Happy New Year's, everyone!

[The girl is cheerful despite all that's happened, trying to brighten the network up today. She's wearing a light blue kimono, one she's made for herself. Her hair is down, too, for once. She waves a little at the camera.]I don't think I heard anyone getting too

And what about all the bad guys here? Like the one who was on the network lighting things on fire a few nights ago! All the horrible people from my world! Do we just need to be more careful of them, too?!

You're not a very optimistic person, are you?

[asano_san]

There aren't a lot of things to be optimistic about here!

[She can understand that. She nods.]

Mm. You shouldn't get used to it.

By having hope, of course. Things can always change for the better if you hope for the best and try to fix things.
