There'd been no reason to enter the Pinky Corridor; both he and Shiomi had nothing in common, and Matthias often grew bored of her solemn attitude almost immediately. Kira had compared her to...what was it, a superhero or something from her anime? He could never keep up with whatever she was watching nowadays, but it didn't stop him from tuning in whenever she raved about it. No, his reason for appearing was at the behest of Rien strangely enough.

Well, at least it wasn't Valencina. Everyone had been a mess after Yoshihide abruptly left, both internally and externally her mark had been made. Whatever, she'll come back eventually. While she may not feel it, Matthias' love for her would remain for however long it took for her to return.
