Oh, I see.

[clasps her hands behind her back as they walk, looking pretty relaxed]

Like I said, it's been a while since I've talked to him. Before the whole lock down. But he should be home now.

[and then her carefree mood becomes a little serious]

...He wasn't there during the lockdown?

I don't think so. And he didn't show up to Shinjiro's birthday party either. That punk...

I hope he's all right.

[even though she's never met the guy, he's a friend of a friend...]

...Me too.

[And very shortly, they arrive at the correct place.]

This is it.

[Then she taps on the door and waits for someone to answer. Hoping it's him.]

[Maka's heart drops slightly when Shinjiro answers the door instead of Beat. She asks if her friend is home and Shinjiro responses that he isn't and hasn't been around in the last few days.]

[And hearing this news makes her heart now sink to her stomach. So he ran off again? For what reason this time? The first, she could understand that it was because of Rhyme but...what could be the reason this time? And why didn't he tell her where he was going?]

[Maka nods to him and tells Shinjiro to let him know that she was looking for him.]

[And when he shuts the door, Maka lowers her head. She's worried and completely frustrated. How could he do this to her again? Just run off without thinking? The Meister clenches her fists and without a word, she storms off. Where she's heading? She doesn't really know. Too upset to care where she's going.]

[Xion just stands there while Maka talks to the person who answered the door—apparently, "Beat" wasn't there, after all. after the conversation is over, she reaches out an arm to console her friend—]

[but didn't anticipate her running off like that.]

Maka—!

[extremely concerned for the other girl, Xion bites her lip and decides to take off after Maka.]

[Finally, she comes to a stop.]

...I don't get it.

[She digs into her skirt pocket to pull out her guide, trying to see if he may left her any messages. But only gets more upset when her guide shows her nothing.]

I just don't get it. Why...

[it doesn't take long for Xion to catch up with Maka. still, she slows down as she gets closer, eventually coming to a slow walk as she makes her approach.]

Maka...?

[her voice is soft, with a hint of worry sprinkled in there. if she wants to be left alone, Xion will respect her wishes; she understands, since she's been in that situation a couple of times before.]

He always does this! Just run off without considering anyone's feelings!!

[Maka dials Beat's number and the tone rings....rings....rings....rings...voicemail. Frustrated, she hangs up and dails it again. Ring....ring.....ring...ring....voicemail. Maka growls and hangs up once more.]

Damn it! Just what could possibly cause him to do something stupid like this?!

[...yeah, Xion's more or less at a loss for words. once again, she stands there almost awkwardly. she waits a little bit after Maka's outburst before she speaks; she sounds very unsure, as if she doesn't want to say what she's about to suggest.]

Maybe something happened to him? I don't want to think that, but if he's not answering...

[She quickly shakes her head.]

No, no! Beat is strong. He wouldn't let anything happen to him. He's running away from something. There's gotta be a reason.

[she takes a while to think about what else they could do... she could understand Maka's determination.]

...Do you know anywhere he might be? Somewhere he'd go if he wasn't...feeling well.

[Her anger lessens as she shakes her head again. Her eyes fixate on the screen of the guide, for a while saying nothing.]

...What if it's me he's running from?

[It's possible. After all, he was upset long ago when he heard about Shinjiro's death and he ran off that time too. Maka slowly sinks to the ground, crouches into a ball.]

What if I'm the problem?

[She grabs the necklace he gave her.]

Why do you say that?

Beat cares deeply for his friends. So much that he will run away from them...

...

If he cares about you, he'll come back.

I know he'll come back. And I know he'll talk to me again. I know I'll...see him again.

[Tightens her grip on the necklace.]

-- But I hate it when he does this. I hate it when...he leaves me alone.

[Xion finally steps forward and places her hand on Maka's shoulder as a sign of support—she hopes she's not being invasive or anything. she's not the best at providing advice, but she figures now is more a time to try than any.]

Tell him that when he comes back.

[She looks up at her friend, her face completely red.]

--Huh?! Tell him? N-No way! It's way too embarrassing to let him know that!!

But he'll keep making you...feel like this if he doesn't know.

So I should just tell him that I like hi--

...?!
