1st Cut String | [Action/Video]
[The video starts with a little boy sitting by a tree. He turns away from the book as if he doesn't realize it's done anything interesting, withdrawing his arm gingerly wrap it around his knees. He's soaked to the bone and shivering slightly, and there are pinkish bandages wrapped around his right shoulder. Oddly enough, his visible arm and torso

He never thought this could happen. Nataku is here. That's Nataku, right? His friend, he's here and... Fine. Is he fine?]
N... Nataku? Nataku!! Nataku!!!
[Goku just calls out the other's name. Trying to get his attention, trying to see if it's really Nataku or not. He never thought that Nataku could come, why had he never thought that?]

[It's him. It's really him. And he knows his name and he's here and he's fine -or at least better than the last time he saw him-. Here... Away from Heaven, away from the people who hurt them. He just can't shake the smile from his face.]
I like it too!! Nataku, you're here. You are really here!! This is great! This place is awesome!!
I've missed you.
[He also misses Kenren and Konzen but... Nataku was his first friend of his age and he has yet to meet someone he likes as much as he liked Nataku. Besides, he lost him first.]

Nothing as important, anyway. He grins back.] It is awesome.
[His smile softens a little, but it's no less bright.] I didn't know if I'd see you again. I'm glad you're here.
[He rubs his eyes quickly with the heel of his palm.] I don't know where berries grow around here, so... we should go find them together! The forest is really different.

I thought I would never see you again! It was horrible, don't do that ever again. I want us to stay together, you have to promise! Ken-niichan, Konzen and Ten-chan already promised, so you're the only one who's left!
Though Ken-niichan and Konzen aren't here, you arrived before them so it's okay!

It really is! And not just the forest, everything here is different. No one looks as bored and dull as in Heavens, this place is great, really, and there are other kids of our age! And people who like to play too! And it snows! When I arrived there was snow all around and I learned to make a snowman and a snow angel... I can't wait for it to snow again but now flowers are coming up so it's great either way!
We have to fo search for berries and flowers! And you have to meet Kohaku-nee, she's an angel! And there's May, she looks like a kid of our age but she's a Goddess of cats and kittens! And... And Josh! He makes music and is really nice! And he hold me that there's a skeleton named Brook who makes awesome music! You have to come and see him with me! I'm sure it will be great!
[The kid is excited, okay? Words stumble in his mouth as he tries to tell Nataku of all the fun he has had here.]

Is Tenpou here with you too?
[He'd prefer to talk about other things anyway. He nods enthusiastically along with Goku's description. Homura explained some of the place, but it didn't sound half as exciting when he did.] The other kids will really play with us? What's a snow angel? I bet there are all kinds of flowers we've never seen, and berries too. I met an interesting person as soon as I got here. Do you know Homura? I want to meet the people you know. [Nataku is excited too, and not trying much harder to sort things out.] Where are you? I don't wanna talk through a book.

Yes, Ten-chan is here! Ah!! But now his name is Hakkai! I don't really get why he changed it but he will deny being Ten-chan if you call him that so ssssshh! It's a secret!
[Putting a finger over his lips and all. He laughs loudly at Nataku's questions though.]
Not just the kids! I have played with adults too!! And the other day I sent a message through the journals inviting people to play and many came to play with me! And a snow angel is made by laying on the ground, over the snow and moving your arms and legs, it's really fun! But there's not enough snow left to make one. [POUT.] Ah, I met Homura! He helped me find pebbles for my snowman with Hakkai. He said he was like me and knew about Konzen and the others, but I haven't seen him again since then ( ... )

He can hardly believe what Goku's telling him, and he can hardly understand how flailing around on the ground makes a snow angel or why you would want pebbles for a man, but it all sounds like a lot of fun. He's only seen snow briefly in the lower world, and all he had noticed about it then was that it was that falling on it was fluffy and cold. Now he wants to try this stuff and there isn't any. RETURN POUT. At least until he hears about the games.]
I'm in Homura's... apartment I guess. There are lots of them so maybe I should come outside. [Nataku lowers his voice just a bit.] He doesn't have any fun stuff to do. It's kinda lame.

Hakkai didn't have many toys either, just books and a few color pens. I had to go to the stores and bring all the fun stuff myself. I'll show you where the store is so you can get toys too. It's all free here so we don't have to worry about taking it!
