Has anyone seen Sapphire?

[She hadn't shown up in the park today, which in and of itself was strange. He hadn't contacted her right away, because that girl could take care of herself, but when his attempt to contact her via communicator failed, he knew something was wrong.]

I couldn't contact her earlier. If anyone knows where she lives, I would appreciate it if you'd tell me. [So he can confirm that she was gone.]

Are you looking for a sapphire?

[Yamazaki doesn't waste his time for losing in details. This is his only excuse.]

I saw one when I watched TV. A certain British Duchess wears a big, beautiful sapphire on her finger, maybe it's the same sapphire you're looking for.

She doesn't look like a moocher, though.

[...Haruka had thought something wasn't quite right. She hadn't seen her double once that day and they'd never managed to successfully avoid each other for that long before.

They lived on the same floor, so... checking up on her wouldn't be hard. Just walk down the hall to her apartment, knock, and... nobody was answering and the lights were off but that didn't necessarily mean anything, right? Sapphire probably didn't like artificial light. Maybe she didn't know what a knock on the door meant, either.

-And the door was unlocked, but maybe Sapphire didn't know about locking doors! And the furniture hadn't magically re-arranged itself back into its original places; that was a good sign, right? She couldn't see Sapphire or any of her things, but maybe she was just... out. Maybe she'd just-

-left her communicator turned off and abandoned on the kitchen counter.

Haruka makes her way over to the couch shoved against the wall and sits there, unmoving, for a long time.

Eventually, she takes out her own communicator in order to reply to Giroro's post. She still hasn't turned on the lights so while she's probably still recognizable, her face is shrouded in darkness.]

I'm in her apartment. She's gone.
