[There's silence at the start of the voicemail for a good ten seconds. Just a few distant sounds (which if Dave could recognize would point to a refrigerator opening and closing and someone setting out plates) and then finally an exhale.
No, this wasn't that kind of weird phone call or anything.]
... You should come down here when you wake up. If you feel like it. There's AJ and I made french toast.
[What the hell kind of message was this? He could identify some noises, yeah, it was like that game Tom Bergeron plays during Funniest Home Videos where you have to name the sound and—
Oh, okay. Shinjiro, no wonder why it was weird.]
Shinji did you just leave me a fourty five second voice clip of yourself doing things and then invite me to eat as an afterthought.
[Oh, hello, sneaky brat. Shinjiro opens the door and steps aside to let him slide in, and he's just going to go ahead and stare at him for a second.
He wasn't as easy to distract when it was something he was curious about, but he figures he might as well get the ball rolling as he starts heading back to the kitchen and comments--]
[He holds a plate out for Dave then, stacked high with toast. They'd gone a week without eating, so it seemed appropriate now to fill up all over again. He was like the witch from Hansel and Gretel.]
Don't think I can stick around here for long now, though.

[Most definitely. Although not really an afterthought, but who cared about specifics.]

[pause.]
I also wanted to know if anything weird happened with you.

[He's here. He's been here. Mentioning AJ was as effective as 3x Beetlejuicing Beetlejuice.
Also he's not answering that.]

I killed someone.
[So casual.]
action
Is that why you made a special breakfast.
[Dave would make a good priest. Come to his confessional and talk about murdering people, just bring him a decent breakfast to ensure secrecy.]
Did you kill them for the apple juice or the toast.

What do you mean, who did you even kill.
[He's not sure what he's expecting really. Kinda hoping this has to do with some endboss, but given what happened between himself and Micheletto...
Also, yeah, he'll be shoving a piece of folded toast into his mouth right there. No need to sit.]
Wait this isn't like your going away last meal is it. Is that why you did all this.
[Muffled, mouth 200% full.]
