[The feed begins with Miku kneeling down and reaching to grab a photograph that's fallen to the ground. The photo shows a woman, but his face is entirely blurred out. It catches Miku's interest, reminding her of the photograph of Koji Ogata back in Himuro Mansion; a man who'd been cursed by Kirie. Ropes had appeared in his photograph

Hey, you alright? Can you hear me?

[herbalmedicines]

I'm okay. ...I just got a little too wrapped up in my thoughts. That's all.

[worldsrunnerup]

[Shrugs, he doesn't exactly believe you but maybe] What'd you find?

[herbalmedicines]

[And she's grateful he's not pressing the issue.]

A photograph. The person in the photo...their face is blurred. It's very strange.

[She holds the photograph up to the communicator's camera.]

[Mello furrows his brow]

Weird effect.... That's not a digital photograph is it? Looks like it was printed in a dark room on dull photo-paper.

[herbalmedicines]

It was definitely printed in a dark room...

The person who owned this apartment room is a photographer, and I...I have a feeling that the rest of the photos he developed came out like this too.

[worldsrunnerup]

Find all the ones you can and either show me or tell me the results. If that's the case weird shit was going down in this town before everyone died. There might have been a build up to whatever finally happened. Those pictures could be clues.

[herbalmedicines]

[She nods.]

I was planning to collect them... I'm hoping if I gather enough information on this place, maybe...maybe it will tell us how to leave.

[worldsrunnerup]

Will you keep me in the loop?

[herbalmedicines]

[Another nod.]

I'll be sure to tell you if I find anything new.

[worldsrunnerup]

Thanks.

[herbalmedicines]

By the way, I'm Miku Hinasaki.

[worldsrunnerup]

Guess I should have done that, huh? I'm Mello.

[herbalmedicines]

Nice to meet you, Mello-san.

[worldsrunnerup]

Have you found this chick's dark room?

[herbalmedicines]

Not yet...
