[Voice]

[Past loud static from a battered communicator staggering footsteps can be heard. Seemingly someone's moving with a terrible effort. There's a panting of breath as waves are faintly heard breaking in the background.

It takes a long time for Umi's shocked voice to come in.]

I-I don't get it... Who was she?? That voice

Huh. Umi? Are you okay? You don't sound very well.

[soulofocean]

...Youko?

I-!

[soulofocean]

...Because I've been better... This place... I think it just topped all its tricks for me.

[reginagloriae]

What happened? I fell into the fountain.

audio;

[soulofocean]

...You too, huh. Because... you thought you heard a voice familiar to you?

audio;

[reginagloriae]

Yeah.

Ah - What happened to you?

audio;

[soulofocean]

Just that. I heard a lady's voice calling me. I thought she sounded familiar to me... So, I followed.

Next thing I know?? I'm losing my footing and tumbling down a cliff into the stupid ocean...

You didn't get a serious fracture, did you?

audio;

[soulofocean]

...I didn't die. That's already something!

As for broken things--- My right leg's sort of... not cooperating. This stupid arm, too...

[reginagloriae]

Do you need help to heal?

audio;

[soulofocean]

...Right, I forgot you too can do that.

Thanks, Youko. Fuu's coming. It'll be okay soon.

audio;

[reginagloriae]

Ah - Alright. I hope you can walk home afterwards.

[soulofocean]

Fuu's magic is amazing. I bet she'll leave me good as new.

In any case. I doubt anything's sparing me the visit to the hospital...
