79 Maka Albarn [Video]

[togana_keiri]

If there's anyone new here from my world, we should probably meet up. Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. I can give you more information about the situation if you need it. [She shifts a little awkwardly before continuing.]

Uh, other...me. Are you still doing alright?

OI! Maka! What're you goin on about? [He gets distracted for a moment and looks around. No, he has not noticed the collar, it's under his scarf.] This place looks familiar.

Hey, is Tsubaki with you? [>:\ Just, all of the disgruntled confusion. He'll figure it out sooner or later.]

[When she made this video, she knew this was a possibility. In fact that was the whole point of the video, but his voice somehow still manages to feel like someone punching her in the gut. Two years.

It has been two years since she's seen him.

It takes her a minute to respond.]

No..she's...uh she's here somewhere...I haven't seen her today...um...you're...[What are words?]

I mean. Hi.

Familiar?

[Video]

[black_pulsar]

Eh? What's wrong with you? [He leans into the camera, examining her face and then leans back and decides to just answer her question.]

Mah, yeah. It wasn't some weird western town before, but I know it. This thing- [He shakes the NV and the video goes weird.] gave it away. [He grins and snorts at his brilliant deduction.]

What's it called again...? [He goes thoughtful as the memories start slowly coming back.]

[Video]

[togana_keiri]

So you remember being here before. That's easier then. [She's still in shock, but explaining things gives her something to focus on.]

You were terminated. A long time ago.

[She is VERY CLOSE TO THE CAMERA] Ooooh! Maka, you're here too!

Ehehehe~! Hey, did you also get a necklace? [SHE CAN SEE IT!]

[Video]

[togana_keiri]

Patti?

...you don't remember being here, do you?

[Video]

[bubblegunsmoke]

Nooope~! ❤ [Owait, what was that?]

Huh? I've been here before? [She looks around curiously.]

[Video]

[togana_keiri]

No, you haven't, I was wrong.

Are you alone right now, Patti?

[shardsofmemory]

Hey, uh. Maka?

[She flicks video off, and is silent for a moment.]

Hi. [Oh, there's the shame and guilt slamming into her.]

[shardsofmemory]

Are you okay? [That's the most important question here, damn it]

audio // private

[togana_keiri]

...I think I'm getting there.

I'm sorry for letting you down.

[memorizethefire]

There's another you?

[togana_keiri]

Yes, she's from another world or something.

...are you mad at me? [because she's assuming everyone is.]

[memorizethefire]

Huh. Guess it's possible.

Um... why would I be mad at you?

[togana_keiri]

[oh.]...when did you wake up, Axel? [She'd thought it was while she was out of it but maybe not...]

I did some really stupid things.

[inspector_link]

You're alright now?

[togana_keiri]

[She doesn't remember everything of what happened, but she remembers feelings and sensations, so even if she doesn't completely know what their exchange was, her stomach twists into a knot at his voice.]

I'm sane now. I'm...[How could sorry even cut it?]

I'll listen to everything you have to say to me. I'm sorry for sinking so low.

[inspector_link]

Why did you give in?

[togana_keiri]

I didn't intend to. I was trying to bring Justin back. It had a hold of him, so I had to resonate with him and then...then when we were resonating it tried to pull me in and I...I fought it, like always. I ignored it.

But then...I don't know. I saw Soul's face, and Papa's...and everyone else's...I saw them all and I didn't want to fight it anymore.

I know that's not a reason. I spent my whole life fighting madness, and then I just gave in like that. It's not an excuse. I'm sorry for failing you. [Because she did. She failed all of her friends.]

Soul would be so ashamed of me. and he should be.]
