三十二 (Text/Voice Post, Japanese)

[BBBZZAP! Haruka lets out a angry growl, tossing the communicator to one side. It clatters noisily onto the floor.]

Dammit, it wasn't supposed to-- [Stomping around] Aaah! I hate how messed-up this place is! I can remember pouring that tea with enough leaves in it to give it taste, but it ended up just hot water that day when I could finally go back to work!

[Muttering, he goes to pick his communicator back up. The audio mode is switched off with an audible click.]

I'm fine. I just thought that would have more time. Geh. Usually that sensation isn't so unpleasant.

Of course as soon as I am free to go out, another murder makes the city unsafe to travel alone in. If I had them back, I wouldn't give a damn.

[[ooc Aack! I didn't realize that so much time had passed! orz]]

did you drink the hot water?

[text]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

A little.

That's how I realized what happened.

[eyes-fearing.livejournal.com]

don't worry

water is safe to drink.

[text]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I wasn't worried to begin with.

[eyes-fearing.livejournal.com]

really? I would be.

if your tea leaves disappear then who knows what could replace them.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

The tea leaves disappeared because they kept being used up. Over and over, while I was caught up in that woman's power.

...Who are you?

[eyes-fearing.livejournal.com]

that woman's power? who?

[text]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I do not know her name. The only reason I even know that it was a woman was from hearing others talk about her after everything started to go back to normal.

Apparently, the school was stuck in a time loop. Everyone here experienced April 1^st repeatedly for three days.

...You still haven't told me who you are.

the power to change time... that kind of thing is terrifying, don't you think?

where's the school?

[text]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

If there is nothing that can be done, then I'd rather use that time worrying about more important things.

Near the old hospital.

...You must not have been here long.

[text]

[eyes-fearing.livejournal.com]

there's always something that can be done.

thank you.

no. I only arrived a few days ago. why am I here?

[text]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Hm.

I see. ...and I wish I knew that answer myself.

[text]

[eyes-fearing.livejournal.com]

i don't want things to be scary here.

why are you here?

[text]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Do you really think that you'll have that kind of choice in this world?

I do not know, and I don't care.

All I want is to find a way to return to the place where I belong.

[text]

[eyes-fearing.livejournal.com]

the only choice is how to deal with the fear.

you want to go home ...

[text]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Then hide away. Just don't involve me. I won't be there to do the same.

Yes.
