[Video]

This... This is a joke, right?

[Even if Umi can't be seen her voice sounds upset enough to imagine her expression right now. The camera pans over a thicket of trees, seemingly unable to focus.] By far the nastiest joke this place has EVER---! It was one thing to have to dig MYSELF out of a grave, but this?? Why can't they leave them alone ( Read more... )

don't mess with my friends, gravediggers, refuses to believe, well fuck you too city, flowers won't cut it, aftermath, brb growing a new phobia, louise, shin, ;o;, unbelievably bad taste, hating the deities so much, hikaru, so much for a party now, aya, ahahaha very funny

[what the... those are-? Connell found himself staring at the video wide-eyed, then slowly brought his sight down weakly]

I.. Umi... [he didn't even know what to say to this... but then, he remembered something, it's at least what he could say and believe right now: ] It's - it can't be, right?

Time moves differently in this world... and, these curses... It could just be tricking people again.

...A sick joke. That's all this is. I don't know why I'm shocked. It's JUST the thing this place would---

Wh-? Connell?

... Umi... Yes.

[he nods to her, indicating that it really was him right now. he wanted to believe it. if people keep coming back and forth... then it must be some sort of joke... like those other unhumoring curses.

they have to be alive!]

We have to believe... I know things won't just... happen just like that.

...Connell, I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to deal with this too. You only just got here after all.

You're right. It's impossible for it work like this. But... seeing these all over the graveyard, still...!

... I understand. [it never was a pleasant feeling to see people you care for... their names written on a tombstone like that... it's never a good feeling, and it never will be]

You don't have to apologize, Umi... You haven't done anything wrong. You have a right to feel this way, as well. But ... I'm sure they would want you to believe in them.

Aya and the others... [She nods, holding on to that certainty.] That's true. They'd want all of us to believe they're alright. That this place couldn't do anything to them anymore!

...Some of them went through enough here already.

[that determined and strong face... that fit Umi so much more, and it seems just like her, he can't help to smile when he watched her slowly be strong like this]

Umi...

Why don't you talk to them in your heart? They may not be here... but sometimes, even people's hearts and souls are all connected, no matter how far they are from you.

I'm sure that they will hear you.

...Connell. Thank you. [She returns his smile weakly, but as honestly as she can manage right now. Connell is such a good friend. They only just met and he still feels like comforting her like this... She's grateful beyond words.]

I think--- I think I'll do just that. They'd have wanted me to turn to them, even if they can't answer me with words. I'll just know they're fine, back home. Aya would've scolded me for being this silly, jeez...

[a small nod] I'm sure it'll be all right...

I know... You'll meet them again!

They always visit when this place gives them a chance, ALL OF THEM. Aya more than anyone.

It's just like this place, to try to ruin one of the nicest "curses" it has by pulling such a thing...

...

I don't know much of this place... but if something out there keeps causing such misfortunes, perhaps it has a purpose. But still...

What may it could be, the most important thing is believing...

I hate saying this sort of thing, because, jeez--- a part of my head just REFUSES to think anyone out there could be that twisted. But this place seems to do all these things just to make us lose hope...

You're... so brave and kind, you know?

Connell. You really don't deserve to be stuck in a place like this. Not that anyone does.

No... I understand that as well... It's always hard to imagine why people would do unspeakable things, but sometimes... there's a deeper reason for them, even they already hurt others... For their own belief and reason.

[he pauses, faint a short sigh, and a movement of his hand to his chin. but he shortly smiled again to Umi's latter statement] ... Ah, no, I... [a slight flush spreads on him, but he smiled further on to this] Thank you very much, Umi.

But it's all right... I have to keep doing my best, even if I am faced with something like an entirely new world. I know I'm not the only one who wants to do their best...
