I know everyone's caught up in this whole NPC thing, but... E-er... Actually, this might help, but I was mostly kind of curious.

I saw someone mentioning the fact that Shinji Ikari came back here despite disappearing a while ago... This isn't the first time something like that has happened though. The same thing happened with Fujisaki-san -- Chihiro Fujisaki. So... I guess what I'm getting at is: What do you guys think this means? For someone to just... come back to the afterlife a while after leaving it. I know this could also have relevance to the NPC we're looking for if it has changed appearances or anything, but still. I wanted to know what you all thought.

...A-and, um... I know we've never talked before, but if it's all right, I'd like to talk to Ikari-san about this too! I'm just curious, is all.

[He's about to turn the recording off before quickly adding:]

--Also, uh... Has anyone seen Obama? I think he escaped from my room and I can't find him now.

[Aaaand he'll leave it at that.]

Sorry I can't help. I mean, the person who was here before kind of sounded like me, but I don't remember it. Is that really not normal?

[He wasn't sure what he expected, really, but knowing that it didn't happen more often made it a little more worrisome.]

[sleepybuster]

It's fine. Just hearing what you had to say helped!

But... I wouldn't say it's not normal or anything. Just in the past year it sounds like it has only happened with you two. Yuri-san or one of the other older SSS members would know more than I do though.

Really? I guess I'll try to talk to one of them about it, then.

[Maybe. Possibly. If they did know anything, there was no way it could be anything good.]

voice;

[sleepybuster]

I'm not sure what they could tell you, but I think it's worth asking, at least.

voice;

[shinesbrightest]

Yeah. [There's a polite smile in his voice.] Thanks for the suggestion.

voice;

[sleepybuster]

You're welcome. But um... I'm sorry again for suddenly calling you out like that...

[shinesbrightest]

It's alright. I was just a little... surprised, that's all. I mean, I'm not particularly memorable...

[So the fact that people had noticed him and remembered him enough to talk about him feels the weirdest of all.]
