[This is not an exclamation. This is the very small, very wordless noise of somebody so awash in shock that they can't muster the presence of mind even to flip out.]
[Just to be sure - and panicking a bit too much to think to shut the audio feed off - he takes a second to glance at the bracelet screen. ...Well, it says Kanji now.]
Great. What a great help that is... And, and you! Don't make it out like I'm that much of a moron!
No way. I'm positive... [Although he doesn't really sound like it. Deflated is closer to the mark.] Even if I didn't call for a week or whatever... Shit, are you sure he's not there? D-Do I really have to try again?
[He bites his lip. Dammit, get it together. He doesn't have to lose his temper at another friend because of one lousy inexplicable glitch.] ...Nothing. Anyway, I've been busy too... I think everyone is.
[And yet he has all the time in the world to keep awkwardly lapsing into silence.]
S-So... I can count on you to just forget about all of that, right? You're not gonna get hung up on it and take it out of context and tell me you're gonna kick my ass again, right?
How am I supposed to know? Considering Naoto... [For something muttered under his breath, it's pretty audible, but he quickly raises his voice again.] Look, just do it, okay!?
Well... good! [Man, even pressing that reliable old button isn't making him feel any better. Still, when Kanji says he won't tell, he usually means it...] Th-Then we can both agree never to speak of this again. ...I think I need to go lie down for a while.
[Lie down, be thankful that he'll probably build up another decade's worth of bad karma before a sorry incident like this happens again, and put it out of his mind. Yep. In any case, he hangs up.]

Kanji!? Dude, since when...!? How the hell...!!

[He's guessing, here, but he can't think of anyone else he's ever heard Yosuke call 'partner'...]

... I'll bet he wishes he could tell you.

[Is there something else that Seta's yet to drop on him? he wonders, frowning.]

[And is he seriously that clueless? ... Maybe Yosuke's earned that one small comfort.]

[Sure, a pretty damn mushy pile of stuff about all of that, but...]
no subject
[Then again, now isn't the time to get indignant about that part...]
Rrgh... Whatever. If you're not going to tell him, I don't care. But you damn well better remember to... f-forget about it, all right!?
