[The video shows Minatsuki's room, but there's no one there and nothing's happening yet - the door opens after a moment, and Minatsuki steps inside. Her hair is chopped short; her left plait is suddenly missing. She stands there silent, expression shocked, and her shoulders start to shake.]

Puha... [Her expression crumples into a smile - a genuine smile - and she doubles over.] Ahaha... Ahahaha! What the hell was that... Ahaha...

[Her laughter isn't malicious or sarcastic; it's gentle and overwhelmingly relieved. If you look closely enough, there are tears in her eyes.]
