[ after her talk with Keiichi, Rika got quite inspired.  She even put what wine she has left away, sticking it much further under the bed, and hasn't been sulking on the window sill lately either. Her other regains are neatly placed in a shoebox and put under her bed with the wine, though she's beginning to notice the price of her latest syringe. ]

Ri...Rika...?

Auu...I...I'm fine, nano desu.

[badend_replay]

Hanyuu, I...

I picked up another dose at the Post Office... in case Shion or Keiichi should regain their syndrome symptoms...

[badend_syndrome]

But...but they...

How could you, nano desu!? Couldn't you have waited nano desu?

....

They didn't do anything to you, did they, nano desu?

[badend_replay]

At the time, I did not realize people were being injured. I wanted to figure out what was going on myself.

... No, I don't think so... I'm not hurt anywhere, at least.

[return_my_rice]

You haven't been to the post office to pick anything up, have you?

[badend_replay]

[ she'd rather not concern Gohan with her regain... She's sorry to tell a lie. ]

... No, I did not.

However, I saw that it was quite a mess. I hope everyone is well, I do. Does Gohan know what is happening?

[return_my_rice]

I think it's that "processing fee" they mentioned. People are getting stuff back, but they're losing body parts, too.

[badend_replay]

A processing fee...?

That is not good! People must stop going to get things back then!

[k1_sauce]

R-Rika...

You...You didn't go there, did you? The post office--tell me you didn't go.

[badend_replay]

I am not hurt. I am okay. Do not worry, Keiichi.

[k1_sauce]

Hnnng. [He doesn't believe that for a second. Something is up.]

Stay away from there from now on, okay? If I hear about you going over there again, I'm going to have a heart attack.

[badend_replay]

Keiichi...

I am sorry to have worried you. You do not need to worry. There is nothing from home I would want to bring here. I would rather not regain anything if I were to have the choice, for sure.

[wise_king]

Was it scary?

[badend_replay]

Yes, the Post Office is very scary now. It was dirty with blood and unhappiness, I think.

But it only made me go "shake shake". I will not cry.

[wise_king]

You can dispense with the onomatopoeias.

[badend_replay]

... myao~.

Did you go to the Post Office as well?

[supersizedpower]

Rika?

Are you okay?

[badend_replay]

...

I am just fine! I am sorry, did I worry you, Al-papa?

[supersizedpower]

Well...you just seemed upset.

Something happen?

[badend_replay]

Mya~o. It is not anything at all. I am being a bit silly and forgetful, that is all.
