[He's utterly exhausted, after Asuka nightmares, noctaere, warehouses and turning twenty-six. The strain shows around his eyes and in his voice. As a result, he's more caustic than not, and isn't thinking in terms of people's (mainly Sena's, in this case) feelings.]

If you're still alive, call me.

I've spoken to Iris, Ken, and Alice since that--ordeal began, but that's it. I'd like to know who needs funeral arrangements made up before the week is out.

[You should probably be worried by that smile, Youji.]

Um. Well, why don't you go back to bed then? You can sleep till the fourth or something, that's what you do when you're old, right? You probably need more sleep, grandpa.

Fine, fine. Exacerbate my suffering. You will regret it.
