It was hard having to let Ignacio go that day, knowing she had upset him and probably made things worse. At least she had found out what was wrong so she could start trying to fix it. It wouldn't be easy, death was not something people got over in any amount of short time.

Returning home to the dorms left her exhausted, flopping down on her bed to throw an arm over her face and not even begin to look at the homework she knew she had. And there was still patrolling to be done, cello practice... When had life become so difficult to manage? How did other senshi handle this sort of thing?

Maybe that was the issue, she didn't have any one to really talk to about this sort of thing. Not even telling Esen or Yvette would be of use, they wouldn't understand. Puffing her cheeks, Melody grumbled to herself in Vietnamese and moved to sit up. Why couldn't Emmy or Lil be senshi? Or any of her friends even.

'Life is less stressful when you can talk to others about your problems.'

With that in mind, she moved from the bed and picked up her cell phone. First things first, she should really call Ignacio's mother and tell her the news about her son. Her cheeks puffed up again and she glared at the phone as if the fault lied in the poor device. Stupid Ignacio, leaving her to clean up his messes and care for his family. Stupid Ignacio for not calling his own mother like he shoulder!

'Stupid Ignacio.'

And then she dialed the Araya household, flopping back down on the bed. She wasn't surprised to hear Mrs. Araya pick up, the woman's voice grief stricken with worry. No doubt having Melody call wasn't helping.

"Hello Mama~ I have some good news for you!" Yes, sound happy and make the woman's day better. "Yep, I found your son. He's alive and.. well, he's okay. Of course you know how brother is, always pretending he's god to make the world better for him."

She was teasing.

"He has a place to stay, his own really! He said something about working at a burger place, I think it was." A pause. "No... No I don't have the address and I don't know why he wouldn't talk to you himself. He's being him, of course." Nodding, she had to smile that the woman was crying tears of relief this time, not worry and fear. "Well, from the sounds of it he was staying with a friend? Though it sounds like the friend died and he's not handling it well."

A nod, and another, though the woman couldn't see it. Then there was a pause on the other end as his mother relayed the news to her daughter. She wouldn't be happy until her big brother was home, but she should hopefully be in better shape now. Brown blinked as the phone was passed over and it was Raina speaking now.

"No, I don't know where big brother is," she replied softly, frowning a bit. "I'm sorry sweetie, but he walked off before I could ask." A pause to let the girl babble. "Well, no I suppose I could find out some how, it can't be that hard.

"E-eh? But I don't think 'Nacio would appreciate- Well, I mean sure he deserves something for making us all worry but- Raina-..." A sigh. "If I go visit him after school I can't see you. Oh? Well... We'll see, sweetie. I make no promises, but if I do I'll let you know." Thankfully that seemed to placate the girl and she handed the phone back to her mother.

"Yes momma, I promise to take care of him for you. I always look after him, yea?" A smile, though sad. "I understand. I'll let him know when I see him next." A nod followed by an affirmative noise. "I promise. Love you too~" And with that she hung up and tossed the blasted thing to the side.

"Always such a pain in my side," was the huff as she once more pulled herself from the bed and made her way to her laptop to get her homework done. She'd start her search for his address tomorrow, once she had some sleep. And he'd regret making her have to hunt him down.
