We found a girl sleeping in the lobby. Problem is it doesn't look like she's gonna wake up.

Can anybody tell me who it is? [this is where he wished there was a way to distribute a picture. argh-- ! that's it!] Wait, hold on a second.

[he closes the book for now, setting it down]

[backdated to the right time? On her way through the lobby, Karako happens to notice a sleeping girl. There's nothing too strange about that part, but the lobby doesn't seem like the best place to sleep like this, either, so she decides to make her way in that direction instead]

[the hostages have all been saved and Riful's disappeared! It wasn't exactly a *win* per se, but at least things have started to calm down...

But that still leaves everyone at her manor! Hostages need to be fed and given water, they probably need baths, fighters will need medical attention...the works! Heck, those worried at home might even want to ( Read more... )

After a while, there's the sound of the journal being opened to a new page before Karako dictates to it]

( [Kengamine Nagi's friends + Hummingbird] )

[a scratching-behind-one-ear-with-the-end-of-a-pen sound in the background for a few seconds, between some turning of pages, and a recorded "... Nearly four months, huh?"]
