Is there a reason the village was empty the other day? [Everyone keeps talking about a "missing day", but that's not an answer. ...not that he expects a good one.] And something else— Where do you go when you want to get away from someone?

[He doesn't bother filtering that last part. Why bother? If he wants to ragequit his house, then dammit, he will.

Kind of like today. In order to get away from the general annoyance that is his house, he is reading quietly in the tea shop. Surely no one would expect to find him there, right?!]

There's nothing wrong with it. [...well, depending on his reasons for running away, but for now, he'll give him the benefit of the doubt.] Sometimes, it's just better.

It's fine if you need time to yourself, but that doesn't mean you can just run away.
