Hey, is everyone okay? Yuma heard lots of people were having weird dreams about hospitals and stuff. The Animus were probably making you have those, but I'm sure they'll stop soon if they haven't yet!

[Video; Filtered to Mami and Kyoko]:

[Yuma's curled up in a corner of the main room, in a miniature nest of blankets. She looks a little worried.

And what about you, Yuma-chan?

[Mami sees no point in answering via the PCD. She'll just slip out of her room and come to rest on her knees in front of the blanket nest.]

Did you have any bad dreams?

[moralitycat]

[Yuma uncurls a bit, facing Mami instead of her PCD. She shakes her head.]

Mm-mm, no, Yuma didn't have any dreams like the ones she heard about.

[That didn't rule out no bad dreams, but she hadn't had much of those, either.]

[stepford_smiles]

I'm glad to hear that.

[She flashes a slightly unsure smile at her - Mami herself had slept most of the day away, since what she'd gotten during the week hadn't been incredibly restful itself.]

Mm. I do wish the Animus would quit trying to play pranks on us.

[moralitycat]

Yeah, their games are way too mean! Nobody is going to want to help them leave with us if they act like that.

[Yuma frowns, wishing she could scold them to their faces, but not wanting to do something that dangerous in case it made it worse for her friends.]

[Nope, nope, going to be smiling and cheerful for Yuma's sake. She's become firmer and firmer in her conviction that her friends are real anyway, because she refuses to give them up.]

Yuma-chan! Are you doing alright?

[Video]

[moralitycat]

Usagi-oneechan! Mm, Yuma's fine. She hasn't had any of those dreams.

[If she did, they'd probably break her. For all her firm convictions and ability to stand through horrors with little trauma, if she began to question reality, her fragile emotional stability would snap.]

What about you?

[Video]

[buntails]

Don't worry about that! As long as you're alright, it's fine. [This is classic brushing-off her own worries so she won't have to face them.]

[Video]

[moralitycat]

[Oh, that's healthy, Usagi.]

So something bad did happen? Is Usagi-oneechan alright!?

Hello.

I am okay? Are you okay, stanger-san?

[moralitycat]

Yuma is okay. I didn't have any of those dreams, and nothing else bad has happened yet.

What's your name? I'm Yuma Chitose.

[012420]

Yuma. I am called Sai.

It is nice to meet you. Although we have not met, this is just a letter.

Nothing bad has happened to me, but from what people have told me, I should expect it at some point.

[moralitycat]

Mm, the Animus play nasty tricks on everyone. But even if you die, it's okay! We all come back to life here.

[If this were in-person, Sai would be able to hear Yuma laughing.]

You're a funny person, Sai-san.

[fallenapple]

No. Didn't jump on the crazy train this time!

What about you, kid?

[Video]

[moralitycat]

Yuma didn't see any dreams like what she heard about. She's been fine!

Yuma is glad Kyoko didn't have them, either. They seem really bad.

[Video]

[fallenapple]

I wouldn't have liked to see you crazy anyway.

What, you think I'm that weak to believe in illusions like that? Not a chance!

[Video]

[moralitycat]

Mm, that's right! Because Kyoko is the best, and she won't be tricked like that!

[Yuma is a little DOKI DOKI over that first part. Kyoko cares~.]

[coraltaijiya]

Are you alright, Yuma-chan?

[video]

[moralitycat]

Mm, Yuma is okay. What about Sango-oneechan?

[video]

[coraltaijiya]

Mm. And your housemates?
