It's you or it's 'you'?

It's me, it's Soubi. ~~I don'~~ Are you alright?

[several pen taps and false starts]

I was more worried about you.

I'm fine, I think. I'm not him anymore, ~~I just~~

You're really alright? ~~I can't~~

I frightened you. I'm sorry.

...It's fine. As long as it's you again.

Do you want the sketches back?

Th- I don't mind. They don't matter.

Thank you for not giving up ~~in t~~. And about [pen marks] that person. I can explain.

Then I'll keep them safe.

I was angry, but I'm not going to give up on you. ...no matter what, okay?

What do you remember?

Alright. Thank you.

Everything. It was me. I believed everything.

Then it's true - that Seimei is alive.

I'm sorry.

I didn't see him when he came here. It was Kio. And I wasn't certain it was true or that the visitors are even real.

You should have told me.

But it's fine. We'll get them both back. Him and my mother.

I didn't want you to be sa upset. I tried to convince myself it wasn't him, but Sheena mentioned something and I think [pen marks] I think they might be real.

~~There's no way to avoid~~ I've been hearing the same things. My mother came to visit me, a bit before you arrived. And yeah, I think they might be real, too.

I was ~~vis~~

I had a visitor the other week. It wasn't anyone important, but I'd hoped it was all an illusion or a trick. It wasn't somebody who'd be easily controlled and yet it didn't seem like he was lying. I -

It doesn't make sense, does it.

Who came to visit you? Whatever they said, they come to make us want to go back. I wanted to after seeing her, and realizing that she still needs me.

Really, it was nobody important to me. I only considered going back so I could get you out of here.

[pen marks because, dammit, that woman should be in here, not Ritsuka]

If we get out of here, it'll be as ourselves, got it?

Got it.

If you...have time today, try to find me.

I always have tome for you.

(although they mentioned therapy...)

You have therapy? I usually have it, too.

I guess I'll just nap.

...you know therapy isn't a bad thing.

It seems pointless. I refuse to participate.

It isn't useless. It helps to have someone to talk to who knows how to give good advice.
