[The video focuses in on two ankles, shredded school socks coming into view. There's a sigh and then a hand covers the device; it's pulled up and wiped off by a dark shirt, and then Utena finally looks at it closely. Her hair's mussed and she looks a little dirty even as she keeps the serene expression on her face.]

It's the same as before. ...

Tenjou?

You're back.

[pimpslaprose]

A difference?

[princelyrose]

Make a difference in people's lives.

[pimpslaprose]

That sounds foolish.

[princelyrose]

But what if that's really it? You might be stuck here a while, then.

Ready for some unintentional sappy Saionji?

[pimpslaprose]

If that were true, why have you been brought back, Tenjou?

\o/

[princelyrose]

I don't have anywhere else to go.

[pimpslaprose]

I think even you could come up with someplace better.

[princelyrose]

There are plenty of places I'd rather be, but...

Punctuation this time

[pimpslaprose]

But what?

[princelyrose]

I think...I'm dead. [She remembers those swords and...that's it.]

[pimpslaprose]

Dead?

[Utena? Dead? But how? Sure, he'd tried to kill her himself before, but he's past that point now]

[princelyrose]

I really don't know if I am or not. [So. Much. Hesitation.] I was stabbed.

[pimpslaprose]

Stabbed?

[A pause.]

By whom?

[princelyrose]

[There's a long long LONG pause as she's probably just walking towards Gohl, but also wondering how to even go about this.

It's just her and Saionji now.]

Himemiya.
