Yeah, I know! [he's equally frazzled? lup!!!!!] And her name's Hajime. I wanted to go back out there and see if there was anything we missed, and try to find that squirrel that bit Claude. But what's going on?
[ the squirrel that bit claude WHAT - she stores that for later. ]
I don't - like I know! [ her voice does that jump in octave thing. ] I woke up, went to check the planetarium, and came outside to an announcement that there's a body somewhere!
Did you - did you get locked where you were, too? Last night.
Her body was in the woods. Hilda saw it. [so that absolutely happened and it might explain why he's frazzled. he also then looks...embarrassed?]
We thought Mob broke the door. But it was fixed again this morning. It just happened out of nowhere, we don't know why. Was it like that for everyone then?
Yeah. We tried to open it and it wouldn't budge from our side either. [guess where he was, lup. just guess.] Me and Mob and two others. [he knows names but also it's just not important in the grand scheme of things yet.]
The only guess I have is that someone really wants to win.
... You think - okay, bear with me. [ wild conspiracy theory. ] Nova's attracted to people. What if nova's something... in us. It's our memories? Or something like that, something only people have, and the fastest way to get it is to, uh - to bleed someone of it.
Harvest a person for nova. [ she looks uneasy about this. ]
It's not really as crazy as it sounds. They did say that the things we were supposed to find the other day were nova that took on a new form. And they were things from our worlds.
[he frowns then.] If the Realm requires nova, it might not be that it's the fastest way but that it's the more whole way. Collecting something complete to help fuel something bigger instead of little fragments.

Apparently. It was me and Taako... a few other people in the kitchen? [ don't ask her what their names are. ] The swinging door like, locked. Somehow.

We're being screwed with. [ she says, trying to fruitlessly smooth sora's hair down a bit. ] You can't tell me you think this is a coincidence.
no subject
I...I don't think the Leaders had anything to do with this, but I don't think it was totally an accident either. I just don't get why.

Great. Great. So - hah. [ she takes just a second to not throw a fit. hm. ] So that probably means this is just the first one, if this is all true.

[...except that explains nothing about the locked doors or being knocked unconscious so. hm.]

[ ... are there more leaves in his hair. ]

...I don't want to give up and decide it was the worst thing possible until we know a little more. That's not fair to Hajime.
no subject
Whatever, kid. Let's go inside.
no subject
Yeah...okay. [he doesn't want to.] But what if we're missing something out there?
