[ Now this is a rare occurrence. Keito listens to message twice before he calls back, and when he does he can't help but sound more curious than wary. ]
[You're technically his manager, Keito, get used to his voice.
But he's relieved to get a call back.]
Oh, you did answer after all! How rare! At any rate, this is about fine. I think Eichi needs to slow down a bit. [He rushes to clarify.] Not that I wish him any less success, but I think if he lands himself in a medical crisis again, it'll be damaging to his career, and our overall impact. He's been... you've noticed, haven't you? Spreading himself very thin since the first time Himegimi left.
[ Speaking of rare, Wataru's comment gets a brief, startled silence from Keito. Did he pass out? Is the world coming to an end?
No, he realizes. Once he thinks about it, it actually makes sense. For all his reckless flightiness, Wataru does actually care about Eichi. It's just that this sort of care is a rare display. ]
I'm sure he's wondering what's going to be left to remember him by when he disappears.
[ He doesn't sound surprised, though; Wataru's right that he noticed. ]
He won't stop just because someone asks, even if it's you. But...
[ There's the sound of shuffling paper for a moment before he continues. ]
He won't give up on any Christmas activities no matter what we say, but if fine focuses on things like talk shows, modeling, and voice-over work, that'll give him a chance to recover between shows and rehearsals.
If you ask him to set aside personal time for the two of you, he'll listen to that as well.

[His chipper tone falters eeeeeever so slightly.]
I'd like to request your assistance with something, and I think you'll be interested in what I have to say.
