[Naoto looks a bit tired, and it's clear from her voice that the question's been on her mind for a while. Now that Mihai's doing better, she's decided it's time to ask it. Behind her, her sparsely decorated room is clearly visible]I've heard that some of us are from different times. I think

[Badou's not at home right now, but clear sky and the edge of a rooftop are visible behind him. As far as he's concerned, the only ones who need to start getting along are Naoto and Haine, but he'll play along. It's not like he doesn't want to talk to her anyway.]

Could be. The old man and I were out for a while. Not sure how long exactly but it can't have been all that much, considering the broadcast.

[He exhales smoke.]

What's this about? Something happen between you and Haine?

[Broadcast? Naoto doesn't remember anything of the sort, but it's possible that both Badou and Mihai are from a different location. Either way, past or future, it won't help her.]

What broadcast?

[She frowns as she considers the second question, then quickly checks the filter. True, Badou's an information broker, but Naoto doesn't like being read. Her expression isn't quite a scowl, but it's close enough to imply one.]

Just a conversation.

The Administration Director finally showed his face. He was going on about the attacks on the underground.

[Badou glances away, then back at the camera again. There's no real reason for it, but he's uneasy about discussing this too much over the journals. He shakes his head once.] Apparently it's sealed off from the surface now.

[It was an educated guess, since he and Haine are the only ones who really get on Naoto's nerves as far as he can tell. And she's never shown any interest in working with him. That scowl is enough to tell him he's found a little more meat than he really expected, and the information broker in him isn't one to let it drop.]

Must have been an interesting one. Gonna share with the class?

[Despite the fact that he goes around sticking his nose in the private business of angry men with large guns, Badou isn't a terribly paranoid person. Thus, if whatever he was talking about made him glance away as if afraid of being seen or overheard, Naoto figures that she really, really doesn't want to know. She nods noncommittally, letting Badou to decide whether she has any clue what he's talking about.]

[Naoto's mostly recovered from her annoyed defensiveness, but as someone who isn't an information broker, she's just as eager to let the conversation drop.]

I thought the class didn't want to artificially shorten its lifespan.

I think Badou's giving you the details about he and I now.

[Mihai pauses for a moment, looking off into the distance.]

It was all pretty stupid when I look back on it.
