[the response is very much belated, hours into the next morning, which is unlike the text-happy badou; he's clearly not spending much time on his mobile, for once]
[he's exhausted; since seeing the feed, he's been looking nonstop for Gau (or his b -- ). he hasn't been back to 1470 even to sleep, and he doesn't plan on it]
[and fuck, it hurts more than he expected; everyone knows, everyone can see how frantic he is, as usual, not to lose someone in the dark and the violence]
[he wishes things could be different, just once, and he hasn't given up on finding him (alive) yet]
[ and funnily enough, it isn't just lip service this time, it isn't just empty words and blind reassurance. it's optimism, genuine, all his own. it's hope. for this broken boy and everyone associated, they had to find meguro. ]
[he wants to believe him, but he's scared to respond to that, to get caught up in letting someone know that he believes, and then be an even more obvious open wound if... if they don't find him (or do, but gone silent)]
[but he hopes they do find him, desperately, all the same]
[ its the one place in town he feels truly secure, isn't that a laugh? in his office, he can almost pretend it's just another room in his ship, until he opens the door. ]
