[ Asougi raises an eyebrow. Why would he hone in on that? Unless— there was that bizarre indoor rain storm . . . ]

Is there something I should know about this place?

[ryuwrighthistory]

Well, do you remember when I said how this world is run by our emotions? [He glances off to the side.]

When I was upset before, I caused that rain in the living room.

[exchangeable]

. . . So I'm the one causing it to be cold, then.

[ No use in beating around the bush. ]

This always happens? With everything?

[ryuwrighthistory]

[A nod.] It's more obvious when you're feeling strongly about something.

[...should he, or should he not?] Can I ask what you were thinking?

[exchangeable]

Hence the rain.

[ He sighs. How to phrase it exactly . . . ]

I've caused a lot of trouble for you. That's all.

[ryuwrighthistory]

[He tilts his head, and then proceeds to laugh a little.]

Yea, you did...but it's okay. You can make it up to me while you're here.

[exchangeable]

[ He seems surprised by that for a brief moment and then laughs as well. The room temperature warms a bit, and gets just a bit brighter. ]

Alright, fair enough. And how should I start, then?

[ryuwrighthistory]

[...In a rather small voice.]

Could you help me find my amulet?

[exchangeable]

. . . How did you lose something already?

[ did you miss this look. did you. ]

[ryuwrighthistory]

I-I had it with me this whole time! But then when I checked before coming in here, it wasn't in my pocket! [That means it wasn't there the whole time, Naruhodou]

Maybe it dropped after I came back from the market.

[exchangeable]

[ He pushes himself up off the bed, stretching. ]

Aren't those supposed to be important? How do you drop something like that?

[ryuwrighthistory]

[He grumbles to himself as he stands up.] Mm, maybe Wagahai found it. She found it the last time I lost it. [This is going to be a common occurrence.]

I'm certain it dropped somewhere in this house at least.

[exchangeable]

[ He sighs, shaking his head. ]

And what happens if we can't find it?

[ryuwrighthistory]

[Now it's Naruhodou's turn to turn down the temperature. Bits of color even fade around him as he's filled with dread.]

N-Nothing at first, but then...after a while, I'll essentially stop feeling anything. [UM]

[exchangeable]

. . .

[ He grabs for Naruhodou's sleeve so he can drag him out of the room. ]

We're going to retrace your steps. Now.
