---

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Riventon, this is Sharpsong. I need to talk with you.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: What's up blue stabby? kinda late. There's some commotion going on at the school, are you involved?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I am not contacting you to get out of a thorny situation.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: nobody better for getting out of trouble than someone who gets into it, take it from me. or don't. So then why -are- you calling me so late?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: But I do need help with something only you can provide. Namely, Sunbreaker. She may be involved. And not as a perpetrator.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Can't find her, and she isn't answering the phone. Is she hiding with you people?

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I don't have a line on her but I can in a moment. There was... a huge surge of energy in a place there shouldn't have been one, I'm already on my way there.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I want you to pick me up. Can you do that?

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: sure, you can't weigh that much. unless the question is 'will I do that' - in which case I counter with 'why'.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: This isn't the time for fun and games, Riventon. Something happened to Sunbreaker, and I need to know everything is fine.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: Sorry stabblueberry, but when you're half-full of dark energy the fun and games are kind of necessary during situations like this, in order to keep an emotional equilibrium and prevent cascade, so you'll just have to deal with me. I am on the way to help though. At least in terms of finding Sunbreaker. Still not sure why you want me to help you and what exactly you want me to do. You can follow me if you can keep up though.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: That is a lot of fire.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I am not finding her. And I can't reach the Dusk Zone. I assumed this energy surge is over there. Otherwise, it's not related to Sunbreaker.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: At least, I think that's the case.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I want you to bring me in your den to find her.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: look, taking you into the dusk zone would cause a whole lot more problems. because you'd die and then sunbreaker would be mad at me. also you'd probably make a really obnoxious regenerating rampaging youma. You may be right though, she's not showing up on any scans. unless she ditched all her energy which would be hard after a mess like this, regardless of if she caused it or was the target of it.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Mami doesn't look dead to me. And I don't believe she has never been there. Not with how close you two are, patrolling with La Crima and doing research like a merry family of darkness or something. I am asking. I certainly would never contact you if I could do without. I seriously need you to help with this. I can hold my own.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: And what do you know? Why do you believe Sunbreaker would be mad at you over me?

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: why would I take my girlfriend to the dusk zone?! no she doesn't go there.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: you have to have dark energy to survive there. not only is everything there hostile to other kinds of energy, the place itself seeks to convert folks like you into youma. it's not a picnic locale.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: you ask a lot of questions for someone with a missing unicorn.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: La Crima had told me things over there aren't friendly to you people either. I won't stay long enough to keel over from it.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Does it matter? I can't do anything until I convince you either way.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: no, the flora and fauna sometimes try to kill us. not the dimension itself, trying to eat away at our bodies and replace them with something else. it's a whole other level of danger. Look, I'm still working on a way to pull non-dusk people out there without you turning into shadow soup. it's in the project backlog. Also there's like two stable exits and one of them is the big evil tower you also can't go into. but, if she didn't go there, she might be at Clover Tower. It's far enough away I might not be able to track her. if you head there I'll jump into the Dusk Zone and see if she's just waiting or hurt or something. Just the cell service there leaves a lot to be desired.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Great, then you can have me as a case study for your project.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Listen, Sunbreaker is my girlfriend. Is that enough credentials, or something?

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: look. I promise. it's really not about credentials. it's that I am not going to be responsible for you melting away. okay. it's seriously, seriously dangerous. I've seen what happens when people who don't have dusk energy end up there. it still gives me nightmares. maybe you can survive, maybe not. but I'm not taking that chance when I can go look, if she's in there I can bring her out. just. give me a moment.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I will be waiting at Clover Tower. It will be me, Ula, and my twin.

(PHONE) Takashi Agera texts: I would ask questions but I'm just gonna guess it's magic. see you there soon hopefully with a horse.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Alright, thanks.
