[This is certainly not how this happened last time. But once he sees some Pidgey flying by he knows he's back. Sadly, his excitement dies down a bit when he finds all his pokeballs but one are gone, and that one is something he never had here last time.

Eventually he tries the Gear again. Neku pops on minus one pair of headphones but plus one Emolga on his head in their place]

So... yeah. I dunno if anyone remembers me. Or if this is actually the same place as before or not. But, uhm...

If you DO remember me, I'm sorry. About anything I said before. Or did. I really can't remember a lot of it, but trust me, I know I was kinda a jackass.

...if not, hey. I'm Neku Sakuraba. I guess. That's wasn't awkward at all.

[His Emolga chirps happily, patting him on the head. It's okay bro. And the feed cuts]

[...Well now that you're doing that it would be more trouble than it's worth to just continue texting a response, regardless of how irritated he is at the moment.

And so the video flicks on, revealing Nagi sitting on the edge of his bed with the blankest expression he can muster.]

Of course I have her. I had her the last time you were here.

[scratchitti]

...huh?

[unkinder]

[At that, Nagi's expression darkens slightly.]

Tell me the last thing you remember.

[video] locked

[scratchitti]

From here or in general?

[video] locked

[unkinder]

From here. You can tell me what you want, but from here is what I am interested in.

Last big thing I remember is you being chased by all those pokemon with that blue haired guy.

...that's still pretty funny actually

[unkinder]

...What?

[Even though this is something he had been afraid of the moment he started this conversation, he can't help but let the sudden exclamation slip out of him.]

You mean you don't remember anything else?

[video] locked

[scratchitti]

...should I?

[WHAT HAPPENED OH GOD]

[Nagi doesn't respond to that, instead glaring at the Gear with his jaw set.]

I will send your Persian to your PC. I won't be responsible if anything happens to her after that.

[He can understand Nagi being pissed at him for everything, but the other teen had... almost been having a normal conversation with him, which had given him hope.

Now this?]

Wait, what happened?

[video] locked

[unkinder]

I don't want to talk about it, if it's all the same. It's entirely possible you will be gone tomorrow anyway, so I would rather not have to repeat the same conversation for nothing.

[Even as he says this he knows how petty and childish it is, especially after all of the conversations he had about this, but he's too irritated to care.]

Expect your Pokemon soon.

[And with that, he cuts the feed before Neku can try to ask him anything else.]
