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 —

[Another pause, this time paired with an uncertain look.]

They're my friends from home. [She very nearly stumbles on the word "friends."] I'd very much like to speak with them, if possible. And if any of you are reading this — [Here she wrinkles her nose, suddenly annoyed — ] especially you, Kanbara-senpai! — please tell me. I'm —

[Scared.

Quietly:] Thank you all for your time.

[Another new arrival; and she looks uncomfortable to say the least. Light feels inclined to at least respond, and hopefully cut down on her confusion as much as he can.

So the feed cuts on, and the face of a 19 year-old boy shows on the screen.]

I don't recognize any of those names, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't here. And if not, there's always a chance your friends may arrive at any time.

[Though whether the latter is very comforting or not is up for debate.]

[heralding]

I apologize. I've never heard of any of those names before.

[She pauses.]

And if they are not here, would you like some assistance? I know it can be disorienting to turn up here.

Can't say I do. Doesn't mean they're not here though, so don't lose hope if you don't get any positive replies. You've just got to keep looking.

... And what shall you do if it appears your friends are not here after all? As appears to be the case.

[wotters]

I haven't heard of any of those names!

[ He says, way too cheerfully... but give him time, he can still assess the situation. Besides. What a cute girl! He most definitely has to help her! ]

But that's okay, don't give up. I thought I was alone but then Nitori-senpai showed up! [ And Rei, but he doesn't know him all that well yet sadly. Still! Glad to see him too.

Now. If only his senpai remembers him... ]

I think he has some memory loss though... [ He mumbles this, looking as exaggeratedly troubled as he sounds. ] Well! I'll just have to make him remember.

[shuckit]

[ he knows missing friends - he's looking for about 17 of them, but he's already been told they haven't been brought over. doesn't mean this girl has the same kind of luck, though. ]

Can you tell us what they look like?

[ She does check over the names printed on the network, but none this girl provides are listed currently.

No need to repeat what's been said, so she focuses on the girl's earlier behaviour. ]

You alright?

[sniptuck]

I don't think they're here... But you'll probably see them again!

[standsproud]

Nope.
