[This might be a familiar face to some people around here, even if her time here before was oddly short-lived but Megumi's back, looking a little sheepish as she speaks into the communicator.]

Wow, I didn't expect to wake up here again. I was really surprised!

[That seems to be an understatement. ... She's soaking wet.]

Um. I don't remember my way around very well, does anybody know where I can get something new to wear? I kind of rolled out of the pod after it opened.

[How did she manage that...??]

[How in the world did she manage to...? Never mind. Raye doesn't want to know. There's something about this girl's cheerful optimism that reminds her of a certain meatball-headed friend.]

You can borrow one of the shrine uniforms while your clothes dry. It's too cold to just keep wearing them.

There are plenty of shops around that sell clothes.

[That seemed like the obvious question, but one she had on her mind was simple.]

But were you sleep when you rolled out?

Really?!

[So, not only did she just get invited to the shrine but she gets to borrow one of the outfits too? Suddenly exciting!]

That sounds great! I think I remember where that is....

I know, I just don't remember where they all are.

[Another sheepish look and then she looks thoughtful.]

Hmm... well, I was just waking up but at first I thought I just woke up too early so I tried to reach for my clock, and when I couldn't find it I reached further.

[A beat.]

And then I fell out.

So you don't have a map?

[He wonders is he could add that to what he was working on. After all that was something that could be helpful to people who were new arrivals.]

As for getting dry, maybe you could just maybe find a place to live and get dry there.

So you thought you were in your nice comfy bed. I can see where people would get that mistake because when your in bed, you don't think you are in some other world in a pod that one could only think was from some sci-fi movie or something.

[At least in her mind anyway.]

Right! Exactly!

[In her mind as well, apparently.]

They should at least have pillows around them or something instead of water! Making people come here without telling them is bad enough without drenching them too.

[It's just inconsiderate.]

No, just this pamphlet and this necklace.

[She shakes her head, looking down a the items in her hands. At least she knew they belonged to her this time.]

That's a good idea. I wonder if the apartment I had last time is still free.

Excuse me...

[Terra is still awkward on the phones but she is trying.]

You mean that you went home and then came back?

[She is trying to think of places to get clothing but without her map she is a little useless.]

I think so.

[She pauses in thought.]

I was here for a little while and then I woke up here again, but I don't remember leaving or anything.

I wasn't aware we could go home. I am sorry you ended up back here.

[There's something of a falter in her. It's true that being here meant being away from her home, and her friends and... and she shakes it off. Everyone's going through the same thing, she can't make everyone else worry about her.]

I-it's fine! I met some interesting people here, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of them again.

That's good.

[Terra gives the girl a rare smile.]

I didn't mean to bother you. Thank you for talking with me.

[A quick shake of her head and a smile of her own.]

You didn't bother me at all! I still don't know that many people around here, so I need to make as many friends as I can.

[It's just what you do when you find yourself somewhere new. Make friends.]

Oh, right, my name's Megumi. What's yours?

My name is Terra.

[She isn't very good at making friends but she is happy that someone would so easily call her a friend.]

I don't know many people here either.

That's a nice name. It's nice to meet you!

[Ah. She doesn't know many people here? Hmm... that's not right at all. Clearly, there's only one solution.]

In that case, if I manage to make a lot of friends here I'll make sure to introduce you to all of them.

[She has completely forgotten about her wet clothes.]

W-why would you do that?

[She is happy but she is also confused. Terra isn't used to having friends yet and is still getting used to it. She can't believe that this person could trust so easily. She hopes to be the same.]

You don't even know me.

[The girls wet state should be important but Terra isn't sure what to do to help about that.]

Hm?

[Megumi blinks as if that hadn't even occurred to her.]

That's okay, I didn't know some of my teammates back home very well either at first but now we're best friends. And, anyway, having more friends would make you happy too, right?

[That's not as big a problem as it seems anyway. If it ever occurs to her to use the magic mirror in her pocket to change her outfit.]

That's true but... I don't want to be an imposition.

[Terra nervously smiles at the video feed. She is excited but she isn't the best at showing it. It is like all of her emotions just started coming back.]

You won't be! I always like to make friends and--

[-- and she suddenly sneezes. Oh, right, it's cold out here and she's still all wet. She laughs a little sheepishly.]

Uh, but I guess I should find somewhere to live again first, huh?

[Terra isn't one to give advise about getting a place to live considering she has been sleeping were ever the last week but she recognized the shiver.]

Are you alright?

[Her expression doesn't falter much, despite the shiver. She nods.]

I'm okay. It's just getting a little cold out, that's all.

I could always find out for you, if you knew where you lived before.

[He was giving his programs the once or five times over before he knew for certain it would be able to work.]

Do you recall where you lived?

I admit I don't quite understand why it's surrounded by water anyway. You just don't need that and it would be fine.

[Water makes no sense in her mind.]

Although the next best thing would always be an extra change of clothes as well.

Maybe we can find you a jacket?

[Even as she suggests the idea it sounds silly. Terra had no money to buy a jacket and she doesn't think one will just be lying around waiting for them.]

You've been here before?

[Raye must have missed her.]

...Well, if you need a reminder, let me know.

[...Oh dear.]

I just got here myself, and could use some new clothes too if you want some company.

[The white burial shroud she had arrived was not the best of looks, really. Still, she was trying her best to act normal.]

..."Again"? You've been here before.
