[ It was hard enough, waiting for the water level to go down enough so that Mary could return to where her apartment was (had been) without risk of drowning. Seto's hoodie, the jacket Hiro had given her... they were the only things she'd been able to find at the time, but now she can search for anything remaining from their apartment.

So feel free to come across a tiny teenager over the afore-mentioned days, getting drizzled on and trying to pry up pieces of the smaller rubble - and HNNNNNGHing at the bigger pieces of debris that she can't budge at all - as she hunts about. The stuffed animal she'd received from Lily is gone, the headband from Kaoru and Shiho has been twisted and bent beyond repair when she miraculously finds that... the dried flowers, from the bouquet Elza had given her... no sign of them. All of her tea...

Mary almost wants to cry, but not yet. She just keeps looking.

And don't be alarmed if she seems worn-out when you see her. It's not some weird elemental effect, she's just terrible at stamina. ]

[BRAKES ON THE SHIPPING.]

My best friend. We've been together for a crazy long time. [Too bad Daichi forgotten him where he's from, but that bond would never fade.]

[immobileyes]

So I have to spend a long time with you to think you're funny?

[ She says this, mostly honestly, but also because she doesn't want to make him sad. If his best friend is here, she's sure she would have met him already. ]

I should already be funny. Being a comedian is a thankless job.

[If there was one thing, he'd never let his jokes be put into question. No pleasing everyone, though...]

[theshiningone]

But hey! Some jokes are more harder to understand than others.

If we're gonna be together for a long time... [A long time considering their lifespans.] ... you'll learn to catch on. I'm gonna definitely make you laugh.

[immobileyes]

You can try to make me laugh later, then.

[ Which is a minor concession, but she's got some stuff to unearth. ]

[theshiningone]

[And finally noticing all of that rubble, Hiro shifts his attention and looks a little downcast.]

So how much were you able to save?

[immobileyes]

... My jacket. And the one you gave me.

[ Thanks to Miyako. ]

[theshiningone]

I'll help you see if there's anything else under the rubble. We'll probably find some treasure if we're lucky!

[Still optimistic even in these times...]

[immobileyes]

Treasure... I didn't really have any jewelry or anything.

Awwww... [Now he looks a bit down.] Then maybe we'll find someone else's jewelry.

[theshiningone]

And don't worry! We'll give it back if we do! [...] Maybe. Probably.

[immobileyes]

... We should give it back.
