I want everyone who was in that mall to report in their status, and the status of anyone else they know who was in the mall with them.

I'll start. Issei Ryudo and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne both confirmed as healthy and home.

That was a little more extreme than the usual fare, was it not? I wonder what the occasion is.

[unknownrival]

I was killed in something like this, you know. A few years ago.

[He says it calmly.]

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

[well, that shut him up.]

Forgive me, I didn't realize...

[action]

[unknownrival]

Eh? It's all right. I'm here, flesh and blood. Aren't I?

[He lightly sets his hand on Diamruid's shoulder. Yep, solid hand.]

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

I just thought perhaps it would be a difficult subject for you.

[action]

[unknownrival]

I'm just... sorry I wasn't able to be more help, really.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

You need not apologize. I think something like that may have been what I needed, strange as it sounds.

[action]

[unknownrival]

You're feeling better, then?

I was on the roof. Almost got overwhelmed once or twice but I got out without serious injury.

[unknownrival]

Good to hear it. Is there anything you do need?

Miyafuji took one look at me and freaked out. She then healed all my wounds. So I'll be okay.

[unknownrival]

Good to know it. Get some rest if you can.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

...Just a little, I suppose.

[action]

[unknownrival]

That's something I'm thankful for. At least there's that.

[sunbloom]

Itsuki Myoudouin... injured but recovering. And admittedly quite drained.

I've seen Tsubomi Hanasaki this morning as well, apparently okay. I can't vouch for the rest of my team.

[unknownrival]

Thank you. That's a start, and hopefully the rest are fine as well.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

I'm sorry. I must be rather troublesome at times like this.

[action]

[unknownrival]

A certain amount of troublesome is to be expected - I know I have my own times where it's hard to deal with me.

[sunbloom]

[Her response is slow.]

Physically, sure. My arm will heal, and Tsubomi is exhausted and has minor wounds. Both will heal.

My concern is the mental scars. You may have seen that she gave her life to save me. Neither of us, nor the rest of my team if I'm right, will ever forget that sacrifice, and I'm worried something will break. I myself am terrified of when battle comes to us again, powers restored or not.

[unknownrival]

I don't know... I did the same thing in a virus very like this, once, but I didn't have to fight alongside Karen afterwards.

[audio]

[fightbymoonlight]

I am... alive and home. That's all that really matters right now.

[audio]

[unknownrival]

I agree. Please, take good care of yourself.

[sunbloom]

You also aren't in a relationship with her, which makes this even more of an emotional mess than it already is.

[audio]

[fightbymoonlight]

I will. My injuries will heal eventually, so I'm not too worried about them, except perhaps how I'm going to hide it from my mother.

I will confess that certain things that happened have left me a little shaken, but I'm sure that I'll get over it soon. [From how strained she sounds, it's clear that she's more than 'a little' shaken.]

[unknownrival]

The emotions will be less raw with time. I can say that much still applies, if only barely.
