'Busy, leave a message!
...oh, you've reached Hiro Hamada. Whatever. Still busy!'

uh. huntress???

[she....definitely knows what blood looks like, Hiro, no matter how Disney pure their relationship is.]

but ok! whats up?

…oh yeah. That. That would do it. So…uh. Yu and I sort of dissected his mask the other day. Right after the carnival, he brought it to my shop and we cut it apart because we were looking for something. Didn't find what we were looking for but the thing put itself back together the next day. Looks pretty flawless except for one single crack. What do you make of that?

oh

that they dont like it when you break them???

the ghosts possessing the masks i mean. or. whatever it is thats possessing them. non-ghosts. whatever. they probably dont like it when you break their homes

Something like that. But I don't think it's ghosts possessing the masks. That'd be too easy after everything that just happened...I need to test some stuff. You think maybe this is like the library books?

i dunno.

when i think about it, dont those effects usually happen really fast??? but i havent seen anyone acting all weird or anything...

i wonder if its something else. but i dont really know what either so its kinda just a hunch

I need to talk to Yu. I'll let you know what I find out about anything but this is I'm not We're going to be prepared this time for whatever's going on. But I think you might be right.

breathe

its okay

even if its kind of creepy scary. we will handle it. really. promise.

weve got this, hiro!

[He doesn't answer for a few moments because he's taking her advice and just breathing to chill out for a sec.]

...we've totally got this <3

[A few minutes later:]

Ignore that, my hand slipped.

[...]

no

i like it too much its cute

so i dont wanna ignore it

also you cant slip and hit the <3 keys i tried!!!

but they stack too so thats even better

<3333

...thats not too much is it

[.../INTERNAL SCREAMING.

Okay. Okay um. So. Yeah. Uh. He sort of took a chance with that one but she reciprocated just fine (and he thinks that maybe he shouldn't have worried so much about it) but there's a few moments of "Hiro Hamada is typing..." before he responds.]

...nah. Kinda seems like the right amount to me. And anyway there's this too <3 <33 <333 <3333 Kinda like a pyramid, and those things are solid. Did you know that in our world there's a pyramid that's like the oldest and largest in the whole world? It's one of the seven wonders and it's the only one that's still standing in pretty good shape.

[...Hiro what the fuck are you talking about. Maybe the point is just...that Ruby's a solid thing in his life and he appreciates that. But no. Let's just talk about pyramids instead.]

[She... definitely doesn't know what a pyramid is. At least, not the sort that he's talking about. Noothing about the oldest and largest pyramids in the world. But it's also not really lessening her enjoyment of this text message at all.]

i had no idea! i mean we have ruins and things but nothing super pyramid-y???

are your pyramids made of hearts or like

was that just to send a heart pyramid

because that's fine too

You can't just let this slide can you? No, pyramids aren't made of hearts, that was just to send a heart pyramid. It just sorta seemed appropriate, considering.

[Considering what...]

Anyway...I should start asking around. I'll text you later tonight?

just asking

[She just wanted to know, okay. To be sure. That he just wanted to send her a heart pyramid. That's important.]

sounds good! good luck, hiro, lemme know how it all goes!

[a considering pause, and then a second text:]

<3

[He doesn't have anything to say beyond that and he thinks about letting that go...but he's stubborn and wants the last word so:]

<3333333 So there.
