[It seemed like a normal video post as the screen pans over the familiar landscape of Yokohama's harbor town. And suddenly, the world goes dark. Incredibly dark. And then this happens.]

Fusion: My name is Fusion! I shall destroy all and dye the world in darkness!

[And with that, Fusion unleashed a powerful flame attack which was suddenly blocked by a shimmering wall of energy.]

Person 1: Were we saved?

Person 2: What happened?

Person 3: Hey, there's something on top of the Ferris wheel!

[Yes indeed. A certain several someones, very familiar to many people. The community really is good at getting the angles of this shot as more people spoke in surprise about what they were seeing.]

Person 4: There's someone on top of the car. There are a lot. There are 5... 10... a lot!

Person 5: They're girls!

Person 4: Could they be...

[And then an elderly voice cuts in.]

Elderly Man: That's it. It has to be. When the world is dyed with darkness... they are said to surely appear. They are the Legendary Warriors!

[And at the prompting of a squad of familiar mascots, everyone started cheering loudly!]

[Across town though, there's someone who is unfamiliar with the situation at hand, as a young girl is moving the last of her things into her room. She sighs a little, shaking her head.]

I hate this place...

Mm! You might even enjoy it! I certainly have been. I didn't really have a lot of friends, before I came on here... I've learned a lot about who I am and who I want to be. I've made a few very close friends, too. [Oh hey, that blush is back again...]

Some of us do things our own way, so we have a bit of a tendency to push the envelope to get what we want. [She raises her hand, which still has a red string tied to it.] Case in point, I... kinda-sorta confessed to my best friend on a whim yesterday because it seemed like a good idea at the time and I'm glad it worked but I was so scared she'd turn me down and gaaaah.

O-oh. [Oh. What do you say to that other than...] I hope he's a nice guy. It sounds like your friend re...

wait... She?

[Lesbians. Oh my god. She... whoa...]

It's a little bit of a special case, but... honestly, if you love someone, does gender really matter? I'm drawn to a person for who they are. And I'm happy with the person I found. More than happy.

Sorry, that's kind of what I meant by "absurd standards" - just because something doesn't make sense or isn't accepted doesn't mean we won't do it. It just takes a little courage.

If you say so. [Still a little confused on how this works, but give her time. She's not as 'emotionally mature' as the others are.] That's actually sweet actually. I'd like to meet her some day...

And that's fine, I just, didn't expect someone my age already in a relationship with someone.

... you're the second person to say that it takes just a little courage.

It probably won't be long; she's on the community, too. [Probably better not to mention she's also spent a fair amount of time right next to her.] You'll like her, I think. You remind me of her, a little.

Well... it's true. My relationships, my hobbies... My desires have been right in front of me, for a long time. I just needed to reach out and take them. Once I took that first step... [She shrugs.] I started to change, for the better.

Ah, well that's good. I'm sure we'd get along then.

[Ayumi nodded, tapping her chin thoughtfully.] I guess that's true. I've been torn from my comfort zone, but I suppose a little courage in making friends would do me good. Right?

I think so. We'll find out soon enough.

Yes. Being able to take that first step is important! And we'll be behind you, if you need us. [Itsuki smiles.] Well, I will, at least. You're honest about yourself, and I like that.

Mmm I guess we will at that.

[She blushed deeply. Truthfully, this was the most open Ayumi has been in ages. She was just finding it easier to talk to people through a screen.]

I guess you have a point. There's some things I'm still uncertain of to be honest.

It's okay to be uncertain. I'm scared out of my mind, some days. But you just have to push through it and believe in yourself.

Mmm, I guess you're right. It's easier to be uncertain sometimes I guess.

[Push through? Well she could do that.]
