9. And suddenly everyone stood still, and even I went to a halt. [Video/Action for Mahogany]

[So, Mahogany town. Hibiki's in one piece. No, more like, the raid doesn't matter right now. She's just sitting on a bench near the Pokécenter, bundled up for the cold, when she decides to text Miki to let her know everything is alright.]

Error: ID NOT FOUND.She tries again, and again, and again. She made a call. She tries to send her a video feed

Miss Miki?

[ They only spoke very briefly --- Lacus didn't know they were friends. She too understood how it felt to be suddenly away from someone important.

But Hibiki was trying hard to be strong. It was really admirable. ]

Hibiki ... I am so sorry ...

Lacus-san...[Hibiki is still going to be strong! Even if it really, really hurts not having your closest friend with you.] It's fine, Miki...Miki would rather be home performing, anyways.

[ 'Miki...Miki would rather be home performing, anyways.' Even if that was true ... it must still hurt. ]

Still ... I want you to know that you can talk to ... if you like?

I will always be happy to listen.

I'll...I'll be fine, Lacus-san! Two of my friends from home already left last week, so they're all back goin' after their dreams.

[ She wishes she could be there to give you a hug, Hibiki. ]

My friend returned home too ... she returned home before I could see her again.

She did? I'm sorry to hear that, Lacus-san. It...it really hurts. It's been happenin' a lot.

It does hurt ... but I am sure none of them would wish to see you or I sad.

But I believe you will be fine, Hibiki. And I also believe that their leaving here --- does not mean it is goodbye.

That's right! Don't let me forget, Lacus-san. Miki wouldn't want to see me moping like this...

[ Lacus smiles softly. 'That's the spirit, Hibiki.' ]

I won't. And I will be here if you ever need a reminder.

Thank you, Lacus-san. I'm really glad I got the chance to talk to ya again.

[Yes. She realizes that's kind of selfish to say.]

[lc_whitequeen]

I am very glad too.

[ Lacus didn't see it that way. She was glad to hear that they are friends. ]

I have yet to see you perform.

[can_do_idol]

I'm sure you'll see me perform soon, Lacus-san! I still keep up with my training almost everyday.

[lc_songstress]

That is wonderful. Please do keep it up!~ ♥

If you're still in Goldenrod, do you wanna come to dance with us sometime? Furromaru loves to dance!

[lc_songstress]

Yes! I would love that very much!

Maybe after I stop by Violet for a while. Ara ara ... there seems to be a lot of people I'd love to meet who are in Goldenrod right now.
