Souji Seta stared at his watch. Let's see, he thought, if it's the middle of June, it's been almost 2 years since I've been back to Inaba. How could that be? The town had made him happier than he had ever been in his life, despite the unfortunate events of his time there. It wasn't as if he had meant to abandon the place, he was just... busy.

His studies had been consuming so much of his time; it wasn't as if it was really his fault, right? They'll understand. At least they'll believe that I didn't want to leave them. But that was hardly fair, wasn't it? After all, he might have been too busy to visit, but it wasn't as if anything was stopping him from calling them every once in a while. And it's not just me, it's not like anyone in Inaba has been putting any effort into keeping in touch. Well, maybe that wasn't exactly true either. Nanako still called him at least once a month, and he spoke to her father at least half as often.

The truth was, simply put, Souji Seta hated long distance communication. Writing letters took too much time and effort, long phone conversations made him uncomfortable, and emailing and texing just seemed so... impersonal. He was just an old-fashioned, face-to-face kind of guy. He still remembered Yosuke teasing him about it all the time. Dude, get with the digital age. What are you, like, 80? My grandma can text faster than you. And then his partner would wink and smile...

Okay, this was getting ridiculous. Stop staring at the damn watch. It's not going to make the train go any faster. Just 14 minutes left until he would arrive in Yasoinaba station. Anxious, apprehensive, even afraid. I didn't mean to lose touch, really I didn't! I love them all so much. Oh God, they're going to hate me.

Or worse, he felt slightly sick at the thought, maybe they forgot all about me.

Okay, that was probably going a bit far. He doubted that they would actually forget him, but he still wouldn't be the person they remembered. He'd have to get to know each of them all over again, probably never having the same relationship they once had.

Well, whatever happened, he would deal with it when they all got together. If, he corrected himself. If they all got together. As much as Souji hoped to meet with his friends from the old investigation team, he knew that a party with just the eight of them would not be feasible. After all, this wasn't a reunion. This visit was about Chie.
