Kaoru 3 [audio]

[the post comes in the dead of night. There's a long pause before Kaoru speaks, and when he does it sounds like he's making a great effort to keep his voice steady. Even then, he sounds scared]

How... do you keep from seeing things?

...I wish I knew the answer to that, but I'm seeing things too.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

Yeah, seeing and hearing. It's both reassuring and terrifying to know it's not just me.

... Either way, use something other than your fist if you decide to break the mirrors.

[A ragged, low voice comes over the audio, breathing harshly.]

Break ze mirrors. All of zem.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

...for the sake of my own mental health, I think I might have to. I'm seeing thing that... that I don't want to see.

[ergaleomancer]

You too? It's safe to say this is our captors having 'fun' again...

[uchimata_ja_nai]

Whatever this is, 'fun' is the last word I'd use to describe it. Even if it was ironically.

[ergaleomancer]

The problem is that the people that kidnapped us do think this is fun.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

...if they didn't, we wouldn't still be here, huh?

[nekomata2]

I don't know. [The voice sounds slightly panicked.] There's no way to stop them. You can cover the mirrors, but you can hear them, from under.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

Hearing it's worse, knowing there's nothing I can do.
