☼ 018; accidental video

[dontkickit]

[ Bzzzzt. ]

[ The video turns itself on to view a girl lying on the floor. This is Atoli's communicator in her room, but this girl has brown hair and looks nothing like Atoli. She stirs and lifts herself up and, if you look closely, there's some blood dripping on her wrist. Her eyes widen widen as she looks around. ]

M-mom? Dad? They aren't here

It happened to you too?

[A young girl is staring into the video with wide eyes.]

I thought I was the only--oh! Are you hurt?

[Video]

[dontkickit]

You mean... you were brought here too? Do you know anything about this place?

[ She pauses and looks over herself. Finally she notices her wrist and hides it behind her. ] Ah, um, no. I must have cut it by accident. I'm... really clumsy.

[Video]

[mizu_isei]

N-no, I don't. I'm trying to find my older brother. If he's here, I know he'll be able to explain it.

[Staring.] Oh, you should take care of it. Do you have bandages?

[Video]

[dontkickit]

For some reason, I don't think anyone we know is here. Which... might be a good thing.

[ She looks around halfheartedly. ] I don't see any. Please don't worry, it will heal soon enough. You should watch out, though, so you don't get hurt.

[Video]

[mizu_isei]

I... you're probably right. I mean, it might be better if he's not.

I saw some in this apartment earlier. [Timidly.] If I can find you, I could...

[Video]

[dontkickit]

Right. Because... they could get hurt. [ Except she doesn't actually mean it that way. ] My parents would not be very happy here.

You... want to help me? I-I mean, um... I wouldn't want to bother you. It's just a small cut, so...

[Video]

[mizu_isei]

If he is here though, I don't want him to be frightened or hurt. My parents wouldn't like this place either...

It wouldn't bother me. [She's scared to go outside but...] Can you tell me where you are? Or you don't know?

[Video]

[dontkickit]

If he's here, he might have one of these things... So maybe he'll contact you.

No, I don't... This room seems familiar, but I can't remember anything about it. I suppose I could go outside and try to find something, but... [ She just wants to curl up somewhere. ]

[Video]

[mizu_isei]

If he can figure out how...

If you're not feeling well, ah...maybe tie something around your wrist for now? I'll try really hard to find you later.

[She kind of wants to do the same, even though she's worried about this girl.]

[Video]

[dontkickit]

It seems easy enough. This thing turned on before I even touched it... I think it made a weird buzzing noise, though.

[ She pauses and pulls her sleeve down. Just to cover it up at least. ] No... You don't need to try hard for me. It's not worth it. I'm sure there are other things to do with your time, even here.

[Video]

[mizu_isei]

Hm...you're right. And he's really smart. I'm sure he can figure out how to use it, if he's here. Unless...

[Shaking her head.]

U-um well... why don't you think it's not worth it?

[Video]

[dontkickit]

Unless...?

It's a small cut... and you don't even know me. We don't even know where we are, so... It seems pointless.

[Video]

[mizu_isei]

Unless something happened to him and he's too hurt to use it...

I guess that makes sense. I wish I could help, though. I don't know you, but we're both trapped here. Shouldn't we try to help each other?

[Video]

[dontkickit]

... You probably shouldn't think like that. [ She has no idea how to comfort her. ]

I... I guess so. If we're going to be here a while. ... My name is Chigusa Kusaka.

[Video]

[mizu_isei]

You're right...

I'm Fujiwara Sunao. Ah...are you also from Japan? How old are you?

[Video]

[dontkickit]

[ She stops for a moment. That name also sounds familiar. ] Oh, yes, from Chiba. I'm sixteen years old. It's a pleasure to meet you. Ah, and what about you?
