[video]
The last several jolts of Vianca's consciousness had not been what anyone could call pleasant. The last thing she had remembered about Havenwell was the warmth of morning sunshine. Then that sunshine had lost its warmth, its departure bringing weak stutters of breath and the crumbled remains of a place that had once been her whole world. The sunlight was still there, filtering in through the broken ceilings and crushed walls. Oh, she had thought as she laid there, a dream. A very nice one. It was a shame she couldn't hold on to it in the end.
Then there was nothing.
So when she opened her eyes in a sunlit temple a second time, she was not sure what to do. She stayed right there for a very long time, until one of the kind priests helped her to her feet so she could find her way. It... had been cold, the last time she had been outside? She thought so anyway, but the more she thought about it, the more she wasn't sure. Maybe it had been warm the whole time?
She had only gotten so far through the temple before she had to crouch down in a corner, because things were a little too overwhelming. Thinking about what the season meant was too much. Starting over was too much. What if it was just her all over again? That, more than anything, was far too much.
It took a very long time, but eventually Vianca slowly picked up the tablet that had been handed to her. Whether it was the same one she'd had or a new one, she didn't have the courage to check. The focus was simply on opening the network and keeping her breath steady.

[It was a little bit dark there in the corner of Ohma's temple, but it was still possible to see the pink little girl on the screen. Her mouth was pressed in a thin, worried line, and for a moment it might have seemed like the video frame was actually frozen.
Then she took a breath, and spoke in a spectacularly tiny voice into the screen.]
... Hello?

They're just different kinds of feelings altogether, you know? To start with, your heart doesn't necessarily have to be in step with the person you're i--in love with.
no subject
I do not know. That is why I am asking? [So that she can know.]
But you said you didn't get along with your best friend at first either...
no subject
no subject
[Honestly why she stuck to journals and books.]
no subject
[ how do you think Skip Beat has gone on this long ]
But don't let that make you give up on friendship, Vianca-chan.
no subject
Mm. I will see what happens.
no subject
Mm! Good. Anyway--more importantly for right now, are you okay here? Should I walk you home, or do you feel like staying here a while longer?
no subject
I... think I'd like to stay here for a bit. To settle.
no subject
That's fine though, just the fact that Vianca woke up and apparently decided not to venture out of the temple at all kinda suggests that something is Up. Kyoko isn't here to press on it though. ]
I see. Can I sit with you here for a little while, then?
no subject
If that is what you'd like. Yes.
no subject
I want to.
[ Commence sitting next to Vianca for An Amount of Time. It's happening. No further explanation needed. ]
