[ Avoiding.. it's a tidbit she didn't know yet, but it doesn't surprise her a whole lot with what Anri told her. Her tone during it said enough about what she thought about the whole deal, of course she wouldn't want to be near this guy a lot then. ]
And isn't the very reason she's avoiding you for [ or what Ange is guessing it is, at least ] enough reason for me to believe that if I absolutely can't find her anywhere else in Haven, you might have something to do with it instead?
[ ... she sighs. ] I'm not saying that it's the only possibility, since it could just as well, if not more so, be the people in charge here messing with her. But I'd just prefer that option to not be the true one.
[Masaomi is silent for ten very dragging seconds. Then...]
She told you why?
[In Masaomi's mind, it's always gone back to that day when he and Mikado forced her out to fend for herself. They essentially ejected her from their little boys club because they were afraid of her superhuman abilities. His thinking may have been warped by Haven, but it doesn't change the fact that by the end of it, he wouldn't have cared if Anri had died. She could sense that, he's sure. She knows. She's avoided him ever since, despite his attempts to win her back. He stopped attempting some time ago. He was the one who pushed her away; it wasn't fair of him to want her back.
He carries that guilt with practiced care and self-deprecation. The thought that Anri would tell Ange about it never occurred to him, but now that it has, his own shortcomings destroy him anew. Of course, she would tell. Ange actually listens. So she knows, then? How much more does she know? Is that why she was so angry before? She already knew how terrible a person he was.
The truth is that Kida Masaomi doesn't even know about what Anri's done to him. He asked for her to do it, and she instantly denied his request. Something is wrong with him, he knows, but most nights he just assumes he's gone insane.]
She didn't tell me directly, but after what she said, it was easy enough to guess.
[ Of course it's all just miscommuncation - Ange assumes that one way or another, Masaomi is very well aware of what is up with him. No way he could otherwise suddenly feel like helping Anri out so much at random moments and even crawl into her bed and just accept he feels that was even if it's strange, right? ]
.. Listen, I'm willing to forgive the whole bed incident [ since it wasn't technically his fault, so she can't say she still faults him for it - although she's too awkward to actually apologize for it too ] if you just tell me the truth now. If you say Sonohara-san isn't with you, I'll even believe you.
[ So she isn't with him. She's fairly sure that if he's supposed to do what's best for Anri and what Anri wants, then he can't lie and say she isn't with him when she is. Unless Anri wouldn't want to see her-- an awkward thought she quickly tries to surpress before it shows. ]
Are you going to be keeping an eye out for her too then?
[ And with that she just ends the call, not wanting to draw out the awkward any further - and if not just because every moment she acknowledges the fact that Anri isn't here out loud feels like she's hammering the girl's coffin all by herself. ]

Masaomi laughs under his breath. It's a complete surrender.]
Right. Sonohara-san isn't with me. I haven't seen her since I got back.
