[Ugh. He'd almost forgotten about that for a minute. But his response comes quick.]
Alright.
[In a way it's surprising Bakugo wants to look, considering the two of them didn't seem to get along. But in other ways, it's not a surprise. And isn't he in the same boat, planning to visit someone in the clinic whom he hasn't gotten along with in a while?]
There's someone we should talk to if we do find it. Did Till ever tell you about the person here from his world?
[Ironic, since that was the reason Bakugo called him.]
No. Are they still here?
[Another time, he might bristle irritated or even jet a bit jealous Hiyori knew Till more. But right now, nothing. Only one more piece of fact dropping on the world right now.]
[He almost says "Yes" automatically, but given what just happened...]
Let me check.
[And then he goes to look at the registry. He used to check every day, but hasn't been lately. Now it's only when he notices he hasn't seen a friend around in a while: an uncomfortably common occurrence, but not as much of one as it used to be. His circle of friends has dwindled quite a lot in the past half-year or so.
He scrolls past Esikko, still on there despite his death, before he sees Ivan's name.]
He's still here. His name is Ivan. His username is @ meteoric.
I'll talk to him, since I'm the one who warned him that people turn to stone here. Although if you told him your theory about the statues, that might not hurt, either.
Anyway, we should split up if we're going to search. Which area are you taking?
[Let me check. Reality sucker punches him in the stomach. How easy it would be to look into their contacts list and find a name they've always seen suddenly gone. A friend, a partner, a loved one... Wiped out as easily as paint over a streak. Two people he knows he's lost in the past week. Both of them tugged hooks out of his heart and left another bleeding gash.]
Aa.
Tell him to call me if he wants to know.
[Right now, he's wary about adding anyone new. Not after this hellish week.]
I'll start with Talon and Beak. I know them the most.
[Then UD University and Swan Lake, then the Ace and Jack floors.]

[He needs to get off the subject.]
In the meantime, I want you to help me find Till's statue.
[Not really a better subject, but activity has always helped him when his brain won't shut up.]

I'll do the Vale and the garden. Then there's a cafe I should check, too.
[...]
Before we go though, there's one more quick thing I should mention about Esikko-kun.
no subject
[He doubts they'll be in the suites since he's never seen someone's statue there, minus those who bring them in for protection. Bittersweet as it is.]
What?

[Re: the university and the library. But as for the other thing...]
Once he's awake again, I might be able to feel it due to that link we share.
I don't know that for sure, though. But if I do feel something different, I'll let you know.
