[Anyone who knows Haru might hear that there's an odd tone in her voice. It might not be different to the point where it causes concern, but she certainly doesn't sound as expressive as she normally does.

This is because, of course, she's been ordered to do this.]

I've read that there are multiple Moonblessed who have been feeling compelled to follow peoples' orders, yes?

Is anyone aware of a remedy? A fix to the condition? We should try to come up with a solution.

Thank you.

[Oh. How should she handle this?

In the end, she needs to obey what Hazuki asked her to do.] Ren, I'm safe. Don't worry about me.

I think we both know that saying 'don't worry about me' makes me think I should worry about you.

Are you being held somewhere?

[He can probably hear the way she winces.] I mean it, though. You don't have to worry about me being in danger, because I'm safe.

[There's another pause.] I wouldn't say I'm locked up or anything. I'm in a hotel room.

[That probably sounds a lot more ominous than it is.]

Sorry, I can't just stop worrying like that.

[It that does not sound like what Ren wishes to hear at all, but he sighs. A hotel room. They probably both know he would tear every single one until he found her if he needs to.]

That doesn't sound very safe to me. Whoever is looking out for you...I hope they are listening right now, because I will go out and find you if I need to.

I know you can't. I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you more than this. [And she sounds genuinely apologetic.]

But... you have to trust me, okay? I'm not in any danger.

As soon as this is over we can talk about it.
