And the number of students who attended this school? It feels so empty with just us.

No more than a thousand.

[ It's a small city...! ]

So, the population here really isn’t that big…

[ He hums. ]

That’s still a lot of people that have vanished into thin air.

Indeed. Are you worried about them?

Of course I am. It’s concerning to come to an empty world.

[ … ]

Has everyone died, or are they still alive?

Hmm. I don't think "died" is entirely accurate; some of them, perhaps. Some of them might've just gotten...lost to things out of their control. And who knows about the rest?

...Assuming there are others left, anyway.

Lost to things? How would they be lost? Is it like being under a spell?

You could say that.

[ She pauses. ]

You know, Fai, I appreciate the concern you have for the other residents. But I think it'd be in your best interests, at this very moment, to focus on building your relationship with Hien and...let things run their course for now, hm?

[ Which is clearly not what's going to happen, given the meeting they're all going to have soon. ]

We’ve done quite a bit of relationship building.

[ That’s all he’ll say about that! ]

It sounds to me like you’re changing the subject.

I am.

[ She'll own up to it, at least? ]

I don't like discussing what happened to the people of this city. It's very unfortunate.

That makes me want to know more.

[ He lets out a soft sigh. ]

But I know to quit while I'm still ahead, and I don't think you're going to talk about it right now.

Correct.

[ Sorry, Fai... ]

Well, have a good rest of your day! Here's to hoping no one comes by to bother you.

[ He sure has heard that trombone playing!

Fai hangs up before she can say anything back. Is he being passive aggressive? It's hard to say... ]
