Oh. Somebody you know already went missing? Sorry.
I wouldn't say it happens a lot... There's way more people coming in than going out, you know? But it's not the first time, or even the tenth, by now. Sometimes they disappear for weeks, then show up again, but most of the time... They just don't come back.
[Good question. There's a slightly longer pause this time between replies as Kouha tries to think of similarities between the people disappearing, but he comes up empty.]
Never noticed much of a pattern myself. Sometimes the people who go missing are kinda withdrawn and you don't see them around too much before they go, but being in a place like this does that to everybody at some point. It's not easy to tell, and it seems like they just vanish into thin air out of nowhere, most of the time.

Yeah, I got it. Thanks for the heads-up, Ichinose.

All right, then. Do people disappear on a frequent basis?

No, everyone I know is safe, thankfully. It was something interesting I heard from around the school.
There's no real pattern to it?

Thanks. I guess I'll just keep my eyes peeled. This place really is "hell" in a sense, huh?

You can say that again! The only upside's that we're not by ourselves. Being alone in this place would be even worse.

Wouldn't I be subtler if I was a spy?

I guess I'll just have to report this to my superiors.
