[ It's falling apart, tearing at the seams, and - the thing that unsettles her the most is the fact that she can't do anything about it. She knows the reason why, knows that everything she can do is pretty limited, because - who ever heard of a ghost becoming tangible? It's almost funny, she thinks, how she's entirely helpless when it matters most, but... And she doesn't even know why she's like this in the first place.

Voices catch her attention, and it makes her blink. Once, twice, until she's finally turning around to see people approaching her, looking at her. Where did they come from--? She doesn't know, doesn't have the answer, doesn't have anything other than this: she feels like she can trust them.

And if she couldn't, then - she'd deal with those consequences later, because there's no time, and the clock's continuously ticking. Precious seconds keep on slipping away, so they really have no moment to waste - ]

Erielle. My name is Erielle. [ It's a good start, and she even offers them a small smile. ] I am the priestess of Nuadoria, and - [ Here, she glances around them, eyebrows furrowing, looking quite concerned. ] - there isn't much time. Keter is rapidly breaking down, and if we don't stop it -

[ And here is where she pauses. Looking quite sad, now. ]

- everyone will perish.

[ But it only stays on her face for a split-second before it's replaced by determination. ]

So come. We must hurry. I shall explain everything on the way.

[ For someone as painfully unremarkable as he thinks himself, Hanatarou seems to end up being pulled into these situations rather frequently anymore -- large scale, life or death situations, and he never has anything more than the vaguest idea of what was going on.

Because he isn't supposed to be involved in these things, he isn't a hero or anything like that, like he figures almost all the others standing around him now must be. He's just a clumsy shinigami who will always end up in the wrong place at the wrong time; and he's certain that this -- wherever it is and however they all got here -- is the wrong place, and judging by this girl's -- priestess's? -- words, it is definitely the wrong time as well.

And as always, he can do nothing more than follow and do his best, so he does. ]

What should we--

[ He hesitates, glancing at the others with him to make sure he isn't out of line in being the first to reply before continuing. ]

How-- how do we help?

[Kairi is quiet as she tries to understand what she was told. She remembers hearing that the world was ending, only she didn't know why or what she could do to help. If everyone's lives were in danger, she'd do anything to protect them. With a resolute nod, she just starts to move towards Erielle when she hears another boy speak.

She didn't even think to ask the question. How. After a moment, she turns and gives him a reassuring smile. At least they all seem like they want to help.]

I think we should follow her.

[Erielle didn't seem like a bad person, she has to know what they should do. All this time that Kairi spent not being able to change what was happening... maybe now she would get the chance.]
