TONIGHT, when you go to sleep?

There's a noose under your pillow-brand new, with all the knots perfectly coiled into place. Just enough rope to hang yourself from a rafter, if you stood on a chair.

Looks like they saw your little network post.

[He's been...thinking. Thinking for a few days about what Adachi told him about Yosuke. About what he felt with his own hand...and the horrible thing Adachi hinted at.

Something that makes Ichigo's stomach churn to consider.

did he really-?]

...Yosuke. We...need to talk.

[His voice is tight, restrained-trying to hide the dread and doubt he's been wrestling with. He...he has to hear this from Yosuke, first.]

[If Yosuke doesn't just delete the message when he gets it-and decides to actually listen to it, well...

When Ichigo speaks, there's a lot of anger behind his words. Anger and hurt, all aimed Yosuke's way.]

Stay the hell away from me.

[Click.

He won't respond to any messages coming from Yosuke anymore.

[Some time after, once Kon is safely home and sure that Ichigo's presence is nowhere close, Kon will open up his phone and call Yosuke.]

Alright, lay it on me. Tell me everything you know.

Yosuke-senpai, this is Shirogane.

When you get this, please return my call. I have commandeered one of the houses on the Boardwalk and am looking for others from home.

Thank you.

[Short, businesslike, and to the point. Although Yosuke should know that's pretty par for the course for Naoto]

[There was someone else Ichigo needed to apologize to. The person he'd wronged the most, who lied at the very top of his list.

Yosuke.

And even if he didn't have the strength to make it all the way to southtown, he still had enough strength to use orihime's phone to contact him - after he'd switched it to speech-to-text, of course.]

Yosuke? I need to talk to you if you're not busy.

Yosuke? It's Souji.

[ and his voice is as calm as ever, despite the fact that he's watching another little herd of mermen start advancing on naoto's house. ] Things are getting a little... interesting out here, so I was calling to check in. Are you okay?

MADE IT 2 UNDRGRND FACILITY. PIX INCOMING. PLZ SAVE 2 DISC & MAKE HARD COPIES

[Yosuke and Souji will receive pictures of whatever Naoto finds at minute or so intervals until the texts stop. It should be obvious what happened]
