[ There's a long pause, like someone isn't sure if his mailbox is recording yet. But there's two taps against the speaker, making sure it's on, and then a voice pronounces crisply: ]
Valour 5: I might remain at BARiTONES for a while longer Valour 5: Rest assured I will be back before there's any risk of turning gray Valour 5: You asked about what happened. Valour 5: During the course of the game Kohime harmed herself in an attempt to distress me enough to make me cry, and I offered Delores as a substitute, since it seemed like the most logical choice to avoid further harm Valour 5: They bought a copy from the store and she was destroyed Valour 5: I took it more poorly than I anticipated and it caused some complications Valour 5: I will be fine, but I need some time Valour 5: I ask that you don't share the specifics with anyone else on Taisho and keep the information to yourself. Vergil is aware — but I don't wish for Kaguya or Fox to worry any further Valour 5: If for whatever reason you believe my presence is required, let me know. I trust your judgement.
Mssr: I will not share this information, much as I wish to broadcast what a miscreant Kohime is to the world. Mssr: Take the time you need. After what happened, I would not believe it if you told me you were not shaken by the events. Mssr: And it is not easy, by any means, to be able to show others weakness. In your position, I do not know if I would like to return either. Mssr: I may disapprove of that unit, but if that is a place you do not have to worry about keeping up a strong front, rather than shutting yourself away, there is nothing I can do but accept it. Mssr: I will not share what you have told me. Mssr: With any luck, your presence will not be needed. I will check back in with you at the third day, regardless, though. I do not think you would behave in a manner so foolheartedly self-destructive intentionally, but the world is not one we can predict easily. Mssr: Take care of yourself.
