[It's two days later that another call happens. Komaeda has spent the past two days being put through the wringer in combat. By now he has some control back and a better idea of himself. The mental call is much more precise, but still not close to his usual level.] I'm starting to grow rather concerned. I haven't seen or heard from you since the trial. Not that I can claim to be much better. The first day was...difficult. But that was to be expected.

[He hesitates, unsure what to say to the silence. But finally he says.] I...am still me. The one you've known here for nearly a year. There's just a lot more feelings inside me than ever before. Sometimes I don't know how to deal with it. I think this repaired mind of mine is starting to remember more. I have bits and pieces of then. ...it makes me grateful for the teacher I have now.

And his lessons.

[Nothing in reply. His concern grows, seeping in like a river.] Hajime...I miss you. At least let me know how you're doing.
