[It's been two weeks since Riki was de-NPC'd, but the whole ordeal had him more or less keeping to himself afterward for a while. Not to mention, his best friend's birthday was only days ago, so he had been thinking a lot about his time alive, his home world, the Little Busters, etc. Feeling significantly better today though, he decides to go ahead and check up on everyone and whatnot after classes.]

It looks like bringing up memories really does work, because here I am, ahah... I'm sorry to those I was inconveniencing as an NPC, but I'm back now. I was a little afraid of going back to attending classes with all of the shadows around, but it looks like they don't really bother us much if we're doing that. ...Actually, it seems like there are a lot less shadows lately in general. I wonder why that is...?

I also saw that the Student Council elections are going on again, so good luck to everyone running! Though on that note, has anyone seen Kashiwazaki-san around?

[He figures she might have passed on, but... part of him kind of hopes not, as selfish as it may be.]

Kuwata-san?

[rumorbound]

I couldn't tell you. I didn't know her until everyone gathered into groups for the houses. I don't remember seeing her around the house much during school hours, though.

That's about as close to an affirmative answer as he'll be able to get from her.]

[sleepybuster]

[Sigh...]

Knowing her, she probably was in class. You're sharing a house with her now though?

[rumorbound]

That's right. As well as Yaegashi-kun and his friend, and someone else.

[sleepybuster]

"Someone else"?

[Maybe she just hasn't talked to them much, but even a description would suffice. He's just curious.]

[rumorbound]

A boy that one of them knows. Sorry, I don't know much about him.

[Even with multiple people staying in the same house, it's not that difficult to know very little about the others sharing the house.]

i thought these two had met but i was thinking of otonashi whoops

[sleepybuster]

Ah, no, it's fine. I was just curious.

Um... I don't think we've met before though. I'm Riki. Riki Naoe.

yeah that was otonashi whoops

[rumorbound]

[If Yuuko recognizes that name from hearing it said around the house since everyone started staying there together, she doesn't let on about it. Instead she simply gives a soft, airy but warm reply.]

My name is Yuuko. Kanoe Yuuko. It's nice to meet you.
