Sixth Dream [Video; backdated to early in the morning]
[The feed begins as garbled audio, followed by some scuffling and mumbling too quiet to really make out. Then the camera engages, and Youmu is seen propping the device up on something. She is in the courtyard of the high school, in a patch cleared of snow--and at some ridiculously uncivilized hour in the morning. The sun hadn't even risen yet.
The half-ghost walks out into the center of the space, glances back at the communicator to ensure it is still recording, and settles into a deliberate, focused stance. She remains this way for some time--and then, begins to move. Roukanken is at once bared, its steel tip flashing in what might have been an opponent's throat, had there been any. But it doesn't stop there.
This form is circular, with several turns, and Youmu flows from one movement into the next. The sword never stops moving; at times fast, at others slow--but to those observant to such things, the form almost seems unfinished, particularly towards the end.
Through all of this, Youmu is silent as a ghost.
The form does not last long, and the larger blade clicks into its scabbard at its conclusion; the only sound she's made. Youmu turns, and walks over to the communicator to turn it off.]
