It seems to be an album file titled “Missing Element: Chrysanthemum” with various photos of Izanagi and another idol from LiliS.

[ . . . . . . . Long-suffering sigh. At least internally. This unpleasant fellow. He is the key?? He just keeps interfering with his life, doesn't he! That guy...!! Ugh.
At least this time he's useful. A reminder- that this isn't about him or his queen, Yvette. But of Izanagi himself. ]
I could never look at it that way.
[ Which is sincere. Tsukasa is nothing if not earnest. ]
Besides which, if you remain here... how will you ever see-
[ . . . . . . . . . . ugh. ]
How will you see Chrys-san again?
[ Lifting his phone up he holds it up for Izzy to see the pictures of the two. ]
Maybe it is painful sometimes. And occasionally, people come and go out of our lives. But your friends are waiting for you at home... aren't they? And I would feel cheated by this point if I lost out on the opportunity of making at least a few more memories before you reunite with the people dearest to you.
I know that I am always happiest with the people I care about. I look forward to when I get to see them again. And he's waiting for you. You have a light at the end of the tunnel. So don't wander off into the darkness all on your own now.
[ He moves forward- it does interrupt his scrolling, but-- it's to wrap his arms around him in an embrace, holding him fast in a hug. ]
You have a future. I know it is hard. I know... I know you've been through so much. But right now we are here. You are loved. And there are so many people who care about you. Come back with us.
[Oh. With the way Tsukasa hugs him out of the blue, he doesn't have time to move his arms - they're pinned between the two, and he can't do much but sink into the embrace.]

Re: Beach
I don't see why I should have to.
[Suddenly, your character’s phone begins to beep.]
Re: Beach
[ But the sudden beep on his phone does draw his attention, which causes him to release at least one of his hands to reach down and grab it. ]

Re: Beach
...Now that's just a low blow.

Re: Beach
...Guess I can't pull the same trick twice, huh?
Re: Beach
You have a future. I know it is hard. I know... I know you've been through so much. But right now we are here. You are loved. And there are so many people who care about you. Come back with us.
[ His grip tightens but it's gentle. ]
Let's go back.
Re: Beach
...There isn't any other option, is there?
Not really.
Re: Beach
[ The embrace gently tightens. ]
But we'll be waiting for you when you wake up.
