[thirty-three] one leaves, another arrives...

[rewinding_time]

I-I... I just realized I've been here for over one year now...

[filter: exorcists]

Crowley is here... and I think the Noah are up to something--

H-how many of us are still here? Allen seems to have disappeared... a-again.

An entire year?

I know people can stay here for a long time, but I suppose coming across it was rather surprising.

I hope you have been happy here.

[rewinding_time]

Y-yes, an entire year!

I don't think I'm the only one who's been here for that long, though...

M-more or less.

[crymoarhewley]

I don't doubt it. I'm sure friends of mine have been here a long time as well - it was just a bit of a shock seeing it as I scrolled by.

Congratulations, then.

[rewinding_time]

O-oh, I see... It was quite a shock to me, as well, as soon as I realized it had really been... t-that long.

Ah... thank you?

[crymoarhewley]

You're welcome, though I'm not making you uncomfortable by just barging in, am I miss?

[rewinding_time]

Oh, no, no! N-not at all.

[crymoarhewley]

I am glad. I just thought from your shaking that I was making you uncomfortable.

[rewinding_time]

Ah, no... I'm always like this.

[crymoarhewley]

... Miss, I know this might be considered strange, coming from someone you have just met, but remember that only you can allow others to make you nervous. You needn't have to be like that.

[rewinding_time]

I-I know. But I just can't help it...

[crymoarhewley]

I suppose I don't know your circumstances.

I didn't give my name, did I?

[rewinding_time]

N-neither did I... I'm sorry. My name is Miranda Lotto...

(apologies for lateness)

[crymoarhewley]

Don't apologise. It's good to meet you, Miranda. My name is Angeal Hewley.

(it's fine!)

[rewinding_time]

N-nice to meet you, Mr. Hewley.

[crymoarhewley]

Angeal's fine. Do you prefer Ms. Lotto? I suppose that was rude of me.

[rewinding_time]

Oh, no, Miranda is just good... Angeal.
