[Sitting under some trees in the forest, Kyoko kneels with her hands clasped and her head lowered. She doesn't seem to notice things around her are different or that there is a device there recording her.]Dear God, please watch over Tsuna-kun and the others. Please let Oniichan be safe and the others healthy so we can go back to the past together.

Are you talking to people who aren't there?

[believes_lies]

People who aren't...? Oh, no, I was just praying for my friend's safety.

[no_no_badtouch]

You're in more danger then they are.

[believes_lies]

Well... they're risking their lives to save the world in a fight to the... [won't say 'death'. Won't think it. Big smile; everything will be okay] But they'll be fine and so will I.

What's your name?

[no_no_badtouch]

That's a really naive way to think. If they're fighting they could die. If you're here you will die. Everyone does.

Ritsuka. What's yours?

[believes_lies]

I... I know everyone dies eventually but it's not time yet for my friends or the world to be destroyed. And my oniichan is here so I'll be safe!

I'm Sasagawa Kyoko. It's nice to meet you, Ritsuka-chan!

[no_no_badtouch]

It doesn't matter who's here. The mansion will kill you eventually. Even your brother can't protect you from that.

I'm a boy. It's nice to meet you Kyoko-san.

[believes_lies]

The building will try to kill me? Eee~! Like a haunted house?

Ah! I'm sorry! Ritsuka is very cute! What year are you? I'm a second year at Namichuu!

[no_no_badtouch]

Sometimes. The Queen will though. She makes events. Some will kill you, some won't. You might be abandoned in time. The people you love most might leave you.

People say that a lot. I'm not cute. Back home I was twelve. I'm fourteen here.

[believes_lies]

It sounds like Ritsuka has had a hard life. I'm sorry you believe the worst. But I know my oniichan will never let me down.

Same as me! Except I'm fourteen here and back home.

[no_no_badtouch]

That's because you've only just come here.

You remind me of Yuiko. She's naive too.

[believes_lies]

If one of us has to be right, I hope it's me.

Is Yuiko a friend of yours?

He's so nice about his friends.

[no_no_badtouch]

I've been here for two years. It won't be.

Yeah. From back home. She's stupid and annoying ... but I guess she's alright.

Kyoko is used to boys his age ^_^

[believes_lies]

I'm sure she's very nice. Is she not here with you?

Heh. I find them getting along completely amusing.

[no_no_badtouch]

No. I wouldn't want her to be. She's too stupid to be worried about getting hurt here. Like you.

[believes_lies]

It's not stupid to not worry. Some things don't get better just because you worry about them. It's better to look forward towards better things. The world is full of people who worry about the future. I'm okay just thinking about my present and what I get to do day by day!
