[She wasn't really counting on making a video post now or...well, maybe not ever, but given the status of all these manipulative monster ghosts being present, she has to risk embarrassment in order to avoid being negligent and selfish.]

[So it's with an expression that's surprisingly serious for the usually carefree and cheerful Orihime as she stands before her device, bowing slightly by means of introduction.]

I don't know how many people already know or not, but there aren't just Moonblessed trying to get in contact with the living right now. There are monsters too, and vengeful spirits, and they seem like they're able to mimic the same actions of someone you know to convince you to moonlace with them and anchor them in this realm again.

[She rests her fingertips against her collarbone.]

I can see spirits, and feel their unique power too, kind of like a signature. So if you're not sure whether or not you're being haunted, please call me, and I'll rush right over to help you out. At the very least, even if it's not a monster, I can help you communicate with each other. And if it is something bad, I can drive it off.

[Her hand lowers.]

There are others who have these abilities too, so I thought this might be a useful place to speak up and offer help. Don't worry about the time either, even if it's 3 a.m., I'll answer! My name is Orihime. Pleased to meet you.

[She opens her mouth as if to say something more, but there's a vaguely guilty look in her eye as her gaze drops. Then she closes her mouth, inclines her head, and reaches forward to shut off the recording.]

[He wasnt crazy, but he did have some skewed views and a strange logic system. He probably wasn't dangerous for the moment. He was still trying to wrap his head properly around the situation. Nothing truly felt real.]

The only true monster I can really think of was a human girl that glorified despair. Everything else is just fiction, and really that I'd all a matter of perspective.

I knew someone like that too.

[And he was definitely terrifying. The one who liked nihilism was a lot easier for her to cope with.]

What did she do that made her monstrous?

She destroyed the world by spreading despair... infecting everyone like a disease, and set up the killing game.

The whole world...? How is that even possible?

[She's not sure if she should ask about the killing game or not. For one, it sounds gruesome. For another, it sounds self-explanatory.]

She targeted those with Talent, those the world looked up to and inspired Hope. She twisted the school, caused mass suicide, and from there people broke.

She was an infection that wasn't found soon enough, and the world suffered for it.

[She listens, shocked, and maybe a little morbidly curious. Hope and Despair must be far more tangible and influential than in hers. Maybe he's not as crazy as she first thought. Maybe he's just hurt and reeling.]

...If it's okay to ask...did you die?

Hmmm....

[He has to think about that and how to answer it. His killing game still felt fresh and his circumstances were... complicated.]

I suppose you could say that, but at the same time I didn't.

But then... I never die for real.

[It was said with a sigh, as if brushes with death was just a common thing for him.]

What do you mean?

[Hopefully she's not being rude asking so many personal questions, but it seems like he doesn't mind answering. If anything, it might be helpful to talk about it. It seemed to help Jaune, so maybe the talking toilets are right and a lot of people have pent up a great deal of stress.]

[Though there were things he found hard to talk about, for some reason the killing games were not one of them. They were a fact, and ultimately lead to good. The traumas of his childhood were another thing however.]

The killing game i was a part of was virtual, so, even though I died, I still lived.

But, that’s just to be expected. I’m very lucky after all.

Oh. So it was like a video game!

[That's not so bad, right? The rest of the stuff still sucks, but at least he didn't have to feel the pain and horror of being brutally murdered!]

Sort of, it was indistinguishable from reality though, and we didn't know it was fake at the time.

The mind... definitely thought it was all real.

I guess that would be pretty scary.

[Everyone's had nightmares like that before, she's pretty sure.]

Well...I hope you get to rest here for a while and take it easy. That's a lot of stress to carry around.

It's fine, though, there was business I had to attend to before arriving here. It's a bit of a bother to be interrupted like that.

Yeah... I don't want my friends to worry about me either.

[This isn't the first time she's gone missing, so unless time stops in her world...and she has no reason to believe that it does...this is going to be the second time this year. Her grades are going to tank, too.]

I guess it's a good chance to experience some new things, and work on our training. So it's not a bad thing!

I'm not sure they would worry about me. But, they did wait for me, so maybe they would. Though, I suppose I can play around here for now. I won't really be needed or anything.

Don't say that...

[She doesn't know what his friends think or feel about him, but she can't imagine he'd be completely unmissed or unwanted. She suuuure knows how it feels to want to be needed, though.]

...Unless you're going to fix it here. Once you make some more friends, you'll definitely be needed!

I wonder about that, but thank you for your kindness.
