We could start by reviewing any exposed leylines. Our surface workers can handle the Liffey region, and the Spina di Rosula could easily cover most—if not all—of the Morte region. That would leave the Marechaussee Phantom to investigate the rest of Fontaine for any clues."
If worse comes to worst and we’re pressed for time during your 'absence', we can always reach out to the Traveler to see if they’ve encountered a similar case in their travels.
As for additional ideas, you’ll have to give me a bit more time to consider the situation more deeply before offering anything else. But how does all that sound so far? If your current state is tied to stress, then hopefully our efforts will ease your mind enough to make shifting back a little easier.
I was a passenger I didn't have anything better to do. The better question is: So who was the one who gave the unsatisfying handjob, you or your copilot?
I'm not being a sore loser...! [He is, just a little. He wanted to beat him at least at this...! But in truth, he had fun, and he's grateful to just be close to Katsuki, with him in a general good mood.

Fair enough. But there certainly are days that feel like the universe is exercising cruelty for its own amusement. It has yet to earn my forgiveness for that day of near-constant interruption a couple months ago.
[First a meeting, then Lazard needed something, then Zack, then Genesis, then Zack again--... By the time evening rolled around, Sephiroth had finally had enough, confiscated and silenced their phones, and practically carried Angeal off to the bedroom.
Anyway, he's glad Angeal has no sincere complaints. Much as he enjoys being lovingly difficult, he has no desire to actually upset his beloved.]
Oh? Perhaps a change that needs to begin with me, then-- for there are many things about you that can only be described as "cute". For example, your fond laughter when you're watching dog videos on the couch. The way you wrinkle your nose at the cafeteria's pitiful excuse for meatloaf. That little sigh you make when I'm running my fingers through your hair.
[Sephiroth knows how Angeal feels about this kind of thing, so he's careful not to drag it out overmuch, opting to finish the text simply with an earnest and very fond:]
But perhaps the cutest of all... is the way your eyes light up when you see me, without fail.
