[And there's another pause there, though again, it doesn't seem like anything bad. Just deliberating.]
Once in a while I start feeling like I need to. I'll do it then. It's easy to cover up here, far moreso than it was in Tokyo, but at the same time I don't want to risk anything.
Yeah, I know. I mean, I've done it a couple of times, but I always feel like I'm going to get caught? I never worried too much about that back home. I guess that's because I knew Fuyuki like the back of my hand.
...Hey, next time you're feeling like that, can I come with? I won't interrupt or anything! I mean, unless you want me to? I just want to see you work.
Ahhh...unfortunately, I prefer to work alone. With no intended offense to you, of course! It's just far easier to ensure that no one gets caught if we don't have to worry about anyone else, n'est-ce pas?
There's not really much to discuss... It's nice to know that time doesn't pass back home while we're here and all, but that doesn't mean I don't still think about my family from time to time. And it is nicer here than it was in Tokyo - objectively, it's much better, actually, near-apocalypses aside. But Tokyo was familiar in ways that Verens isn't.
It's all things like that; again, nothing to worry about.
[The crystal is feeling a bit strange, though; nothing aggressively negative, but it's definitely gone muted in a way that his messages usually don't.]
[Well, he can't say he understands, not really. This place is better than Fuyuki too, but that's because Fuyuki is boring. He can't say he misses it at all, though he at least understands the desire for something familiar.]
Well, I can't say I totally get it, but I think I can see where you're coming from. You won't be missing out on anything back home, but you're still here alone. It doesn't matter how many people you meet here, you can't replace them, right?
[He doesn't need the confirmation on that one, at least?]
...I'm really sorry, Tsukiyama. I'm still kind of a work-in-progress when it comes to sympathy and stuff, but I really do mean it.
You don't have to dismiss it like that if you don't want to. I don't mind listening. But if you don't want to talk about it, I'm not going to make you.
[The crystal is still warm, though it's lacking the excitement. There is some intensity there that can probably be summed up as "Ryuunosuke is trying really hard" so there's that.]
No, no, it's all right! I promise, it is. It's just something I think about from time to time, that's all; I wrote to Daimonia a while ago and talked about it a bit, that's probably what set it off.
[...]
Well, that, and I'm not...entirely alone here - there's someone I recognize, we're just...well, we don't get along particularly well, unfortunately enough.
Oh, yeah, I wrote to her too. It was... kind of a disaster. I should never write letters ever.
[BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT...]
I was gonna say "at least you're not alone here" but it sounds like maybe it'd be better if you were... Sorry to hear that! But hey, at least you've got me!
Ah, giocoso - why would I be joking? I go out with people all the time. It's just a date, Uryuu-san, it's not like I'm proposing marriage... Really, keep this up and I'll start thinking that no one's ever asked you out on one.

[There's nothing coming across the crystal, give him a second.]
You do the same thing? No way, you didn't tell me? Well, I guess maybe you thought you couldn't trust me?
[He sounds a bit confused, but there's nothing negative at all there. It's a lot of excitement, actually.]
I knew you were cool, Tsukiyama! I just didn't figure for this! Two or three a month though, that's... wow. That's really impressive.
So have you... y'know. Kept it up here?

Still, it's really cool that you do the same thing! You'll have to tell me more about it sometime!

Come by next week, maybe.

[That sure is a lot of warmth and excitement coming across the crystal, alright.]

I've been thinking about home a lot, I suppose.

[Most people probably get homesick here...]
Is there anything I can do to help? I can listen, if you think talking about it will help any.

At this rate, we ought to just make a proper date of it next week.
