[ The video shows the interior of a kitchen, the communicator placed on the counter and propped up to remain steady. Mami is seen in the center of it and in front of her was a tray filled with red velvet and chocolate cupcakes. With a small smile on her face she rests her left hand on the counter while her right motions to the cupcakes. ]

I seemed to have made more cupcakes than I needed to.

Would anyone care for one or two?

I would like to thank our hosts for being so gracious as to bringing a bit of home here. It was a pleasant surprise to see that my apartment truly is my apartment.

TEXT TO MADOKA KANAME: I will be out tonight to go hunting. My Soul Gem seems to be picking up a faint trace of a witch or, given how weak the response is, more than likely a familiar.

[ The view of the video feed shows the face of a teenage girl with blond hair and eye color of golden-amber. The camera shakes a little as the background showing that she is moving as she speaks with the view of the Avasaṭa Station behind her. Her expression was a thoughtful one, betraying no emotion with only the tiniest of smiles tugging at the corners of her mouth. ]

Is there any one person I could speak to about this? I would like to help in any way that I can.

[ She had her own troubles back home in her world. Ones that she knew she needed to get back to help fight. There were others there, but it did not offer her enough comfort. The light weight of her bag at her side reminded her, too, that she had limits here. The Grief Seed in her possession had enough for two uses left. After that...

Torn between her duty back home and the desire to save those that resided here was a troubling dilemma. But regardless she maintained her smile when she looked back into the camera. ]

I suppose I should introduce myself too-- my name is Mami Tomoe. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.
