7 [Accidental Video]

[exorcizans]

[Negi Springfield is in a coma for the week.

Many would think Kagurazaka Asuna would be at his bedside, at every moment, but instead, Asuna is lying on her bed, her eyes eerily blank, fingers curling into her sheets as she stares at absolutely nothing.

Tears are leaking out of her eyes as she struggles to push herself up, away, move, something,

[Raven remembers Asuna from the Family Bonding event when they used to be aunt and niece.]

Asuna...

[And there's only one person Raven can imagine that Asuna would be crying for.]

...Is it Negi? Did something happen to him?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[exorcizans]

[She doesn't move, but the voice -- her name -- causes her to tilt her head ever-so-slightly.

But it's Negi's name that causes Asuna to stiffen slightly.]

Negi -- ?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel_nevermore]

Yes, Negi. Your [She had been about to say brother.] friend, Negi.

[Her tone manages to be both worried and matter-of-fact at the same time.] He's in a coma as well, is that it?

[exorcizans]

[Something in her eyes flickers and Asuna's hands go to her forehead, gripping her hair as she tries to fight through the mess that is her head.

Certain memories were locked away, locked away to keep Asuna safe -- and now they were wreaking havoc on her head.]

Negi...

[Her fingers tighten slightly.]

[Raven winces as she watches Asuna's reaction. She's trying to remember something and it seems to hurt her. But Raven just can't bring herself to turn away. If she didn't insist, it would be like giving up on Negi. And she can't do that.]

Tell me Asuna... Please.

[exorcizans]

[A sharp inhale as it clicks.]

-- Negi is hurt.

[Firm, now. Still quiet, but Asuna has broken through.]

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel_nevermore]

Hurt? Azar...

[Okay. Now she just has to come and help you.]

Where are you, both of you?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[exorcizans]

No, he's in a coma.

[A bit forcefully as Asuna shakes her head, exhaling shakily.]

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel_nevermore]

[Raven's eyes widen.] He as well? ...I was told Zuko and Sasuke are in a coma too.

Maybe he's stuck in one of those weird dreams we seem to be having this week.

Asuna, I'd like to come and make sure there's nothing wrong with his spiritual energy. [She pauses before asking again, slowly, yet determinedly.] ...Where are you?

[exorcizans]

[She looks lost at the question for the barest moment -- where are you?

Asuna didn't even know who she was, let alone -- ]

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[exorcizans]

[And then a word pops into her head.]

Solve.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel_nevermore]

[Raven blinks.] Solve? Where's that?

You know, coordinates would be more useful.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[exorcizans]

I'm trying to remember.

[Asuna's tone is snappish. She's trying.]

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel_nevermore]

...You lost memories.

[Raven had thought Asuna was in a state of shock because of Negi's current condition. But apparently, it was not the only reason.]

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[exorcizans]

I got them back.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel_nevermore]

Do you remember me?
