U-um...

[The girl peering at the camera looks like she has no idea what to say, because she doesn't.

This is so unpleasant.

Mirai frowns thoughtfully, expression twisting in such a way that it suggests she's about to say something, but what she does instead is adjust her glasses, huff, and — and then blinks at the camera, like she somehow forgot it was there.]

Oh! Yes, hello. My name is Mirai Kuriyama. I'm new here. I was wondering if anyone recognizes any of these names:

Akihito Kanbara
Mitsuki Nase
Ayaka Shindou
Ai Shindou

If you do, please let me know! They're —

It's different every month. The government holds a function for imPorts to attend-- whether they're registered or not. Many go-- it's a good networking opportunity, even if you don't intend to register. If you do, you attend and basically register your details with the government, and that's it.

Instead: A nod.]

Thank you. I'll look for it.
