[Once again, it's that time when the new arrivals start getting brought in. So it should surprise no one when they see a wet, teenage girl with green hair looking around in confusion.

And then she begins to yell.]

Shion! Rena! [Her hands are cupped around

[Rika is currently walking through the plaza when she hears a familiar voice. She immediately starts looking for the owner and she runs up to Mion when she finally sees her.]

Mii! You're here!

[demon_heir]

[Finally, a voice she recognizes. Head snapping up, Mion turns and runs over to the smaller girl.]

Rika-chan!

[She falls to her knees in front of the girl, holding Rika's shoulders and smiling in pure relief. She's completely forgotten about the bullet hole in her shirt.]

Thank god, you made it. What about the other three?

[regainedhope]

[She puts a hand on Mion's head.] ... They aren't here.

[demon_heir]

They're...

[Mion swallows, but doesn't look away from her.]

So did Takano get them?

[regainedhope]

... Yes, they did. However, they will be all right.

[demon_heir]

...You're sure? You're not saying this just to make Uncle Mion feel better, right?

[regainedhope]

Of course not. [She grins.] Nipaa~

[demon_heir]

Heh. Guess I can't argue with that.

[Standing up, Mion smiles as she looks down at Rika.]

So, did you just get here, too?

[regainedhope]

Yes. I've only been here for a couple of weeks.

[demon_heir]

A couple of weeks?

[Well this is confusing. Mion could have sworn that Rika was still alive when she got shot.]

Sooo...is this really the place where people are stuck after they die?

[regainedhope]

[She shakes her head.] I don't believe so.

[Rika narrows her eyes. So Mion died right before coming here. Many fragments were like that, but it's best to know which Hinamizawa she's from.] Mii, what happened before you arrived?

[demon_heir]

Huh?

[She looks up, scratching the back of her head.]

Well...all of us were running away from Takano and her henchmen. Kei-chan, he... Anyway, I decided to stay behind to give you four a chance to escape. Last thing I remember is that damn woman putting a bullet in me.

sorry this is so late! ;;

[regainedhope]

... I see. [She turns away and mumbles to herself.] It looks like we're from the same fragment after all.

[Rika turns back to Mion, and gives her a small smile.] I'm glad you're here now, Mion.

It's alright <3

[demon_heir]

[Mion blinks in confusion at Rika's mumbling, but smiles when she does.]

Same here, Rika-chan. Although if you're here, I guess that means I failed you.

\o/!

[regainedhope]

[Rika shakes her head.] You didn't. We just didn't have everyone we needed.

:3

[demon_heir]

I thought we had almost everyone on our side... so who was missing?
