[There video opens to a beautiful scene of a sunset at the Fishing District, sky painted in magnificent pinks and oranges that reflect against the pristine ice. A few moments later, a young man's voice accompanies it, tinged with the telltale slurring of someone who's rather drunk.]

Hey, question.

[A pause hangs in the air for a minute, almost long enough that one might wonder if he's gotten distracted or forgotten.]

Did you like your life, before the Storm? [. . .] If the Natha gave you a chance to go back, would any of you stay here?

[Kagari doesn't miss Japan. He doesn't feel homesick. He misses his friends, sure, but he's had more in the past nine months than he did in the twenty-one years before it. But he's starting to feel like the only one.]

So why're you fussed if they wake up here, then? Sounds like El Nysa's practically like a vacation.

[maipokerface]

Just because we've been through stuff before doesn't mean I want anyone to keep going through it. And in a totally unknown place too.

[Though... well, after a year, it didn't feel that strange anymore.]

I'm not fussed about it.

[She sorta is.]

[hedonistic]

You're still arguing with a drunk stranger about it. I'd say you're pretty fussed.

[Mai goes through a few expression trying to pin one down. She finally settles on a disgruntled look.]

Okay, sure, fine. Maybe I am then.

[For his part, Kagari sure is wearing a dumbass "did I win" sort of grin.]

Weeeell~

Good luck on your friends not waking up then, I guess~
