I apologize if I caused a panic.

[ You know, suddenly disappearing and thing. ]

[condoner]

It's good to know that you're back. And you missed all the horrible things, too.
How lucky.

[coefficiency]

So it seems. I caught some of what was going on; should I know the rest?

[condoner]

There were ghosts - ones that could possess you, and ones that could take the form of somebody you care about.
It seems a lot of people died because of them.
I'm really glad to hear that you weren't one of the casualties.
Thank you for updating me.

[coefficiency]

That's upsetting.

I hope no one you were close to had that happen to them.

I was sent home for a little while, like you did before. Quite a bit has happened.

[condoner]

No, thankfully not.
What's the last thing you recall from home?

[coefficiency]

[ Well, the most significant thing he remembers is punching someone, but that's not what she's asking. ]

We resolved what was going on in Shambala. Somewhat.

[ He doubts it's all neatly tied up, even if they did a pretty good job of eradicating much of the corruption. ]

[condoner]

You might have gone far more into the future than I have.
The last job we did was to take care of Kamui.

[coefficiency]

Ah, yes. That's a few years in the past for me at this point.

[condoner]

[ gino... ]

Ah, that makes you so old now.

[coefficiency]

Tsunemori..............

I mean logistically, yes.

[ WHY!!! ]

[condoner]

It's just a joke. Please don't take it too seriously.

[coefficiency]

It's also unfortunately true. Does this give me seniority?

[condoner]

Are you a senior citizen now?

[ SORRY, GINO. ]

[coefficiency]

I'm fairly sure I'm a few years away from qualifying for that and pension.

Unless more time passed than I thought. Senility is one of the first signs.

[ Ok fine he's going with this joke. ]

[condoner]

Should I get you a cane for your birthday?

[coefficiency]

Do you think it'll make me look distinguished?

[condoner]

Only if you wear a bowtie with it.

[coefficiency]

I'll have to pass then. Bowties do not look good on me.

[condoner]

[ just you wait until she sees ur new buff body. she'd want you in just a bowtie, gino. ]

I'm sure that's not true.

video

[coefficiency]

[ He's actually flipping to video because he's in the middle of washing dishes. But also, his unamused look is easier to convey this way. ]

Bowties are outdated, Tsunemori. That was my father's time, probably.

BABE

[condoner]

[ this is akane getting up from her seat, totally dumbfounded at what she sees. ]

You look so different now.

[coefficiency]

[ His eyebrows go up a fraction at her look, but he keeps that to himself. ]

I did say a few years passed. [ Shrug. ] Time changes everyone.

[condoner]

Did I ever grow my hair long?

[ asking the important questions here ]

[coefficiency]

No. You said it would be too much of a hassle.

[ a pause ]

Did you want to grow it out for some reason?
