[Right from the moment she starts speaking it's noticeable something's wrong with Umi: her voice isn't as self-assured as usual. She sounds more than a little drained and jaded, as if she just woke up from sleep.]

Sorry if I worried anyone. I couldn't be around yesterday. So tired...

[There's a pause.] It was... something, huh. Just the

Umi... We agreed there's nothing to be sorry for.

...But it was nice seeing them again.

[soulofocean]

I know. I'm just silly.

I wish it'd have been for a better cause than some nasty curse that they visited, too...

[redstrength]

I agree, but I think it would've been nicer if the spirits had been here.

[soulofocean]

Maybe not even the mashins can pass through this place's barrier unless they're dragged in here just like us. If that's the case, guess it's better for them to stay away...

[godisacreampuff]

[I'm glad you're alright, Umi.]

[soulofocean]

Thanks, Mokona. It turned out better than I thought it would, after all that happened...

[godisacreampuff]

[Of course, Umi. And I suppose you can say that, despite everything...]

[soulofocean]

You don't have to apologize at all! I...

Like I said, I've no right to judge your situation, Mister Graham.

[virgocentric]

That's kind of you, but I don't mind if you do or not-- I am at odds with your friends. There's no harm in disagreeing with me.

[soulofocean]

Well, disagreeing with you doesn't mean I won't respect your point of view. I don't know what's behind this.

[denyinurgod]

...It's just a curse.

voice;

[soulofocean]

Yeah. And it's already over.

...Setsuna, right?

voice;

[denyinurgod]

Yes.

And you are the one in the blue mobile armor.

voice;

[soulofocean]

Mm, the same. Umi. Ryuuzaki Umi. Nice to meet you, and... sorry again.
