001 ♣ [video | action]

[cloversong]

[A rather lovely woman in an even lovelier white dress appears to just be... sitting there on the ground. Her back is to the screen, head bowed and long curly black hair shifting slightly against her back. A broken object that appears to be a microphone rests beside her.]

Why...

[Her voice is quiet but audible. She lifts her hand to her chest.]

[allephoria]

Why wouldn't you be alive?

[cloversong]

Tonight was the night I was suppose to die.

[allephoria]

H-How can you know when you were supposed to die?!

[cloversong]

I foresaw it.

...

But don't worry about it. It's kind of a long and boring story.

[allephoria]

That's horrible... to foresee your future like that.

[cloversong]

It controls your whole life. Every moment is just stepping toward the inevitable end.

[allephoria]

[Sob, she's just kinda depressed now; what are you even supposed to say to something like that.]

[cloversong]

[... Whoops! Not she feels kinda guilty.]

I'm sorry, that was a terrible thing to say to someone I've just met. Please, forget about it.

My name is Oruha. You are?

[allephoria]

Oh, I'm Chihiro Shindou. It's nice to meet you, Oruha-san... and even though I don't know you, I'm glad you're alive.

[cloversong]

Thank you, Chihiro. That means a lot. I think... I'm glad too.

[allephoria]

Mm...

A-Are you okay right now, Oruha-san? Where are you? It might not be safe.

[cloversong]

I'm fine now. I was just a little disoriented but I'm fine.

Near a school, I think. There are monsters roaming around, right?

[allephoria]

Yeah, so please find somewhere safe as soon as you can! I'd try and come to find you, but I'm afraid I don't know my way around this place still. I'm sorry.

[cloversong]

Don't worry about me, I'll do that right now. If a monster comes I'll just hide.

[allephoria]

Ah, okay... please be careful then.
