.004 | video | Not his brother's keeper

[in_praetego]

[ He's going to keep this one short and sweet. Again, Airi's handling the camera, thus the wobbliness of the film but it's currently focused on a poochyena taking a snooze at the foot of Yukio's bed before turning up to her trainer. ]

For those who weren't aware, it looks like my brother, Rin Okumura isn't here anymore.

[ He really didn't know what else to say. Part of him is relieved Rin is home but part of him blames himself for not taking better care of him... keeping a better eye on him.

He figures it's up to him to let his brother's friends know. ]

If... there were any debts he owed any of you, please let me take responsibility.

Oh dear, that's a shame. But...it's nothing you can control, so all you really can do is wait and see if he'll come back. We lost someone from our group as well recently.

[in_praetego]

I guess there isn't... but maybe it's a good thing he's gone home.

[ A beat though. ]

Someone else left? Who?

[styxiedust]

My friend Keiko, things have been a little rough for our group since then. [What with the confiding to Yusuke about her non-human issues and all.] I would say she was the no-nonsense rock that held us.

[Ah but, she shouldn't be talking about herself.]

But Yukio, I'm sure Rin didn't get into so much trouble that he'd be leaving behind debts.

[in_praetego]

Oh... We talked about her once if I remember correctly.

[ There's a small smile though. ]

Well, I wouldn't really say debts per se... but maybe he owed someone a few favors... or some promises he can't keep right now.

[styxiedust]

...Perhaps. Rin seemed a little dim from what I was able to glean. Good-natured, but dim. [Shonen heroes are like that.]

He seems like the type to make a bunch of promises because he feels bad or like he wants people to like him.

[in_praetego]

He.. didn't really take school too seriously when we went. But he means well.

[ But she's right about him. His brother usually ran his mouth without rhyme or reason when it felt like the right thing to do... ]
