[neverplaysfair]

[ The camera is covered, but Joshua is making no real effort to disguise his handwriting. He's too upset for that. ]

What should you do if you're so homesick you honestly, truly cannot stand it?

[ A few minutes later, the following is added. ]

[ Locked to Haruhi - 100% ]

The friendship club might have to wait a bit longer.

[ It takes a little while before he responds. ]

I wouldn't say so.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

None at all?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

I don't make friends.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

Don't or can't?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

Shouldn't.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

[A long pause.]

May I ask why?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

You may ask all you wish. However, I won't be giving you an answer, so I recommend you don't bother trying.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

All right, then. I won't.

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

At any rate, that would be why I don't have any friends at all here. If acquaintances will do, I have no lack of those.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

Perhaps they could help you bring a little of your home here.

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

[ That makes him genuinely hesitate. ]

I had a friend here who could do that. But he returned home.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

Ask people around if they'd be willing to help.

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

They can't. He was the only one who was able to.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

You're sure?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

Absolutely.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

Did you try asking around?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

If there were anyone else who could do it, I would know.

[ Because he hasn't met anyone from other worlds who can manipulate Music, and if there were other Angels like in his world, there's no way they'd leave him in this sort of state. ]

[written]

[hiken_ace]

Have you been here that long to know, or it's just that difficult?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

Unfortunately, both.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

No luck?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

I was lucky enough to have someone who could support me as long as I did. I never truly appreciated that fact while he was still here.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

He may come back.

And in case he doesn't are there people here from your world help you?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

He's not here now.

Those who are still here help a little, but they only have the power to do so much.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

Is there anything I could help with?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

I highly doubt it. Especially if you're not from my world.
