[The feed opens onto a view of... shiny black Mary Janes. Yes, whomever is holding the Guide is holding it backwards. The shoes scuff together a little before straightening. And then a young woman starts speaking, who has obviously been crying.]
I don't know if [SNIFFLE] anyone is out there... They said--they said Earth is gone. [BIG, MISERABLE, WET SNIFFLE] That can't be true. It just can't. But if I'm here... then maybe someone else is. The--the alien said that I could contact people through this computer. So if you're out there... please respond.
[There's a quiet pause and then she takes a deep breathe and starts listing names.]
Yuki? Rin? Suguro? Kamiki? Miss Kirigakure? Shima? Miwa? Paku? M-Mother?
[She gives a soft wail and the feed shifts to a view of the crowded Arrivals before the camera is covered by the girl hugging her Guide to her chest.]
