[ video/action in Nova City near the Bay ]

I had heard about the things that looked like stars that appeared near the new Bay and wanted to check them out.

[ Nozaki takes the camera off if himself now, showing everything around. he's showing off the hole in the ground, the water, the shining stars in the water ]

I thought that someone had pulled a prank and put coins in there. But they aren't coins. They're lighted stars. But how are they powered?

[ he reaches out, the video still recording. it takes him a couple of tries, but he picks up one of the stars up, turning it around in his fingers and then setting it in his palm for everyone to see. in a matter of seconds, the star dissipates into his hand. holding his hand up afterward, it glows with thousands of stars on it ]

Mikoshiba, I think I've been chosen to be a hero in a game--

[ he stops speaking abruptly, seeing this memory as he drops the phone into the ground beside the hole. he's quiet for a long time, the finally shouts ]

S-Sakura!!

AH?! No fair, Nozaki! You don't even play enough video games!

[Some grumbling along the lines of "that star better not have been for me" while he's running and nearly hits the table while he does to get to the Bay because this is his chance, but.

That didn't sound right.]

Nozaki...are you okay?

[ he's quiet, almost too quiet. he was sad about Chiyo being gone... but just having that memory come back to him made things a little worse. he frowned, closing his eyes sadly ]

Mikoshiba... I think I've become a villian instead. All these sad memories are coming to me!

[Mikoshiba can pretty much figure out what's going on in Nozaki's head right now. He misses Sakura. It's obvious to everyone but Nozaki.]

Don't say that! Every good video game protagonist has a tragic past they must overcome! Moving past it is what separates them from the villain! You can do it, believe in yourself, Nozaki!!!

I received these new powers and now I'm remembering sad things. I can't use my powers yet either, maybe I need to do something.

If I don't have powers then why is my hand glowing? [ he holds his hand out, making different hand signals. one of them might or might not be Spiderman's gesture when he shoots a web. and the stars finally die away, fading slowly ]

[ he takes a deep breath ] Mikoshiba... I never used my powers for good in time!! I wasted them!!!

Your hand...

Nozaki, you're so cool! [And he means it. That is like the coolest thing he's seen Nozaki do. His admiration is disintegrated as soon as the stars die.]

I don't think that was a super power to begin with. They don't normally work that way. Unless it was a one time move, but there's no final boss...

Like some super move? I didn't get a chance to use it.

[ he frowns, going to sit beside the hole now as he sets the phone beside him. he's looking at the water now ]

...Do you think Sakura got home safely?

[He sighs, puts on his shoes and steps outside. He starts heading to the Bay.]

I think so. I don't remember anything when I got here, nothing strange or dangerous. I'm sure she's safe.
