Yeah.... I can't say that I'm surprised - but don't worry, Matsu and I have been looking after Rin since we got here. He and Dee-san actually managed pretty okay even before we arrived, probably because of Hika-san and Yuyu-san.
Thanks. ...I wasn't sure how he'd do over there. [ as terrible as it was for them all to lose buzen, matsui, and rang at once, a little, equally awful part of him is glad that rin wasn't stuck with just his murderer and two whole other people. ] I hope we've done enough to bring you all back.
You've worked really hard. I think you can be confident in yourself.
[fondly!]
... Rin's been okay. Frustrated, but okay. I think he'll probably talk to you about all that. He's made good friends though, and everyone cares about him a lot. So... even if the circumstances were pretty bad, I'm glad I got the chance to know him.
[he seems thoughtful for a moment, pausing, before he just says - ]
There's a lot that I think he should talk to you about. If he's stubborn, which I hope he won't be, let me know and I'll poke at him a little. It's stuff I think you deserve to know, because you care so much about each other.
[he normally doesn't meddle but he also thinks teenagers are a little embarrassing, but this is the most he'll offer]
... it's a little my fault, even if not entirely. I know that week was tough on everyone, and I was at the center of it.
Either way... I just wanted to say sorry, even if you ended up not needing me in the end. Which is a good thing, really. I'm proud of you.

He'll be returned to you soon.

Sorry for leaving you so early, though.

I don't know if he will. [ they do not have any communication skills whatsoever ] But if you guys were looking after him—that's okay.
[ ... ] And that's not your fault.
