[ Mayu checked the network right after waking up. The enormity of what happened hasn't fully sunken in.]

Brother and I are back from the Dream Docks.

Is anyone back from the dead yet?

Private to Manga House residents and Sand Gym employees


Did he get any of you? Is there any way I can help anyone?


[ Mayu is not going to assume that Battler posted all of his victims. It's only natural to worry.]

[ Nozaki is actually really uncomfortable knowing that he left and there was a murderer running around torturing people... since you just come back from the dead ]

Heard anything from Mikoshiba or Kashima?

Not me. And I'm glad he didn't get you either.

[Marc's leaning against an alley wall near Genessia City Hospital, looking haggard and haunted but now relieved. Thank Khonshu it was just the Dream Docks.]

For now, I think the most we can do is to be there for them.

[But there's something else in his eyes. A look Mayu's likely never seen, certainly not in Gym class. It says, "And nail the sonuvabitch who did this."]

[ When they left, the murderer was still pretending to be nice and friendly. They had no way of knowing that they would wake up to such horror.]

They haven't answered my text. Mikoto showed his reaction to the videos.

[ Typing was a lot easier than talking, especially when on the verge of hysterics.]

Sorry.

Now, I wonder if Haller-san was able to get anything useful from me.

[ It didn't even occur to Mayu that anyone would be worried about him, until Marc's response. He told everyone where would be and filled out the time off paperwork. ]

I'll try.

[ He notices that expression, and stating the obvious. He figures this would require extensive teamwork and planning.]

Be careful

[graduations]

I'm fine, Mayu-san.. thank you. I'm glady ou're okay.

[nrgsvr]

Sorry. I am glad you weren't physically harmed.

Do you need time off?

[graduations]

No.. it was mostly people I didn't know very well. It's very upsetting, but I think I would rather work than sit home worrying.

[nrgsvr]

Weiss is my friend.

I'm not well acquainted with the others. Jaune was Nora's teammate in their world.

Levy sells brother's manga.

[ His response is slower than the previous one. It's hard to type while crying.]

[graduations]

Perhaps you should take off. I'll take care of things at Sand Gym while you're gone if you'd like.

[nrgsvr]

Thank you.
I'll try to come back when scheduled. If I can.

I want to see everyone.

[ Staying home would limit how many people he could see and confirm that the murderer didn't get them.]

[graduations]

Why don't you come in to visit and not worry about work then? I don't want you overworking yourself.

[nrgsvr]

I'll see what I can handle. We probably won't be too busy, unless more people sign up for self defense.

Weiss helped me take over Sand Gym when Temari left.

[the_heroine]

where are you both?

[The murderer is still around and he doesn't want to leave anyone alone.]

[text]

[nrgsvr]

We're at the dream docks.

If you're coming to meet us, don't come alone.

[text]

[the_heroine]

I'm coming to meet you.

[Sorry, Mayu, but seeing that he's safe for himself is more important than trying to keep him from worrying more.]

[text]

[nrgsvr]

[ Mayu is staying with his brother, as a precaution.]

Can you find someone to come with you?

[graduations]

It's a possibility.

I'm sorry. It sounds like you two were close.

[nrgsvr]

Yes.

Not as close as the friends he targeted.
