[001] Video + Action for Freya District

[pastahair]

[A timid woman appears on the feed and to some... she may look familiar, but there's something different about her.]

H-Hello? Everyone can hear me, right? [She gives the bracelet a curious look.] My name is Beatrice Castiglioni, I have only been here a few days and... Could someone explain to me these recent contests I have been seeing? Some of them looked quite fun.

[She puts on a nervous, but warm smile.] By the way, does anyone happen to know a man by the name of Kinzo Ushiromiya? If so, please let him know that I am here.

[She's got the completely wrong idea here.]

[highstakesgame]

Because he often makes a lively spectacle of himself when he cries!

Ah. So it does.

Shall I switch to video, then?

[pastahair]

You two must be very close friends. [If you can get away with teasing each other like that.]

Please. I prefer to be able to see the person when I am talking to him or her.

[highstakesgame]

Oh, you could certainly say that.

[and then the feed switches on, revealing... Beatrice's own face staring back at her]

How is this?

[pastahair]

[She gasps.]

Wh-What?

[Then she remembers what Claudia told her.]

Are you the "other Beatrice?" Because you really do look exactly like me.

[highstakesgame]

From my perspective, you are the "other" Beatrice.

But yes, I am the one she mentioned.

[pastahair]

I know people said we looked alike, but this is...

You are not related to the Castiglioni family in any way, are you?

[highstakesgame]

Yes and no.

Are you perhaps familiar with the concept of 'alternate realities'?
