[Minako puts on the video feed and steps back, smiling.]

Happy New Year's, everyone!

[The girl is cheerful despite all that's happened, trying to brighten the network up today. She's wearing a light blue kimono, one she's made for herself. Her hair is down, too, for once. She waves a little at the camera.]I don't think I heard anyone getting too

That sounds good. Are the monsters going to make that resolution, too?

We just need to be more careful of them.

And what about all the bad guys here? Like the one who was on the network lighting things on fire a few nights ago! All the horrible people from my world! Do we just need to be more careful of them, too?!

You're not a very optimistic person, are you?

[Ok. He's curious ... only because he doesn't really see or believe in wishes coming true. He always seems to pop up at the right time to rain on everyone's parade.]

What did you wish for?

[foretells]

For everyone to be safe and for the Fall not to happen.

[cero_oscuras]

I am not familiar with the Fall. This is an event that occurred on your world?

We stopped it from happening. [She looks at him, brushing a piece of her bangs out of her eyes.] Have you ever heard of Nyx?

Hi. We've never met before... but I just had to tell you that I love that dress you're wearing. Or should I call it a Robe? It is gorgeous!

[foretells]

Oh, thank you! I appreciate it; I made it myself.

[starlithysteria]

You made that? Really? ... Wow! How long did it take you to do it?

[foretells]

Months, but I couldn't really devote any time to it. I started in October.

[It's not until around this time that Heat makes it back to the apartments. He's dirty, wounded, and bloodied. The demon hadn't even made it to the Lux before running into Edgeworth, and he'd had a difficult time hunting down something to eat that wouldn't kill him first in his weakened condition. After that he'd just hidden himself away until morning.

He'd tried to wrap up his wounds as best as he could, but some still bled through the makeshift bandages. Stumbling inside, he makes his way directly toward the bathroom.]

[action!]

[Oh, that's a familiar sound. She knows it's Heat by the sound of his footsteps, as heavy as Shinjiro's but without the boots. But something's off... He sounds like he can't keep his feet. She gets up and heads downstairs, looking for him.]

Heat?

[action]

[idontregret]

[He stops immediately, having hoped she wouldn't be around.]

Yeah, I just... [No excuse comes to mind to keep her away, and his voice is rough with weariness. Perhaps he shouldn't have said anything at all.] I'm just... gonna head on to bed...

[action]

[The red on his chest is something she immediately spots. She rushes to his side.

You're hurt- What happened?

[voice]

[drainedpaladin]

[he speaks quietly]

I found a shrine in Sector 4, and it's still shogatsu.

[voice]

[foretells]

Really? Can you show me?

[voice]

[drainedpaladin]

I can. I went there this morning. It was crowded.

[voice]

[foretells]

I bet it was... Did you pray there?
