[The video's image is not a person, but a quickly jerking view of snow-dusted trees and sky. As intuitive as the interface may be, the user doesn't seem to be wasting any time trying to figure it out--the word 'public' seems to be enough to go on. It's near her, it wasn't near her before the explosion, and it'll have to to suffice for now]Anyone

[For a moment the screen is blank. Only frustrated grunts that are usually attributed to urgency are heard with no visible source appearing. Clearly whoever is trying to get a hold her is concerned and is quite aggressively trying to figure out a way to speak to her.]

Shit.

[The video finally whirls to life with a blur white moving across it. Then the movement stops with Heine coming into view staring at the device with narrowed red eyes and a deepened grimace upon his face. It takes him a second to realize that the device is working and there he begins speaking hurriedly manner.]

Where are-

[Heine stops. He already knows where she is, the same place he awoke at. Quickly he drops the subject and begins moving while trying to keep his eyes to the screen.]

What was happening before you came here?

[He manages to sputter out as he breaks into a sprint toward the arch. It was more than apparent that Naoto was not from the same point he was and worse still she looked slightly injured and worried. Something had happened, something bad

Heine-

[Naoto isn't quite collected enough to process the subtle differences, the fact that his skin is clean and there's no longer any blood on his face or in his hair. She's just relieved to hear a familiar voice, and that relief is audible. If only she knew about the others...]

That man. Giovanni. He said all of them were going to explode.

[Now that Naoto understands that the thing is some kind of video broadcast device, she watches for a few seconds until the rough movements make her dizzy. The last thing she remembers is hitting the ground, and it was not a soft collision.]

We have to get back.

[The information took a few turns though Heine’s mind to fully grasp. Giovanni, the assault, and the following explosions; was it happening again? Had the deep underground decided to attack once more? But the words she choose set something off- were going to explode.]

Listen to me carefully.

[There was not an easy way to ask, but it had to be and he needed her to focus.]

Has this happened before?

[His sprint continued as he closed in on the path covered with snow. If he was wrong about this already happening- no, he did not need to think of that way. It had to be what had happened. He hoped it was what had happened.]

[It wasn't often that Heine asked her to listen, so Naoto tried to focus on the question. Luckily, it was an easy question Strangely easy, considering the importance he seemed to place on it.]

No. We didn't know they were wired to explode until a minute ago.

[Naoto frowned, bit her lip. Yeah, Heine was invincible and all, but they'd just been thrown back a far distance onto pavement. It might make sense for him to be disoriented.]

...Are you okay?
