[Hey.

Hey, people that just had a nice trip to the other side.

You're going to get a text]

CEO: Everyone who met with Exael, meet in the gardens outside the hotel now.

[ Might be lingering on outskirts, not remotely trying to draw attention to himself, as his tail lashes ]

[Will eventually approach him]

Okami?

[ His gaze flits to him. None of what anyone has discussed has made any sense. And they've all spoken about it like it should have some greater significance. Is his home that different from places outside of it? ]

Good evening.

Looks like the meeting didn't go as planned. Apparently Exael decided that it was 1-on-1 meetings only.

Ah, we probably should have expected her to pull something like that.

Did you make it to her apartment?

Unfortunately not. It appears I missed out on quite the spectacle.

Did you make it to the other Tokyo?

The one with the so-called audience and security, yes.

Did you run into security?

We had a bit of an encounter after I tried to do something about the audience.

[ Not one of his finest moments. ]

[BUT WHY Nine-Nine he expected that from. But Okami?]

. . .What did you do?

[ That's because you missed where Okami lunged at C mid-date. ]

I merely tried to move them away from the window. Apparently, the security personnel took unkindly to the gesture.

[Sighs]

Are you going to piecemeal me the whole story, or are you going to tell me what happened?

From start to finish -- what happened?

Not much honestly. I got her message, found the subway station and train filled with shadowy and intangible figures, ended up in the other Tokyo and was waylaid by the sky. The stars were moving in dizzying patterns. When I recovered, I heard a television and went to investigate. That is where I found the audience. Watching our games in one of the floors of high-rise. So I sought to move them. Only this time instead of being merely intangible, this group was a manifestation of pure pain. There were voices too. I can't remember them as well but I might be able to use Echo to recall it. I am fairly certain they were former idols.

Try using Echo. You're the only one who had a significant encounter with the audience.

[ Going to tap his phone and give this a shot though it may be a bit more choppy than usual since he was kinda REALLY FUCKING OUT OF IT at the time. So the voices themselves won't be as distinct from his own but he will sound slightly... not himself either. ]

We didn't deserve it
She was better than any of these
They've got it so good
At least you have a choice!
If I have to suffer, why should you get any better!
He would never betray us
I hope this time, they make it through. Even if we can't be saved, someone should . . .
Fuck you, I'll laugh as much as I want!
There has to be enough that will do the right thing, this time! I'm cheering you on!
I'm tired. I'm just so tired.
They break so easy!
If we couldn't why should they?

[I---

No.

No this is not okay.

Really really not okay.]

[ Watching that reaction carefully. ]

... it was hard to make out much aside from the pain. But there were other sensations mixed up in everything. A lot of hate and regret. But also some oddly positives ones. Even hope.

[Wait. Just wait a second. He's processing this]

Does that mean you can't recall what they were saying?

All I could recall is what Echo just provided.

[ He was just kind of drowning in pain and every other emotion possible. The whole thing is a massive agonizing blur that he kind of hates trying to remember. But will do it for the sake of their goal. ]

And then Security got a hold of you?

[ Sharp tail flick ]

Ah. I managed to fight them off long enough for Exael to find me. Most of what we discussed were vaguer versions of things already mentioned. One of the few exceptions is that she mentioned the phones have GPS built into them so we can easily be found, that we are under an assessment and that her round did not involve units, they were judged individually.

Any injuries? Do you need to see someone on SensitIV?

[ Shakes his head ]

I was not physically hurt.
