although the thought of reaching out via text had crossed his mind (exhausted as it is) more than once, Otonashi ultimately settles on video for the sake of consideration. if anyone had seen Rucaβs earlier message and still had lingering concern, seeing him functional and able to speak for himself should alleviate it.
heβs not quite fine given the tells of poor sleep etched into his face, but heβs not torn to pieces or missing, either. ]
Hey... I just thought showing my face would be the right thing to do after I wasnβt able to for... uh, however long. [

answer... Right, so, let me know what you think..? See you later, switching to text.
( so Otonashi is running on empty, getting back from a series of unfortunate events, and letting everyone know heβs fine following some choice, sleepy wording. chaos may ensue. responses may come from Otonashi or Ruca (
