17th Crystal: [Written/Locked to those he's addressing]

Cecil, Kain, Edge, Rydia, Rosa, Miss Tomoe.

The line of defense against the Malnosso's recent string of attacks has been drawn at the tunnel systems. I urge you all to gather everyone you care about, and move there immediately.

I know not if, even together, we can halt what they are doing, but at the very least... We shall face them united.

Thank you for keeping me informed Golbez-san.

I shall meet you there I guess.

I will be there, as will my allies. Make sure you leave no one behind, Miss Tomoe. There have been... six deaths already, I believe.

[silentfirefly]

Six... already six?

...It's worse than expected.

Usagi-san was wrong... [This is fairly scribbled out, but could be legiable if you squinted and stared long enough]

I will be there as soon as possible.

They are moving quickly. And... brutally.

Be safe, Miss Tomoe.

[silentfirefly]

You too Golbez-san.

[He considers mentioning that he's not a target, but decides against it.] Of course.

[The journal shuts with a soft click. Golbez will almost certainly be waiting up at the entrance to the tunnels by the time Hotaru manages to get her housemates there.]
