[ The video flickers on and Naminé's looking incredibly unsettled. She's quiet for a while until she opens the door of her room. There, standing in the hallway, are two Meowstics--one female, one male--and a lone Espurr. Kind of like this, with the Espurr right in the middle. Standing. Staring.

Quietly, Naminé turns the camera toward herself. ]

When we woke up, we found them like this. I... I'm not sure why they're doing this.

... Is this normal?

... You think so?

[ She feels a little foolish now. She should be more careful... ]

[shatterings]

I've just-- I've never-- None of my books-- um...

[ this is so awkward. ]

I'm not saying all nice people are like that. But the kinder they are, and lavishing you with praise... be a little more careful. It's mostly men you should worry about that with. Trust your judgement... and if anyone is bothering you, tell me. I'll make them back off.

[shatterings]

Well...

[ She does look more than vaguely uncomfortable. Actually, her discomfort is hard to miss. She doesn't want anyone to get hurt. But... ]

I think... there is one person.

....... I'll make sure not to recommend any books with sex scenes then. It's okay to be uncomfortable with it, too. Not everyone likes talking about it.

[She'll keep that in mind for the future!]

His name is Kevin.

... I'll try not to.

[she will cut a bitch]

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

N-No problem!

[She's hoping Ilya won't yell at her for this.]

[Video]

[shatterings]

So, um... have you caught any new Pokémon lately, Rise?

[Private Video]

[shatterings]

Please be careful.

[ don't make your cutie blonde cry 8( ]

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

Ehehehehe... n-no... I-I want to, but then I fell asleep for three days...

[Video]

[shatterings]

Oh! I did as well... I think it was those odd feathers.

[Private Video]

[bylight]

I will be. I promise.

[she would hate herself if she did make her cry 8((((]

[Private Video]

[shatterings]

Thank you, Lightning...

[Private Video]

[bylight]

You don't need to thank me. I want you to feel happy without people like him.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

Yeah... At least my other Pokémon aren't scared of it anymore!

<sub>[If he had any idea why that was so scary, he might be sorry.]

[As it is, he just tilts his head to the side inquisitively.]</sub>

Haunted?

What would it be haunted by?

[heartdive]

Yeah she does, but that's not the only thing.

[dressofheaven]

[Yeeeees she loves it when her ears are played with do that more Namine.]

Well, at the very least she won't be leaving you alone anytime soon. I suppose that counts for something.

[paopuprincess]

[Yes. Yes it will.]

I'd just keep her in her ball but I feel bad about leaving them cooped up like that.

[shatterings]

Mm... I do as well. It seems like such a small space for them...

[paopuprincess]

How do they even work? Do they make them really tiny, or something?

[shatterings]

I'm not sure... I'd hate it if they were all... squished in there.

[ The thought actually really distresses her. ]
