[ Koga tries to comprehend that first part. He's been here for a year or so, and he didn't notice that kind of problem? Then again, he's cut ties from his relatives and didn't have much in the way of close friends to worry about him and vice versa. He does get the notion about the app being part of the problem though, and it would be overstaying his welcome to have Sena back up what the veteran users already know as fact.

He can feel a little upset on his... lookalike's behalf though. He met his parents, and this divide between what they believe is going on for their own comfort and what's really going on... anyone would find that frustrating. He frowns, rubbing his temple ].

I get it, the city and that Retrospec company-app-whatever does... has been up to weird shit. [ Don't snap at the messenger, he hasn't even delivered the bad news. He's decided to hold off for now... this flat is really high up. ] I don't have anyone long-distance I'd talk to nowadays, but that must be a headache.

[ A disgruntled sound comes from his throat at having to answer where the parent be at. At this point he wouldn't soften it up to make this guy feel sympathetic, Koga doesn't think they deserve it from their son who actually wanted to contact him and do this instead. So, he'll be blunt and his tone is almost flat. It's something between disappointment and feeling sorry for Sena ]

I honestly couldn't tell if they were on a business trip or a work retreat. Can you believe they wanted to meet up with my mom at one of the hotels they're staying at thanks to their workplace paying for it, how obnoxious. Where I met them isn't far from here though, another seaside city with potential to grow for businesses and that's why they were there.

Is it me, or they... really love working?
