25th sigh

[sosnarrator]

[Since the event has started, Kyon has effectively been holed up hiding at home. It's pretty clear from the tone of his voice on the phone that he's feeling even more stressed than usual.]

Okay, what the fuck?

Why the hell have they sent us another one of these goddamn letters!?

Do they really think that telling me to "pick up the pace" will

[epilogical]

An enhanced sense of uneasiness has been established after receiving the letters. Judging by your tone, you are not exempt of it. Please try to calm down.

[sosnarrator]

Wouldn't an enhanced sense of uneasiness be a natural side effect of being expected to go out into a field of slaughter, where by all likelihood, I'm probably being targeted by someone?

[epilogical]

Yes, but I do believe I would not react in such a way in regular conditions.

[sosnarrator]

And what would you consider "regular conditions" in this situation?

[sosnarrator]

I'm trying to just ignore it all.

[sosnarrator]

Right, well hopefully not everyone is stupid enough to just go out there with a knife and asking their targets to "Please die?"...

[zombee_slayer]

Apparently the damn fucks, I don't even know who the hell I'm supposed to kill!

[sosnarrator]

It's a pain in the ass, huh?

[zombee_slayer]

Of course it's a fucking pain in the ass!

[sosnarrator]

Well, it's not like there's a whole lot we can do about it.

[bogusmagicker]

Kyon.

[Yuki's voice comes with an unusual sense of urgency. Unaccustomed to emotion as she is, she is not skilled at masking it in her speech.]

Asylum has been offered to me at the church. As I am unable to defend you in my current state and as you have been required to participate in these activities, I request that you accompany me to safety.

[sosnarrator]

Nagato! The church, huh? Where should we meet before we head there then?

[bogusmagicker]

I will come find you at your home. Stay where you are.

[sosnarrator]

You sure? I mean, as you said, you don't have any defensive measures at the moment...

[flameyedhunter]

Kyon.

[Where Yuki sounds more emotional, Shana's voice is flatter.]

[sosnarrator]

Shana! Are you okay?

[flameyedhunter]

You're hearing my voice, aren't you? Don't be stupid.

[sosnarrator]

Well, you sound kind of... Not quite your usual self?
