Hi, there! I hope that everyone’s okay after the Story Eater attack. That was… really intense.

Anyway… I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, and I think I’m going to go home for a little while. I want to get stronger at cooking, and that’ll take some time and practice. [And she wants to strengthen her relationships with her friends and family there…] I don’t know how long I’ll be in my world, or how much I’ll be able to remember this time, but I’ll ask to Storyteller to bring me back in a few days by Index time.

Before I go, though… what are some of your favorite foods? Are there any recipes from your homes that you miss here? What about birthdays, or holidays that aren’t celebrated in the Index?


[For almost everyone, that’s the whole message. But then Kotori adds another, more private question to a certain someone.]

Hey, Roxas-kun? Are you free today? Can we talk in-person for a bit?

Oh, that? I go by there all the time!

[ As of RIGHT THIS SECOND after he's done writing at her. ]

Oh! That's a huge relief. For a second, I was worried about that doppleganger the storyteller made screwing things up for me back home.

[... Yeah, Kotori can spot the inconsistency there (if he went there all the time, why didn't he know about the flavor?), buuuut this isn't Bullet Time so she'll let it slide.]

Yeah... I'm not quite sure how that works, but it is kind of a relief that once we go home, things are as close to normal as they can be, considering the Story Eater.

[shslliar]

[ Phew, dodged a bullet there. ]

Yep... Hope he didn't mess up too much back at [ He almost wrote something else but erased it ] our homes.

[ricebird]

[... Kokichi, you sure you don't want Pinocchio's essence instead? Because Kotori can tell things are up.]

Right... I hope not too.

[shslliar]

[No thanks, he's not gonna spill his guts to some girl he barely knows.]

Whelp! Good luck back home, Iida-chan.

[ricebird]

[Fair... at least he means well. She thinks.]

Thanks, Oma-kun. You take care too in the mean time.

[ There's a drawing of a thumbs up, and nothing more. ]
