[Click. Duo popped up on the screen.]

Hey. I was thinkin' of holding another basketball thing in a few days. Just trying to figure out interest and stuff... see if maybe we can get together an informal game or something. So, uh... lemme know if you're in, okay?

Newbies, too. Though, it might be hard if you're still restrained. Don't worry about it, though. I'll have another one later and you can join in on that.

Thanks! [He gave a quick wave and- click! Gone again.]

Is the voice from before still here? The one who talked to me?

I tried to think of what I did wrong, but I still don't know... I haven't hurt anyone. Am I really in a "prison"? Does this mean I can't help humans anymore?

All I want to do is to help... I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

[The feed goes to a little boy sitting in a corner, knees to chest and behind him is a semi-messy bedroom, but that's because it hasn't been finished getting fixed. But, there's a reason for it--and here's where you see Yuta wipe his arm across his lightly damp cheeks. No, those weren't tears, or at least he wouldn't admit it.]

[And a question from this melancholy little boy]
Does anyone here still have a family? What were they like? Do you miss them?

[What a thing for a criminal to ask, right?]

Not all of you will understand this, but... [Really, he assumes no one will. Except maybe for Zero, but he's not thinking about him or anyone else here right now.] The worst feeling is when the biggest part of your heart goes missing.

[It's early in the morning yet, and a certain Hero has wandered on a whim into the pet cafe. His head is canted downward currently, fingers currently wandering through the thick, fluffy fur of a puppy who is currently taking up his lap.]

I think... I think I want to take her home. How do I adopt her? Do I have to do something special?

[Because, quite simply, the boy has fallen in love. He's always liked animals, and he already feels a little better about--well, everything. Animals were a lot less confusing than people. They also didn't make his heart race in that strange, overwhelming sort of way.]

[After a nice long shower, for once Hiling is feeling relaxed. She dries off just enough so that she isn't dripping wet. Lounging around in her bath robe sounds like a good way to spend the rest of the day, but she doesn't want to spend it alone. She is going to have herself some quality time with her code-twin even if she has to drag him away from his work. Starting with the upstairs rooms, she goes looking for him. It's still strange for her not to be able to locate him through their connection.]
