[shinji breathes into the microphone, static erupting through the speakers in short bursts.  he sounds as if he's been pushed past the verge of tears and onto the brink of absolute panic, but he has to do this.  he has to.]

Kaworu-kun...he's gone.  It was strange that he was gone so early this morning, but I didn't think about it.  Now it's been hours and he's not back.  I called his job and his phone.  They haven't seen him and he won't answer.  All his things are here.  Even his violin is here.  He'd never leave without it.  I can't find him.  He disappeared.  Kaworu left.

[an audible gulp, a shaky sigh.] And I can't find him at all.  Tell me you've heard from him.

Please.

[ there is a long pause. the crackle of breath over the audio. the sound of shifting, and a chair scraping across cement. a tense, buzzing silence. ]

... What did you say?

[ the way Shinji sounds, Madoka doubts he's up to reading text replies right now. and. and hearing someone else's voice might be good for him even while he's so worried, right? ]

Gone missing...!? [ possibilities fly through her mind, but she can't voice them aloud - that'd be too cruel. ] I - Shinji-kun, I'm sorry, I. I've never really talked to him before, but I don't think I've seen him since that night on the ski trip when everyone was in the big cabin.

... I'm afraid I don't really know him. What does he look like?

What? Kaworu, gone? [ WELL THAT'S. MILDLY PERTURBING. there's the sound of someone sucking in a thoughtful breath. ] That can't be right. I can have a poke about if you like, see if he left a trail of some kind?

[regalbearing]

[ oh, god. ]

Are there no other clues to his whereabouts?

[brokethecamera]

Ah...Shinji-kun? I don't think I know who you're talking about, but I'm sure they're alright. Try to stay calm, okay?

He's--? Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't heard from him in a long time. But, I will let you know if I see him, Shinji-kun.

Is there anything that you need in the meantime?
