[Hikari appears on screen looking...perhaps not as upset as she's been in the past, but she was visibly shaken.]

I've had at least five people come up to me this afternoon, asking about some sort of...skeleton outbreak? Saying they heard I was starting some awful rumour.

I would never do such a thing, I promise! Please...the person they kept mentioning...you have to believe me. It wasn't me.

The best way to get a rumor about you to continue on and thrive is to shout that it wasn't you. Hold onto the fact that you know it wasn't you and trust that the people who matter most will believe you. Don't worry so much about the strangers.

I had one about me recently that stated I'd upset a witch and were to expect spiders in my bed. I didn't let it bother me for a minute. Why should I? It just gives the person spreading it a reason to continue on.

I've been insisting as much already. It seems as if it's going to take some time, unfortunately. Though I feel bad for the person they said I've been spreading rumours about. They must be feeling awful as well.

I believe you. You don't seem the type to run around screaming malicious and hurtful nonsense about people. Believe me; I grew up around those people. You're not one of them.

My name is Evie.

That's very kind of you to say, Evie. I appreciate it very much. I'm Hikari.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Hikari. You'll be fine. I survived my rumor. It's just someone in town, trying to gain attention and to make themselves feel good, they bring others down.

They need a new hobby. If I knew who it was, I'd help them find one.

[ Or...possibly...teach them a lesson in spreading rumors. As one from her world does. ]

[Hikari was far less interested in revenge as she was simply righting a perceived wrong. Though, if she could find a way to end these rumour habits once and for all, she certainly wouldn't hesitate to make an attempt.]

Does this happen often? I remember seeing other people on the network in the past talking about things happening to them, but it can sometimes be difficult to figure out the reason why.

[ They can take the girl off of the Isle, but they can't take the Isle out of the girl, it seems. She's far kinder than she was, and revenge is more an afterthought than a way of life. ]

At least once a month, that I've seen. It's pretty ridiculous.

[Meanwhile, Hikari's heart was quite literally made of Light.]

How awful. I should have paid more attention to what was going on around me. Not just whatever I saw from behind my camera lens. Maybe...I could have done something to help.

Right now, the best thing you can do is try to be understanding of the people that have had rumors spread about them. I don't really know how to go about finding who is spreading them. All of the spells I've tried don't really pan out and I can't figure out why.

[Spells. Her mind instantly went to Wizarmon, as many years as it had been since she'd last seen Tailmon's dearest (and first) friend.]

Magic?

I'm a witch. I grew up learning potions and spells. I promise, I'm not one of the 'curse everyone for slighting me' types.

Anymore.

[Hikari wasn't so much worried about that. Not even the 'Anymore' condition. She was very familiar with people seeking redemption for their past actions. Including her own partner.]

You must have led quite the interesting life. I had a friend once who was a wizard. Sort of. Unfortunately, I didn't get to know him for very long, but he was close with my partner.

If it's a rumor, just ignore it.

I thought this place had an outbreak of 'living dolls' recently?

[Her brows lightly furrowed together. Not entirely unfamiliar with the 'living dolls' issue, although...]

I heard about that. But...I was asleep for most of it. In the Dream Docks.
