Winter's left Prismatica. I just thought you should know.

For how long now has she been missing?
[ Not wanting to believe that this might be longer than a 3 day period, which seems to be a somewhat recurring phenomenon. ]

Since the beginning of the month.

She should have returned by now since it's been more than three days.

[ She's clarifying the only other alternative. He doubts she's been killed either, because Weiss and himself would have heard some kind of report by now. Moonblessed don't permanently die here, they crystallize. ]

I'm sorry.
She's a strong woman, dearly missed.
How are you faring?
Another man I'm very close to was brought back home a few months ago. Life here has been stranger without him, since it's been so long since I haven't had him within an arm's reach.
Winter and I were starting to get close, too.
It's really unfortunate that she's gone.

[ The text message reads a little strangely. He's trying to rationalize things, but the weight of his sadness actually bleeds through, despite an attempt to hold it together. ]

I'll be okay, I think.
I'm trying not to think about it too much. I know I'll see her again, anyway.

[ Compared to someone not from Remnant, that is. ]

The same goes with your friend. The two of you will see each other again.

Right.
By the time we return, regardless of how much time is spent here, it'll be as if no time at all passed at all back in our home worlds.
There's no point in grieving too much while we're here, but I think it's justifiable to miss them anyway. I've finally come to terms with that.
I'm certain you have plenty of friends as it is, but if there is ever a circumstance in which you'd like someone to talk to, I'm here for you.
It doesn't have to be about Winter.

Honestly, I don't really know what to tell you that isn't related to work and Winter.
I've never really tried being friends with someone as old as you before.

[ sorry jyuto ]
