[The feed begins early in the morning, just before dawn. It's impossible to say who's recording, because all it captures is the sunrise. And it's beautiful; the colors are vivid, the day is cold and it makes everything that much sharper.

The sun climbs over the horizon at last and there's a flurry of dust across the screen. The PCD turns off when the feed times out.]


[OFFLINE: a note to Raven]

Hey, Spatzi.

I need to speak to the Higher Ups. Hold it together while I'm gone, ja?

[It's not signed because, well, she'll know who it was from.

There's also a note to Alphonse, saying simply, 'Sorry. Watch after Negi'. The few herbs Johannes left that Horst recognizes are mixed into sachets for Killua, Kotarou, and Negi. It encourages dreamless sleep.

If your name is Tyki, you get a key to Horst's bar and a note: 'Help yourself.']

[Usagi's a girl who's committed suicide in despair before, in some worlds. Seeing it this close to home is... difficult.

But her face registers only horror as she realizes just what Mina must be feeling right now.]

I don't know. I don't know at all.

I don't either, but I wish I was dead right now...

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Don't say that!

[Her face crumples all over again, because Mina, what she just saw.]

Don't worry...I need to stay alive to slap him when he gets back for what he has done to everyone.

Mina...

I'm sorry.

[Though Mina sounds calm, behind her crimson eyes lies deep pain and depression. If you look closely it is fairly obvious she is choking back a torrent of tears.]

It is all right, we all need to support each other in moments like this...

But, Horst does deserve a harsh talking to for doing something so stupid. Do you care to help when the time comes?

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Will he want to see me, do you think?

Re: [Video]

[storyofapromise.livejournal.com]

Horst is your friend, and time heals all wounds...

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Mm. [But she's not quite as sure about that about... anyone, lately. Things have her so mixed up and turned around and stressed and pushed. And Horst has never really seemed to want to let her in, typically. But sometimes, sometimes he'd seemed to.]

Re: [Video]

[storyofapromise.livejournal.com]

Things will be ok, I'll make sure they will be...

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Mina. I'll do anything I can to help.

Re: [Video]

[storyofapromise.livejournal.com]

Thank you. This will be a hard time for us all, but I believe we will endure as we always have.

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Endurance. I really don't have much of that.

Re: [Video]

[storyofapromise.livejournal.com]

You can lean on my shoulder as much as you wish. It is what friends are for.

[Mina falls silent for a moment.]

Why do you think Horst didn't tell me about this?

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I guess... Because he probably knew you'd try to stop him, and he didn't want to be stopped.

Re: [Video]

[storyofapromise.livejournal.com]

I would have done everything in my power to prevent him from doing this....

Re: [Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I know. Me, too.
