[A blur, and the video now focuses on Umi's face. Her expression shows curiosity but also slight satisfaction.] ...This is going to be a weird question for everyone. But the Network is the place to find them, right? Those of you who've gone home and returned here: how was it like, when you found the portal that took you home? Do you remember it? Did you go in by your own will? Or just felt a pull and got dragged into it...?
This is very important. It may well help us all.

You guys are a bunch of sweethearts. Did you hear the squeeing coming from next door? That was us, flailing about the carnations. The extras are just for completing the bouquet? I don't know what the smaller flowers mean.
I can't wait for the opening. Just so you know, I'm racing everyone to be your first customer. And your cake? I'm adding an extra level to it.

I hope yesterday's... whatever it was, didn't cause much trouble. First the forgiveness thing and now this? If I didn't know the place by now I'd say it's trying to help everyone make amends while it trashes our good relationships.
[ooc: ROOMMATES, our neighbors
left color-coded carnations for each of the girls on our door. Yes, they're THAT darling. Also, I wanted to get this up before Hikaru's return. Please bear with me and my evil plot.]
