[He didn't exactly leave to his own accord. A dog took his bracelet off and he lost it. Unlucky as usual. During his time time away he went back home and somehow carried the Apocalypse Virus symptoms too. Woops. That kind of punishment is fitting for the amount of sins he's committed during Loop 7. At least Souta's cured. As for Shu's void it returned back to him and there's nothing there except for the stub that used to be his arm.
He's going to have to explain this too, isn't he? Shu's not willing to give out all of the details yet. They may be too graphic and they still make him upset to some extent. ]
It couldn't be helped. I went home for a few months.
[He knew that Gai had Inori trapped somewhere in Odaiba and he set out to to save her. Gai doesn't need to know that either, but at least he can stop worrying about that for now. Shu was speaking to the Gai that he's always been used to and the one that he stabbed at Roppongi. It matched up with what Inori said to him earlier and Gai's story of him dying. Forget the white haired Gai for now.]
