.004 | video | Not his brother's keeper

[ 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.

No, never met the guy. [ Turning her nose up. ]

I'm new here and was interested in how he left.

[ Ohhh.. that explains it. She's new... and kind of reminds him of one of his students. ]

I'm not sure you'll be able to find anyone who can give you some real answers. I'm sorry.

You just said he left so you must have some idea on the matter. I'll hear your experiences and decide for myself whether or not they qualify as a real answer.

[ Was said student pushy and polite because she certainly is. ]

[ Why yes, yes she was. Even has pigtails. ]

All we know is if someone's gone missing, they've most likely been brought back to their homes. I checked with the Pokecenter and they didn't report any unusual signals from Pokestar...

[ Pigtails add to pushiness +10, this is a known fact in Japan. ]

So that's how it is.

No real explanation, just that it's possible they've returned home and without a good answer, that's all you can hope for.

Seems like a pain.

It is.

[ A sigh. ]

No one has any idea who gets picked to go home or how it happens either.

And we're just expected to accept it? [ Pretty big expectation for a bunch of strangers. ]

Well, I was going to feel sorry for you, but if they've gone back home, isn't that better than being stuck here?

They expect us to. But obviously, not everyone's going to sit idly by.

[ There's a small frown though. Pity. He didn't want anyone's pity. ]

It would be better, yeah. I just thought that anyone who knew my brother would want to know. [ And an equally small smile as he calms down. He's proud of this bit. ] He had friends here.

[ Gross. Friendship. ] So couldn't they find it out on their own?

Maybe you're doing them a favor by announcing it, but it's something they could have figured it out by themselves so there was really no need for it.

[ Hey excuse you, Rin Okumura having actual friends is an accomplishment. ]

I just thought it would be something they wanted to hear firsthand.

So it's your responsibility to pass the message along? I suppose there's no harm in that.

I am responsible for my brother's actions in a way. But if he's gone home... the least I could do is pass the word along.

I suppose that's the right thing to do...

[ She doesn't want to think about siblings anymore so she'll be curt. ] Anyway, it was nice and responsible for you to do this. That's all I have to say!

[ You can almost see the tiny fluster that came to him. ]

Um... thanks for saying so. I'm sure my brother would've wanted them to know.

You don't have to thank me when I'm giving you a compliment.

[ Geez, what a NERD. ] You should just accept it and be happy with it.

R.. right.

[ Whoops. Caught him nerd handed. ]

I'm sorry. I didn't really ask for your name.

Tohsaka. It's Rin Tohsaka.

[ ... so it becomes obvious why she responded. ] And you're Okumura-san, right?

[ If he shares the same last name as his brother. ]

[ Yeeeah, pretty obvious. Have a nod back. ]

Yeah. Pleased to meet you, Tohsaka-san.

Likewise. [ Politely dipping her head. ]

I should leave you to informing the others about your brother's whereabouts.
