If anyone sees Kido for maybe the next couple of days and he's not back to his usual stupidly happy self, another Rider died in my world. A friend of his, and he died saving Kido. On top of it, the guy gave me something that probably would have let him survive the battle, but...

Anyway, I just found out about it now. I tried to stop Kido and Yui from blaming themselves, but...I think I blew it. Yui ran off, and I think I left Kido worse off than before. I'm not exactly sure how to fix this.

It would probably be better if I actually knew how to say that.

...That's just the way our lives are right now. I'm just going to do all I can to keep from being next.

It's hard to know how to say those things, isn't it? But I think... maybe if you just say it straightforwardly, they'll understand? At least... I hope they would.

Mm. Please try and be careful, Akiyama-san.

[promisedknight]

Maybe.

I'll try. Can't promise much.

[stillneedawish]

I understand. I guess it's silly to try and make promises like that in such a dangerous situation, huh? But, well... even so, please stay as safe as you can. And - if there's anything at all I can do, please let me know, okay? I probably can't do much, but if I can help you even a little bit...

[promisedknight]

Same with you. If there's anything I can help with, let me know.

[stillneedawish]

I will, definitely. Thank you.
