[The whole Fear event was massively tiring for Komaeda. Both physically and mentally. He decides to shut himself house for a few days, trying to recover his health. Nobody needs to know. They've got other things to worry about more than him. Besides, if they discover how truly worried he was, it could end very badly.

Even so, he has to check on the people who called him their friend and make sure they are okay. That they are not dead or they have not actually left the city for good.]

Well, that was certainly an eventful few days. Or shall I say uneventful, depending on your opinion? Either way, it's wonderful that everyone is back! Or most of us anyway. [At least he hopes that the people who called him his friends are back.] It was certainly a massively trying ordeal. However, perhaps we can look at this in a positive light? Even if it wasn't intentional on Fear's part, one might say it was a test to see how we could work together and merge our hopes together into one and let it shine over the darkness of despair!

And in the end, our efforts did pay off. Hope did come after all! The city is back to normal. What a wonderful relief!

Filtered individually to Hinata, Drake, Yusuke, and Akira.

At least that's what I think. What about you? If you're still around, that is. [TL;DR - he's worried you're not.]

( unfortunately for you komaeda, his level of concern is beyond that nonsensical brand of negativity, this time. )

When everything blacked out so suddenly, I was worried...
Have you— been able to reach everyone important to you?

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

Everyone is important to me, Akira-kun! You're all symbols of hope and I want you to overcome something as terrible as this.

[Thanks to the self-love event, Akira may or may not realise that Komaeda might be deliberately dodging the question.]

[jocoeur]

( he is definitely picking up on that, and he is not just going to let you keep sweeping things under the rug like that... )

Just like you're important to us.
So if there's someone you're still looking for, maybe I can help.
I'm still... looking for two people, also.

[It takes a while for Komaeda to respond. At first, he wants to dismiss what Akira says. But there is someone whom he has not been able to get hold of yet.

Soon, he finds himself typing something else. When he hits the send button, he immediately wonders if he is going to get bad luck for it.]

Actually, there is one person who I haven't found yet. Do you know a guy named Hinata Hajime? Brown spiky hair, green eyes, often wearing a white shirt and green tie with an emblem on it. He's in my class.

[jocoeur]

( ah, so there was something, after all... )

Hinata Hajime...
I haven't met him yet but if I see anyone with that description I'll be sure to make sure to let you know.
I'll... be doing some searching, so.

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

[Typing that was a mistake but he should find out where Hinata is anyway. Maybe it will not lead to bad luck. The whole week was so terrible anyway. Maybe things will be okay?] I really appreciate that.

You're saying that you're doing some searching, though? I guess there are friends of yours who you can't find yet? I can keep a lookout if you let me know who they are.

[jocoeur]

It was..
Makoto Nijima.
She hadn't arrived that long ago but, after that most recent debacle I haven't been able to find her.

Also—
Goro Akechi.

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

Those guys don't ring a bell to me. Maybe you could describe them?

[jocoeur]

Makoto... her outfit would be similar to mine. It's our school uniform, too.
Her hair is dark brown and she keeps it short, with a braid across the top...

But Akechi, well...
He's slightly taller than I am, with medium-length auburn hair.
He may be wearing gloves.

( but at the end of the day... )

It might be
That they're no longer here.

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

I'll still look for her anyway. I owe you that much.

However, Akira-kun. If they have left this world then don't let that despair defeat you. Rise above it and let your hope shine! If you do, then you will be able to go home and maybe see your friends again! And wouldn't that be wonderful!

I'd be willing to help you out in that so please let me know if you need anything!

[jocoeur]

Komaeda-kun...

Thank you. I'm not sure what else I can say but that.
You're a real friend.
