[ Here is a cranky and annoyed looking Akira. He's fashioned an apron over his yukata, and there's a little ink on his cheek. In the background is his modest house in Hisato, and paper laid out where he's been painting. ]

...Everyone's acting weird again. I'm taking a sabbatical to work on my art until this blows over.

[ The tension, the dreams - this whole world all of it - was starting to affect Lelouch badly. His circadian rhythms were starting to go completely out of whack (how many days has it been, five or fifteen?) - he'd slept early in the afternoon on the fourth day, then been awoken by his dream, then stayed up half the night staring into the sky and wondering about Nunnally, falling asleep and being half-awoken by another dream in the early morning, then rolling over on the hard cot and worrying until dawn, when he'd finally drifted into a kind of sleep for another few hours.

Late-morning sun is streaming in as Lelouch wakes up (for real, this time), the fifth (or twelfth, or fifteenth) day of captivity, and he's already sick of this

It might be for the best ... please be well, Akira-kun.

[He's noticed the strangeness but hasn't applied that same phenomenon to himself. His feelings are genuine, it's everyone else who's dissolved into manic desires and lusts and affection.

All this time he's felt so hollow and alone, and then he'd met someone who filled in the emptiness inside with warmth and hope. The timing was just coincidental.

Just ... coincidental.]

Ah... thank you, Izuna-san!

Ink? Are you an avid painter, Okuzaki-san?

[Audio]

[smiling_umino]

That ... is probably an excellent idea, Akira.

[Sighs, and yes, wish he could have thought of that first when he woke up this morning.]

Again?

[ Despite what masculine noise may be heard in the background, Akira has Valeria's undivided attention. She wants answers and if Akira's words are any indication, he may very well be qualified to provide her with them. ]

Would you mind elaborating, Aki -- Mr. Okuzaki? Please.

[ And while he's at it, maybe it would be a good idea to actually go through and read the networks' content... or maybe not. She's got all the 'weird' she needs in fairly close proximity. Watching the network, though -- that couldn't hurt. It isn't like she has anything better to do besides attempt to sneak away to use the bathroom without Kadaj and Roy accompanying her.

At least Balthier's sane. ]
