[ The promise comes easily, but no less seriously. Even if Baren had not asked, keeping him informed would be the most productive course of action. Who would be able to provide context better than he at this point? ]
Is there anyone else here who shares memories with us?
A very, very, very sore point. Baren looks over at Sakichi and - he doesn't know who Okuni is. He doesn't know that Baren is merely 1 of 2, incomplete if you know him and only him. Normally Baren has no concern when it comes to talking about his sister. He mentions her freely, though never by name. But her presence is important.
- which is why her absence is all the more poignant.
So he looks at Sakichi for a lingering moment - you're still missing so much - before delivering the truth:]
Nope.
[And he'll turn away immediately, waving a hand behind him and issuing out an instruction that he hopes Sakichi follows:]
[Being rooted in place is gonna cost you your guy, Sakichi!
Seeing as Baren is going to turn a real quick corner, into a random alleyway, and will then be hopping up to the fire escape and rooftops to call Tanuki to bring him the rest of the way home!

Don't follow me.
1/2
2/2
Then Baren turns to leave, and Sakichi is rooted in place out of sheer shock. ]
... Hey!!
[ And then he immediately jogs to catch up with Baren. ]
