[It's not long after this that he decides to send her a text message.]
Thank you for the kind letter. I do miss you, and I am worried about you, even as you tell me not to be. But that is the kind of person I suppose I am.
I always liked having you around. You are a joy to spend time with, and I would like to talk with you again soon.
Don't worry. I will still take care of them until they find me no longer in need of doing so. But I will find something else to do with my time as well.
[It's a few days before Ginia writes back, a little bit because she's busy, mostly because she's ignoring her feelings. It mostly feels like if she admits how much she misses them, she'll fall apart and never put herself back together. With two gods, she can't afford to be careless with her emotions.]
I left the nerf gun in my bedroom. It's in the top-most box next to the desk. Help yourself to it. There are also dog treats for Lucky in my nightstand. I meant to put them in the kitchen but I forgot.
[There is the feeling a few people in the office would find an ambush via nerf gun amusing. Yet at the same time, there's the vague sense it would be more upsetting for the jumpier of Ebisu's shinki. They're not a temple of warriors.
The gun can stay where it is. Maybe coming back to chase them around with foam darts is a reason to return one day. Maybe.]
Okay. I might be slower in replying these days, but you know how to reach me.
["How's everyone doing?" she writes before deleting the message. It feels too cruel to ask when she's the one who left. Maybe it's not her place to know anymore.]

Please, talk to me again soon, Ginia. I miss you.
