"Yeah... He and Smough aren't getting along... I'll tell Orn that you will try to quit the drugs... That is, if you are going to try and quit them..."

"I'll...I'll try. Thanks, guys...for trying to help." [b]"We're here for you, Iz. We always will be."[/b]
-
"Okay... I'll tell Orn the plan."
-
"Yeah, ok. Thanks again."
-
"You're welcome... Now I'm going to go try to find Orn..."
-
[b]Iza smiles, wanting Anri and Yuria to come inside. They do. Ornstein is probably not in his room, though.[/b]
-
*Sketch starts walking around the Dojo, looking for Orn.*
-
[b]There's no sign of him. Anywhere. None of the cameras have picked up on him either.[/b]
-
*He starts looking around outside the Dojo.*
-
[b]Nothing still. It's like Ornstein has vanished.[/b]
-
"Weird..."
-
[b]Suddenly, a storm pops up. Best to head inside.[/b]
-
"Hm... I guess I should head inside..."
-
[b]Already, rain is pounding down upon Sketch. From Iza's room, the lights are on, and Sketch can hear the conversation.[/b]
-
*Sketch listens to what's being said.*
-
[b]"...isn't usually like that..."[/b] "So what do I do? I'm not even sure if getting rid of my addiction will help..." [u][i]"We're here, Iza. Smough, Anri, and I."[/i][/u]
-
*He keeps listening.*
-
[u]"...And maybe Sketch."[/u] "Please...I know he doesn't like me. He probably hates me..." [b]"Don't say that..."[/b] "Why not? His sister kept me out in the first place. Tonight was the only time he even bothered to talk to me. He's avoided me completely."
-
*He just continues listening.* *Thinking "She's my cousin, not my sister... And I haven't specifically been avoiding her, I just haven't seen her..."
-
[b]"She's not his sister."[/b] "Bull." [u][i]"She's right, Y'know."[/i][/u] "Well...they don't like me. I'm sure they don't, anyway."
-
*He walks back into the building, heading for the apartment and still listening.*
-
[b]Sitting in a chair is Ornstein. He seems to be on his phone, texting. As Sketch enters the building, he sees him.[/b] [i]"Ay, Sketch. What's up?"[/i] "Whatever...I best get to it then." [b]"Sure?"[/b] "Really sure."
-
"Orn... We've decided that Iza will stay if we can get her off the drugs..."
-
[i]"Oh? Well, um...I'm perfectly fine about that."[/i] [b]He seems happy.[/b]
-
"Okay... And you seem happy. What are you happy about?"
-
[i]"Oh. Nothing much. Oh...I gotta go, hold on."[/i] [b]Ornstein abruptly gets up.[/b]
