[The video comes on to show Aya and Umi sitting back to back. Wrapped around them are wires meant to look like rose vines with long thorns. Along the vines are red and white roses. Both are already bleeding. Aya is the first to stir and look around. His eyes narrow as he glances back to see Umi.] Umi. You need to wake up.
Wha...? Ouch. Eh

I haven't figured that out yet... But we're in an alley...

We both need a hospital though.

Injured parties might need to be carried so he should be ready to summon if there is a dire need - check. Presea should also come along and bring a sword, just in case.
Right. Good thing he keeps a reasonably well-stocked first-aid kit in a messenger bag for just these sorts of situations. ]

[ The question is asked flatly, more of a statement than a question.
Not that Clef expects any useful answer. That would make things easy. ]

Shaking her head, Umi tried to hold back the rage and anguish that the sole idea of what the City had done... what the curse itself had just suggested she should do... No, it was far too much! She gritted her teeth as both the loss of blood and anger made her feel dizzy. She'd NEVER let it end in that way! What she'd promised Ken burned inside her mind. She wouldn't let herself get killed here, and least of all lose Aya to this...!
Still turned to face him, she did her best to gather her determination and hold his stare without seeming faint.]
So much for magic, then... [She bit her lip at the thought.] Dammit! This place... It really thought of EVERYTHING...

[Umi was losing more blood than he was due to her smaller size. He had to get them out before she lost too much. Forcing himself to clear his head, he looked at the trap carefully.]
Do you have a lock on your side?

[Then her eyes widened.] Yeah! ...Here, among the petals of this one!
[Impulsively she turned to Aya again, and immediately regretted it as the thorns were driven deeper into her side.] ...Damn! ...D-do you have one too?

Try not to move so much, Umi. Just stay calm. [Then he nodded.] Yes. I have a lock too.

Moving down the alley, he headed for the direction that he hoped would lead straight to the hospital.]

Holy crap, you two. You don't do anything halfway, do you?

It would be too easy if we went halfway.

He sounds calm as he speaks but he is actually very worried about this.]
You were able to escape that situation, weren’t you?
[Hopes for a satisfactory answer. ]

Weak as she is, and agonizing over news about her brother, she still manages to reach for the communicator and reply. They've told her he's out of danger. But that's hardly enough. Maybe whoever it is can expand on that information. Maybe it's even Ken!]

[A weak voice, but… responding that was good. ]
If you can respond then you must have made it out of that situation?
