✿ Chapter 004. [Audio/Video](Day 65)
[When the audio feed opens, you can hear the high pitched sound of some yapping, and then a hushing noise.]
Shhh... please be quiet for a moment...
[Hanako speaks softly, before returning her attention to the bracelet.]
Um... g-greetings again, everyone.
I suppose Laurent is... gone. [There's a gloomy tone to it.] I wish him the b-best and that he'll return s-safe and sound to his world.
...
[A pause.] There's... another particular matter I n-need to press. Laurent left me s-something. I guess he w-wanted me to take it, but he disappeared b-before he could tell me anything...
[And there you hear more yapping.] Ah- please not now! Um... well... hold on.
[Hanako switches the feed off. Some fiddling later, the feed opens again, this time set on video. You won't see Hanako's face, instead, the bracelet's camera is set towards the floor of her room, so you can only see her shoes, and...
And then there's an adorable corgi puppy dog sitting there, with its tongue out, tail wagging happily, and big curious eyes staring at you. It yaps a few more times before Hanako hushes it up again.]
I already checked... i-it's a female. I couldn't ask Laurent how o-old she is. Uhm... [Her feet shift awkwardly. The puppy still stares up as she speaks in the background] All I k-know about domestic pets I only have read in a b-book, but- I don't remember much and I have no experience whatsoever w-with animals. So I wondered if those o-of you who have a p-pet or know something about k-keeping a dog could... give me some advice.
Also... I w-wondered if you could... suggest me a name for her. I- I'm not good at these s-sort of things...
[Another pause. Hanako's growing anxious with keeping this a video.] I hope I wasn't a b-bother to you. Good... good day.
[Click! And the video ends.]

Sorry about your friend leaving, but she looks pretty cute there.
[Perma Audio]
I wish I have m-more experience with animals... I n-never owned one.

[aaaaaaaand let's go, trauma trigger!]
no subject
There's no answer from her for a while...]
no subject
[Puppy must need some attention.]
no subject
no subject
Then figures she just forgot. Time to go play a video game or something!]
no subject
ANYWAY she's gonna answer about... half a hour later.]
Uh... s-sorry... I- I had t-to take care of... something...
[Oh, she sounds like she's being crying...]
no subject
Yep.
Oh hi Hanako's back! ...Why does her voice sound kind of funny?]
Uh... you okay over there?
[Hm yes, this is a puzzle.]
no subject
I'm... okay...
[She doesn't sound okay at all.]
no subject
If you say so. Um, how's the pup doing?
no subject
no subject
[ah, and now we enter Awkward Smalltalkville, population: us.]
no subject
[All the awkward, all of it. Hanako still sounds a little shaken, but hey- shifting the topic kind of works.]
... Have you e-ever owned a d-dog?
no subject
Me? Nah. I wouldn't trust myself with the responsibility of taking care of a pet, and my parents are way too busy.
[Also they're alive. Just saying.]
no subject
Hm, I see.
...
I think I'm g-going to look for i-items for her now.
no subject
Have fun with her!
no subject
[And then she hangs up curtly. She's had enough bad feelings today.]
