[Kazuma is obviously in the Archives. The looming shelves, claustrophobic framing, and dim lighting is more than enough to give that away. There are open tomes around him, but he isn't reading any of them; instead, he's considering the camera with a quizzical look, chin in his hand as he leans on the table he's at.]

Before the patrons of this place decide to plague us with more of the same, I have a mundane question for all of you.

We have many places we can choose to make our homes here. I am currently in Crenshaw, previously in Willful Machine...I moved with someone I know well. The point being, there are reasons we choose these places, correct?

What drew you to yours? What merits does it have to have others consider it? Is it because of people you know, or something else?

[He sighs and drums his fingers on the tabletop.] I just never really gave my own lodging much thought...I am wondering if most of us settle where it is convenient, or if we find other reasons to gravitate to where we end up.

[Oh Manabu.

At least he finds the fact that he missed the vibe kind of funny. In some weird, 'ah yes, the cosmos hates me and this is fine' kind of way.]

It's not that pressing, Manabu. You can take your time getting here.

[siriusly]

Eh-? Oh, yeah, I--I mean, I'll show up! Sorry, I'm just kind of...all over the place. [because if you just keep absolutely busy all the time you don't have to think about things.]

After I check in at the outpost. Definitely.

[truerevival]

I can see that...If you need any help, you know you can ask. [Completely missing the point of why he might be so busy.]

We'll be here.

[siriusly]

Unless you want to get into the bartending business, I think it should be okay, I'll--

[?? we'll be here?

oh.

ah.]

Auh, I'll see...see you then!

[truerevival]

It's not as though Trench is in dire need of lawyers...

[...]

Everything all right?

[siriusly]

Huh-? Uoh, ye-yeah! Yeah, I'm just-- There's a lot going on to juggle. I didn't realize it was all stacking up until I said it all out loud, eh-eheh...

[truerevival]

You should really try to find a way to cut that back...

[siriusly]

[withering:] Yeah, probably... I just gotta...figure out how to take care of the stuff Diluc's left behind. So if he comes back, he's not coming back to cobwebs.
