[Accidental Video]
---the hell IS this-!? IT'S EVERYWHERE!!
[From the communicator's vantage point we see the askew image of a sunny kitchen entangled in a web of what seems to be hair. The locks move around like tendrils to spread the tangle around the furniture, the fridge... only the table is free from its grasp. For now.]
Gaaah! It keeps growing back!!
[A flash of blue, a glint of steel, and Umi enters the scene, slashing a matrix of hair in a motion too fast for the eye to catch. She's slightly injured: thin cuts are visible on her face and arms, some of them bloody. At once the strands she just cut grow back and reach for her.]
How? NO WAY!! Stay away from...! [But speed fails Umi this time. The locks of hair enfold her into a cocoon. Her sword cuts several strands but the hair keeps wrapping itself around her, imprisoning her. She struggles fiercely.] GET--- OFF--- ME!!
Wh... C-cold... What's... [A small part of the hair wrapped around Umi changes color from dark to crimson. Umi seems suddenly weakened, but doesn't give up: more strands are severed by her blade.] So... tired... Why!?
[Just as it seems the creature will gain the upper hand the image goes blurry as the Network device is flipped by a random lock. It clears to show us some tendrils of hair encircling a plate on the table. At once all hair starts withdrawing from the kitchen, letting Umi fall on her face.] I SAID DON'T-!! Kyaaaaah-!
...The cake! [We can see Umi lying on the floor as she gazes up at the now empty plate with stupor. It turns to anger as she gets up, sword at the ready.] It... just wanted the cake!! The freaky thing just wanted-! I JUST BAKED THAT!! IT WAS DESSERT! COME BACK AND FIGHT, YOU WEIRDO BUNCH OF H---!!
