While watching Message, I tweeted while the Ronin were leaving heartfelt messages on Ryo's answering machine and that's what everyone should do. The issue I had with it was that poor Ryo knew his friends needed help. Mia advised him to wait. He waited. He played through the messages on his answering machine. Each Ronin left a message for him detailing their hopes, dreams, and fears. As wonderful as that is, I doubt they're the kind of messages that always get left. I like to think they try to keep in contact, but that they don't always get to talk to each other.
