[Video Post | Backdated to before Issei's return]

[Naoto's sitting on her bed and clinging to a pillow. No, she doesn't realize she's virused. She thinks it's because Issei forgot about her that she's feeling so distraught.]

...he really did forget about us.

[She buries her face in the pillow, her fingers digging deep into the fabric.]

Hey, everything okay? Sounds like you're having a rough time of it. Anything I can do?

[truthinfortune]

Issei-kun... forgot about the community... He was my very first friend, and I...

A-Actually... there is something you could do for me...

[ddd_zack]

Shit, that's rough. Losing a friend is always hard.

Name it!

[truthinfortune]

I foolishly believed that something like this would never happen to me. It was always someone else whose friends left the community. Now... I can truly understand the pain they must have experienced when their dearest friends suddenly forgot all the precious memories they created together...

Could I... have a hug, please?

[gonnabe1st]

...looks like you could use some company.

[truthinfortune]

Yeah... I'd really like that...

[gonnabe1st]

There are a few people wanting to get to your place. If you'd like, I can help with that.

[truthinfortune]

I would certainly appreciate that. I just... feel so lonely. I can't really understand it. I have Cordelia here with me, after all...

[It seems as though Ed is crashing the party, thanks to Mello bringing him from where he was having his little temper tantrum. He looks absolutely strung out and miserable.]

[With nothing to do to get that creepy feeling off of him he's forced to grab a seat and sulk.]

Hi Naoto.

[truthinfortune]

Edward... [She seems a bit gloomy, but at least the smile she offers him looks genuine.] I'm so glad to see you.

[She approaches, wanting nothing more than to fling her arms around his neck and pull him close, but some feeling of propriety causes her to hesitate.]

I'd be more glad to see you if I wasn't fucking freaking out about this whatever thing that's happening. It's making my skin crawl. It's been two days. Urgh.

[Actionspam]

[truthinfortune]

Two days? Has it really been that long? [She looks a bit shamefaced.] I've been trying to avoid the community for a bit, ever since I heard about Issei-kun...

You look like you could use a hug right about now...

[clockmaster]

It must be a virus. Kuroba and Aoko-chan got it before. [That's what he likes to think, anyway.]

[truthinfortune]

You really think so...? Then... his lapse in memory is only temporary...?

[softly] Now I know what it must have felt like for you when Akako-san...

[There's no need to finish that sentence.]

[clockmaster]

It can be a virus too, perhaps he is the first one affected.

.... [B|]

[truthinfortune]

I hope so. I really do. Because... I can't stand the thought of being forgotten... I know it's selfish to think that, but I...

[She's going to bury her face in her pillow again.]
