Hello, miss Higashi.
I haven't responded to your message, but I have been thinking of it and I truly appreciate your kindness. I know I am not deserving of it and I perfectly understand if you don't want to tell me where you currently are, but please respond to this message to let me know you are safe in this emergency. I will be able to leave my dorm and join the searches, to hopefully put a stop to it. The shapeshifter targets minors and I remember you telling me you are an adolescent, so please be careful.

I am safe, Mister Pierce. Much safer, I suspect, than any New Hires on the dorm floor will be.

[She means you, Pierce! How weird, right, people showing concern for your well-being!]

It means a lot to hear this from you right now. You be careful, too. No heroics, OK?

[An ironic statement, given what she's going to be doing during all this, but she's a Pretty Cure and he's a therapist. He's objectively more vulnerable than she is unless this monster is weak to being talked to death.]

["No heroics". Price has never been heroic, at all, and the only times when he stood up to someone it almost always backfired horribly. He won't be pulling any heroics for sure, but it would be nice to make it look like he did by the end of the whole deal.]

Alright. As soon as I find out something, I will update you.

Not if I update you first ( •̀ ω •́ )y

[Price is surprised and delighted to see that enthusiasm. He very reluctantly sends a smiley face.]

[Price is not aware of Setsuna's double identity yet, has only heard about a magical girl helping during the Babadon't incident and certainly even if he saw her in person in either he wouldn't have recognized her anyway because there were dangers to focus on. So he thinks Setsuna has been in her hospital room all along.]

The situation with the shapeshifter has been taken care of. The person they were replacing was Adora. I am not a fighter so I focused on helping Sam Winchester and the others bring her back to safety. I did not see you in the hospital, though. Were you hiding? Are you safe?

Thanks for your concern, Mister Price, but it's all right. I was helping Kokichi with tracking everyone's movements for most of it when I wasn't looking for ... well, for Adora, it seems, outside the dorms, so I saw it die.

[It is not ... technically, a lie. But she also doesn't want to worry him with the truth, just this second, and an explanation might take longer than she's willing to spare for a text message at this time. So he gets a slightly abridged version of events.]

Good to know.

[He ponders a bit before typing the next sentence]

During the Valentine's Day I took some chocolate. I was planning on gifting it to you, as a way to say thank you for your friendship, but I did not want to come across as inappropriate. Would you be fine with accepting this gift?
