[There have been, perhaps, three prior times in Yagyuu's existence when he has looked as generally silently despondent as he does right now. None of them are fond memories; none of them are days he's proud of. None of them are days he likes to dwell on remembering.
This is day number four, and Kirihara-kun is gone.
The fact that he's come out to the barn in the first place is telling in itself that he's already mostly dealt with his reaction to that. Yagyuu is always one to put emphasis on maintaining a good public face; the flip side of that, naturally, is that he doesn't subject himself to public scrutiny when he knows he can't keep it together. Which is why the past few hours were spent alone, far away, in the stillness of the woods outside Goldenrod, and also why a few of the trees out there are currently missing areas of bark in vaguely fist-sized chunks.
But now he's here, tailed by a smiling, oblivious Quagsire with a bad habit of walking into the back of his legs when he pauses, ready to face the uncomfortable discussion that yet another teammate has gone missing.]

Is he giving you much trouble, Marui-kun?
