Week 20, Day 7 [ Video ]

[gofindmylegs]

[The video comes on to an up-close view of a deep brown eye staring up at the Hitomi. It tilts to the side a bit, and then the camera pans out enough to make out the rest of the man’s face, including the vertical scar that runs the length of his other eye and the horizontal one over the bridge of his nose, and the slight scruffly stubble at his chin-apparently the man has decided to inspect the device from arm’s length, now.]

Hrm…

[Manji goes out of focus as the Hitomi is turned upside down and then around, reading the kanji inscription on the back.]

Hitomi, ah? Just what the hell does that even mean… [There’s a scowl offscreen, and the feed jostles for a bit longer before Manji decides he has no use for the thing. But he holds onto the thing because maybe Rin might or he could sell it--

-- …come to think of it, where is Rin? The video only shows the grass, but his voice can still be heard.]

Rin? [One, two three…] Oi, Rin!

…where is she. Don’t remember her goin’ off anywhere…

[…hrm. And where is he, for that matter? He’s fairly certain he went to sleep in an inn, not the middle of a forest.]

Eh…think I ain’t in Edo anymore… [Siiiigh. Welp, here’s trying again:] Riiiiin?

…Well, shit.

[There’s shuffling and the sounds of footsteps for a few more minutes before the feed times out.]
