[ The device comes on as it's being set on the computer desk, next to her keyboard. ]

Ahhh, that's finally over! [ streeeeeetch! Nanako has clearly just come out of the shower, as there's a towel over her shoulders and her hair is down and somewhat damp. Also, it's a good thing the camera can only see her from the waist up, as she's secretly not

So you made it home okay.

[notaleftover]

Oh! It's recording. Hey, Syaoran~!

Yep. Did you?

[li_xiao_lang]

[Looooong hesitation. He doesn't remember telling her his name. Or giving her permission to use his first name.]

I'm Li.

Yes, I did.

[notaleftover]

[ oops. Forgot that Syao is srs bsns. Really, you'd think she'd remember these things, but no. She was probably too busy thinking Fujitaka was hot. ]

Sorry.

Well, good!

Ah... by the way, you can call me Nanako Kuroi. [ What is with this formality. Then again, everyone else she knows calls her "sensei" or "hey you," so she doesn't really have a personal habit for these things.

And she's pretending that there was an introduction back there and you missed it. Yep. ]

[li_xiao_lang]

So no one will be doing this tomorrow. Yes?

All right.

[He's going to call her "you" most likely. She's a girl.]

[notaleftover]

Correct. That's the case 90% of the time, anyway.

[li_xiao_lang]

Will it be something different tomorrow?

[notaleftover]

Probably not. Most likely, tomorrow will just be a normal day. There's this one weekend a month, though, where the curses are two days long - but you can tell when that's happening because it's like everyone has a different curse. And you missed it this month, so you don't have to worry.

[li_xiao_lang]

I see.

They're called curses, then.

[Why did no one teach him about this. Probably because he was freaking out over (1) double selves and (2) Sakura.]

[notaleftover]

Yep. [ Has decided not to remark that she doesn't know why, because he didn't ask. See, she's a quick learner. ]

Hey, you're new, right? How are you adjusting?

[li_xiao_lang]

[Well, there's no point in denying that.] All right.

...There are people I know here.

[notaleftover]

I know. That's good! ... Right?

[ who knows, some people rail on the fact that they'd rather people they like not be trapped here, and Syaoran seems like he could be that type. ]

[li_xiao_lang]

[Is it good? Well, he'd rather be here if Sakura was, so he could try to protect her from these curses. It's better than her being here alone.]

I think so.

[But really she shouldn't be here at all! So that is sort of a conflict in his mind.]
