of him.
Is this what Tanuma had to go through when he and Reiko left?
The feeling is... almost unbearable.
This house almost feels like it's gotten so much bigger all of a sudden. With it just being him in the house, it feels so... empty. So lonely. It hurts to feel this lonely again, to have no one, not even your best friend at your side. This all reminds him too much of his life before he met the Fujiwara's.
But he can't bring himself to wish so selfishly for Tanuma or Reiko or anyone to be brought back to this place just for his own desire to be with them again. It's better that they aren't here. Although home isn't exactly the safest place for him and Tanuma either... it's better than here.
He can protect him back home, properly. At home, he won't be treated like a lab rat, he won't get stuck in a war.
It's better this way. He can handle this loneliness just as he has before.
After giving it some thought, he opens his journal and pauses for a moment, then speaks.] Kaname Tanuma has returned home. [It’s been a few days since he left, but he’s not here anymore either way.] If anyone had been his friend while he was here… thank you.
[Really, he’s grateful to anyone who had befriended him. Tanuma has always been like him, quiet and just a part of the background—well, at least most of the time in the eyes of other people. He had been improving along with him back home so if he had been able to branch out here, even just a little, he’s glad. It's the reason he decided to announce it, in case he had made friends.
Just as he goes to close the journal, a black mass jumps off Takashi's shoulder and lands on the journal, cutting the feed off just as he starts to yell in surprise. Well then.
Later in the day, Takashi will be wandering out and about in the village plaza and bakery with a certain fat black cat draped on his shoulder, on his head or in his arms. Riou being here has made him feel slightly better but not by much. The ayakashi apparently can't talk and isn't as entertaining as Nyanko-sensei like this, but at least he's cute.]
