H-hi Gau.

I got your present and the card. I just wanted to say thank you. It was really nice.

I'm glad you like it! Be sure to try some of that honey - I found the best quality I could for you! Try it on some bread with butter, or on fruit... and please tell me if the chocolates came out all right!

[He's far too excited.]

You didn't had to do that, I bet it was expensive. I will taste very good with fruit. [He loves fruit, it's mostly all he eats.] Yes, they were really good too. I didn't eat chocolate very often back in my world.

I need to cook for you one day in exchange of the present.

It should taste very good with fruit! But you don't have to do anything for me, really! I just had already told you I'd do it, and it seemed like a good occasion, that's all.

But it's only appropriate and I want to do it.

Well, okay. I mean, if you really want to. But we're friends, okay? So let's not keep score.

Friends...[It's so weird to have someone here to call 'friend'. So nice too.] Yes, we are. If you ever need anything let me know.

Of course I will!

Ah, Gau-niichan? I know you're used to working on cases involving a very specific group of people but -- well, there's a murder case that's come up. Would you be interested in taking a professional look?

A murder?

[There's a pause, and then he speaks again, his tone serious.]

Sure, I can take a look. Where do you need me?

We're in the Freya-district, you can join us for the scene exam if you come now. Otherwise, I'll fill you in if you drop by the hospital any time!

I'll come take a look.

Thank you! I'll see you soon.

Um, Gau? Are you there?

[She sounds scared of what she'll find. Surely he knows by now, if she does.]

Yeah, I'm here.

[His voice is very soft, sad. He knows he should try to put on a brave face for her, but he's not ready yet.]

Can I see you? I can come to you, anywhere at all.

I'm at the bakery.

The bakery...? [At first she sounds surprised, but by the end of the statement, she's impressed. He's carrying on with his life. He's so strong.]

Okay, I'll be right there.

Okay. I'll make it so we can talk when you get here.

Alright. [Her voice twists on that word, and she cuts the feed. She's got to strengthen herself before she meets up with him. It's not her place to be sad.]
