H-Hello? Is it working...? Oh, dear... [ the video is shaky — like, really shaking, as sakura holds her phone with trembling fingers. uncertainty and fear make themselves crystal clear on her features as she looks down at the device, speaking as best she can. ]

The see-through woman said that we could speak to others on- on here. Can anyone h-h-hear me? Ryoma? Takumi? Hinoka...? [ ANYONE? she lists off another series of names and the longer this goes on, the more desperate sakura sounds, the shakier her voice gets, like she's on the verge of tears. ] Please, someone answer me! I-I have to get back... I ca-can't stay here!

I haven't joined the investigation, so I wouldn't know. It eludes me where anyone would even begin investigating this place or why we are here.

[quietstrength]

O-Oh, I see. [ she's not sure what to say after that, her cheeks tinting pink as she just stares awkwardly at the phone now. ] Uhm. M-Maybe we could talk to the locals?

[dominantprince]

I don't believe that would work. If it were that simple, then we'd have that information already. [He didn't think anyone here would skip such an obvious method of obtaining info.]

[quietstrength]

O-Oh, of course. I should have r-realized... [ anxiety does not make way for logical decisions sometimes. but she's trying her best dammit. ] T-There has to be something. I, um... I'll k-keep an eye out, f-for anything that might help! It's... that's r-really all I can do, I guess.

[dominantprince]

There likely is.However, I'm not sure you will be able to think up anything in the state you are in now. [A person would always make their best decisions with a calm mind.]

[quietstrength]

[ a valid point. she's really not in any condition to do anything but lay down on the ground and cry. still, she seems slightly calmer than she was initially. ] I-I need to try and find my f-family first, anyway. They might be h-here, and they could help more than I would.

[dominantprince]

What are their names and what is your name?

[quietstrength]

My n-name is Sakura. [ she bows as best she can over the phone, which ends up just being a slight nod of her head. ] There's R-Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, and C-Corrin. As well as my r-retainers: Subaki and Hana. [ and a bunch more but she won't ... list the entire hoshidan army. ]

[dominantprince]

Yashiro Tsurugi. [He takes a moment or two to think over the names.]

If any of them are here, then I haven't met them. [That wasn't to say that they weren't here at all. There were a lot of people that he hasn't met.]

[quietstrength]

It's nice to m-meet you. [ her shoulders drop a bit. ] Oh. I guess I'll just have to keep looking, then.
