[ The video begins transmission to show Euphemia present in the room she seems to hide forever in she's grown to adore. It's apparent that she spends the majority of her time there thanks to all the random articles of decorations whether torn pieces of cloth or other tidbits found in the rubble of some of the buildings that now sits in her room.

[euphoricheir]

I figured as much...

I remembered you did have something you tended to carry with you often. I just ... it's just I remember that it was on you. Not me.

[geassreceived]

I left it with you, after you...

[ the video feed flickers on again and she gives a slight smile ]

[geassreceived]

[ flustered ]

[ slight blush at the words forever but still doesn't erase the morbid topic of it all ]

... it's very lovely.

[geassreceived]

[ lovely? it's hideous. it has no place with her. softly. ]

You don't have to keep it, Euphy. It's... [ below you ]

... it's broken.

[euphoricheir]

[ shakes her head at the monitor, smiling down at the pocket watch now ]

Anything from you is still a priceless treasure.

[geassreceived]

[ ... she's happy with it. if she's happy, then that's what's important. it's not for him to argue with her. ]

As you wish.

[ tries for a different subject ]

... I have someone for you to meet, if you have time.

[euphoricheir]

[ the smile fades to a look of surprise ]

Oh? Is there a visitor with you?

[geassreceived]

[ starting to smile a little ]

Not a visitor, no. May I come over?

[euphoricheir]

[ a small blush creeps across her cheeks on the video ]

Of course! You're always welcome here, Suzaku.

[ ushers Anna into a little bundle of clothing and gently covers her head; she still looks from side to side, trying to get the cloth off herself -- he keeps putting it back on with little whispered admonitions.

he lets himself into the apartment, and knocks on the door to Euphy's room. ]
