[ The video pops on a to a somewhat frazzled looking woman. She frowns down at the... pillow... in her hands, but then she pouts in a way that doesn't look at all her own age. ]

Nice video function anyways...

[ She straightens up a bit, and the camera moves enough to show that she's surrounded by a lot of other pillows. ]

So I guess this might be some kind of stress-induced hallucination, and I'm in some kind of mental health facility, but I'm feeling a lot more lucid now, and if we could talk about getting me treated a little faster I'd... like that a lot.

[ Her voice is steely, but it's a forced resolve. ]

And let me talk to my family.

A few others have finally managed to convince me that I'm not insane.

It's just the entire universe that's gone insane.

Ah, well, that's one way to put it, I suppose. I have to agree it's all very unbelievable, even though I'm used to strange things already.

[drinkingmama]

I've done things that I thought were strange, but this takes the cake. Are you really used to things that are this weird?

[readthemanual]

Well, I've visited a world that was mostly populated by fairies before I ever heard of this place. That time, me and my friends even turned into fairies ourselves.

[drinkingmama]

There are even more alternate worlds full of fairies and magic. Gotcha.

[ Ahahahahaha oh what the hell is happening to her. ]

...ah, uh, anyways. I'm... Junko Kaname.

[readthemanual]

Apparently so, yes. It was really surprising, but after a while you get used to it.

I'm Reika Aoki. It's nice to meet you, Kaname-san.

[drinkingmama]

Get used to it, huh? God, my daughter's the right age for this, not me...

[ Junko shakes her head. ]

A pleasure, Aoki-san.
