['Keep calm'... that's what the video said. But he's anything -but- calm. With a fist slamming down on the counter, he finally lets it sink in. His jaw's tight and his eyes are steely.]

Some son of a bitch took Naoto!

[Then he turns his head away.]

And whoever did it must've taken Yako-san and Cupid, too. Damn it...! How did-!?

[He's at a loss. He's searched every part of Death City that he knew, but nothing turned up. He seems to have forgotten he was recording then, as his fists are balled his knuckles are turning a little white.]

Why the hell didn't I offer to walk with her to work...!?

That's the plan.

[He immediately snapped out of it, almost sheepish.]

...Of course.

To kidnap three so swiftly... how many do you think would be there?

Last time I dealt with this sorta thing, it was a whole cavern fulla Witches, but more people went missing. They needed fodder for their experiments or to feed the kishin eggs.

But I dunno. I heard Kid's soul wavelength around the city keeps Witches out. If that's how it goes, then it ain't a repeat thing... which makes me wonder what the hell they're gonna do with 'em.

Perhaps. No witch attack I've seen thus far has had such subtlety or discretion.

You think this the work of common footpads, then?

Nah, they slip somethin' into the water or roll out with zombies.

If nobody in Shibusen's gotten alarm bells rolled out for Witches, then we gotta assume it might just be people. I'm... glad it ain't Witches. We sure as hell ain't ready for 'em yet.

Small comfort, but comfort nonetheless. And certainly a foe we've less to fear in facing.

[He paused in thought.]

Know you to what end they've done this?
