[video - canon update - episode 23 2/2]

[symbolofhappiness]

About a day has passed since the previous video involving Setsuna, but it looks like no time has passed at all in the world itself. It resumes right where the previous one left of, with Cure Peach shaking Eas' body.

But this time the video continues. The plushie looking thing that only appeared in the background of the last video, takes the center stage this time. The crest on her forehead has started to glow. She floats up into the air, calls out and the crest glows even brighter.

A red light swiftly flies into the forest, straight into Eas. The light grows even brighter, to the point of engulfing the whole video.

The light stays like that for a little while. Eventually, though, it does fade. At the same time, the sun is finally breaking through the clouds.

Eas has vanished. Where her body lay before, there now stands a girl dressed in red. She stares at herself, both confused and amazed.

"I'm... a Pretty Cure?" She looks up. "Cure Passion!"

"Setsuna is the fourth...?"

"The fourth Precure!"

Cure Peach smiles widely. "Cure Passion!"

The video cuts off again, this time finished for real.

[OOC note: Red is Setsuna, pink is Love/Cure Peach, blue is Miki and yellow is Inori.

Setsuna will be responding this time, although it will icly be several hours later.]

Probably. Love is like that. She even came to look for me after she knew I was her enemy. She said she... still considered me her friend, even after I told her everything was a lie.

Not everyone is that self-aware. But it's a good quality to have. [Still smiling. She hasn't actually realized that she's doing it yet.]

[juicy_egotist]

Good friends are like that. I'm certain she will be a good influence on you.

I am an egotist after all. [he's just enjoying that smile honestly.]

1/2

[symbolofhappiness]

Are they? I've never really... I mean... Back in Labyrinth, people don't really have friends.

...yes, that's true. [She actually lets out a giggle at that.]

2/2

[symbolofhappiness]

[Her eyes widen in surprise and she stops.]

Ah... [Was that really her just now?]

Re: 2/2

[juicy_egotist]

You have a nice laugh. You should laugh more often.

[symbolofhappiness]

Oh, well um... I guess I could try to... [She's getting a little self-conscious. Her smile's gone now, but she'll get there again.]

[juicy_egotist]

Indeed. You do not force laughter though. You let it run freely.

[symbolofhappiness]

I see... I'll try to keep that in mind. Maybe I'll get the hang of it eventually.

[juicy_egotist]

Good then. It should come easier later on.

[symbolofhappiness]

I hope so. I'm used to acting a part when I talk to people, so acting like myself is a little weird. [She's not sure she even knows what her real self is like.]

[juicy_egotist]

I'm sure things will turn out well for you. Being natural is part of finding your own voice.

[symbolofhappiness]

I see. I guess I'll just have to wait and see, then.

I'm... glad I can keep talking to everyone like this. I kind of figured that last post would be the last time I'd get the chance. I didn't expect to still be around now.

[juicy_egotist]

Second chances aren't lightly given. Be glad for it.

[symbolofhappiness]

I'm surprised anyone would even give a second chance to someone who pretty much willingly walked straight to her death. [Which she... hasn't actually mentioned to anyone that she did yet until just now.]

[juicy_egotist]

They say God is weird like that. [Considering they haven't even MET Enter-God yet...]

[symbolofhappiness]

I guess so. Although this was more Chiffon's work than God's, from what I saw in the video. She really is a mystery.

...It's the second time she's saved me now.

[juicy_egotist]

Chiffon does what she wants?

[symbolofhappiness]

Hm... That's a good way to say it, I guess, yeah. She's very unpredictable.

Sometimes I wonder if she's smarter than she lets on. I think she had me figured out a long time ago.

[juicy_egotist]

Little ones tend to do that. They know what's going on.

[symbolofhappiness]

Huh, is that so? I wouldn't really know, I don't usually talk to children. [The last time she got near a kid, she turned his dog into a monster and slapped him away, so... yeaaaah.] I didn't really talk to anyone much before the community, though.

[juicy_egotist]

Maybe it is time to start. [At least J isn't reaching for another can anymore.]

[symbolofhappiness]

[Good boy, J.]

Maybe, I guess. Assuming anyone actually wants to talk to someone like me.

[juicy_egotist]

I'm sure there will be. It will be hard to prevent such a thing.

[symbolofhappiness]

Do you really think so? I mean... Honestly, after everything that I did, I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to talk to me. I'm not sure if I should even try.

[juicy_egotist]

I'm sure you'll find what you need to do soon. There is something that people need and it is each other.
