My inmate seems to be missing.

[This is surprisingly light and curt. He's doing that thing that he does when he's unsure of where people have gone, or he feels left behind.]

He's still on my item, so I'm sure he'll be returning.

[He hopes he'll be returning.]

...I never really thought about how sometimes I find myself measuring my age in people before. Or if I have, it's just recurring to me.
