[video | action open to Heimdall]

[whatagoodgirl]

I... I don't understand...

[The small, slender Japanese girl with the high ponytail and downtilted eyes might be familiar to some. She's standing in front of Heimdall House with a newcomer's letter in her hands, dressed in the same uniform as the first time she arrived, but it doesn't quite fit right anymore - she's gotten taller since she made it, started to fill out a little. At least in Asgard, which proves that she hasn't been completely reset.

The confusion on her face starts to contort into alarm as her words confirm that truth.]

Isn't - it over? I remember Freyr - when he - wasn't that the end? But now it's like none of it ever happened... the letter, and the maid, and everything looks just like the first time...

[And now edging into panic as she leans against one of the house's walls, wrapping her arms around her middle and shivering.]

What's going on?!

((ooc: and the thing is done ;D))

Nakama-chan! You came back!

[whatagoodgirl]

So... they didn't start over? So many people are still here...

[She looks puzzled for a moment, but the warmth of the greetings she's getting can't help but tug a smile out of her.]

It's good to see you, Orihime.

[holyfight]

Start over? Nuh uh, everyone stayed, as far as I know.

I'm glad to see you, too! I know a lot of people were worried about you!

[whatagoodgirl]

They were treating me like I was new, and with everything so grey again, I didn't know... people must've been really mad when it happened, huh? When they found out they couldn't go home?

[She blushes, not quite able to look into the feed.] The people here are really - really good, kind people.

[holyfight]

Uhn. It really felt like a setback. But I think we've recovered pretty well and everything!

I don't think anyone was upset they couldn't go home - actually, I didn't even know we were supposed to right now!

[whatagoodgirl]

Everyone in this city has always been so strong. I'm not surprised. [She smiles fondly, but it flickers and dims.] It's hard to know what to think about the gods now, though. Freyr gave everything to give us a chance, and it kept us from losing... maybe they didn't know that the war wouldn't end with that battle. I just - after so much lying and holding things back, it's hard to trust them like that.

[holyfight]

Uhn. It's hard to trust them, but I also think that they're trying their best, too. We just probably can't understand what they're doing yet. And I'm not going to keep defending everyone as best I can anyway.

[whatagoodgirl]

The people in the city are the most important. Us and the natives. As long as we keep trying to help one another, that's what matters.

[holyfight]

Yeah. Let's do our best to make sure everyone stays safe, okay?

[whatagoodgirl]

I promise.

[She looks very serious as she speaks, but manages a small smile afterward.]

How - how has everyone been? How have you been?

[holyfight]

I've been fine. But Kurosaki-kun passed out for ten days, so I had to stay with him until he woke back up. But he's better now, too!

[whatagoodgirl]

Oh my god! [Her eyes widen in shock.] Ten days? I'm glad it wasn't anything serious! You're a good friend to watch over him all that time.

[holyfight]

U-Uh huh! I had to eat Christmas dinner on his bed, but he was asleep, so he didn't mind!

He woke up remembering more about being home than when he went to sleep.

[whatagoodgirl]

Oh - I've heard of that. I hope it wasn't anything bad...?

[holyfight]

It doesn't seem to be. He seems to be alright so far. I'm not sure how well our memories match up, though.

[whatagoodgirl]

That must be so weird... I've never had anyone here that I knew from home, so I've never had to go through that.
