[ Rin turns over the new information in his mind, wondering over it and the reasoning behind it for but a few moments before he replies. ]
Huh. I'd say you could've gotten drugged but all this weird magic crap might be the explanation somehow.
[ Is it obvious that he hadn't believed in anything supernatural before this? He sounds bewildered, a tad exasperated - it's a lot harder to figure out things when he can't really wrap his head around it. ]
By all means. I'll make sure to give it to you when we meet.
[He doesn't know if that'll make things better, but at least it would certainly make things easier to understand if he were drugged.]
Where I'm from, the idea of being spirited away into a supernatural world isn't uncommon, but I never really believed it until now. It's a little too surreal. [He pauses for a second though at the words.] Have their names stayed on the phone register?
[ Rin won't really hold him to it but... a hug would be nice, actually. He hasn't gotten one of those in a long number of months. ]
Think lots of people wished that'd happened to them to escape the war. [ He mumbles the words though they're definitely intelligible. ] But I never did either. Hold on.
[ He wants to check to make sure if anything's changed in his contacts. ]
Yeah. Don't know about all of them, but yours and Hiro's were still there. None of my messages would go through to him, it's what made me worried in the first place.
Being spirited away isn't always a better means... but I can see why people would prefer it.
[Ah, that would make sense then, judging by what he's said.] I heard it was the same for me, so I suppose it's a way of this place letting us know that someone's not around but not completely gone either, huh?
[ At least it's a shared gesture, because Rin can't help but smile a little too. Ah... It's hard to convince himself he doesn't actually care about people here. ]
I will, you'll be the first I'll call if he doesn't find you first.

[He will never give in, but hey-- at least Rin's joking, right?
... He hopes he is because it's actually weird rejecting someone repeatedly, how do people do that?]
No, not at all. If I were to be honest, I didn't even know I disappeared in the first place. It felt as though I simply woke up from a deep rest.

Lot of people have been disappearing.

[ It'll still bother him when it happens, and he really isn't sure if seeing a contact or not will actually be a comfort but... It's something. ]
Thanks for calling to let me know you're back and okay.

[He allows a small smile to himself at that, despite himself. It's not like Rin can see it but...]
It's my pleasure. I do hope that we hear from Hiro soon though. Let me know if you hear anything?
