[ Look, it's Fuuka! She's sitting at a chair and holding a squirming kitten in her lap, who she lets go after a moment's struggle, smiling sheepishly at the camera. ] Thank you, so much, to everyone who helped look for Zio-chan. Um, as you saw, he's fine, and back home. I'll be more careful from now on

...Fine.

[Said in pretty much the most unenthusiastic voice ever.]

[fail!locked]

[oneenemyleft]

[ At least she expected it this time. ]

... I'm glad.

[fate_foretold]

[Long, awkward pause.]

Actually, there's something I wanna ask you about. You have your persona back, right?

[fail!locked]

[oneenemyleft]

... Y- yes, that's right.

[fail!locked]

[fate_foretold]

Couldn't you...

[Ugh. He does not want this to sound like he's asking for her help.]

Have you ever tried using it to track down the scientists?

[fail!locked]

[oneenemyleft]

... [ Long silence. The answer is no, but... ]

It wouldn't work. I need to know who I'm looking for, before Juno can locate them.

[fate_foretold]

I'm sure someone's seen them. Or talked to them, at least. Couldn't you ask them for details?

[Not that he really has any idea how Juno works.]

[fail!locked]

[oneenemyleft]

That's not usually enough...

[ Sort of a pause. ] I'd be able to find you, because I know you and... what you're like. If I'm trying to find someone I don't know, it's much harder, and I need a pretty detailed idea of what they're 'like.' I doubt even people who've spoken to the scientists could say that much...

And if they could... what would you want that information for?

[fail!locked]

[fate_foretold]

What if you talked to them yourself?

[A little surprised at that last part; why wouldn't you want that information?]

Isn't it obvious? I wanna know where their base is.

[fail!locked]

[oneenemyleft]

That might work, but why would they speak to me?

[ She understands the gist of why, it's just... too confrontational for her. ]

Don't you think... there's probably a reason no one has, yet?

[fail!locked]

[fate_foretold]

I'm sure you could figure something out.

[He scoffs.]

Yeah. It's because everyone is too busy worrying about stupid stuff, instead of focusing on what they really need to do.

[fail!locked]

[oneenemyleft]

...

You mean, surviving?

[fail!locked]

[fate_foretold]

No.

[Why does everyone say that when he brings this up?]

I mean stuff like birthdays.

[fail!locked]

[oneenemyleft]

...

[fail!locked]

[fate_foretold]

Is it really more important than getting out of here?

[fail!locked]

[oneenemyleft]

I don't think it's possible... to get out of here willingly.
