[Video| 1st note]

[teacuptarget]

[The image is very staged, as if the teenager had rehearsed and settled himself carefully. He's sitting down, with a notebook on his lap, and he smiles at the screen with his best friendly look. He's dressed very neatly, a sweater vest with a tie visible in the picture. A very plain metal bracelet hangs on his wrist, opposite the one with the communicator bracelet on it.]

Excuse me. This is a little awkward, but I'm afraid I'm in a bit of a strange situation.

[He holds his pen above his notebook, as if he might be about to doodle to help himself think.]

I've heard that I've been here before? I don't remember, so I want to talk to anyone who has had a similar situation, or those who might have known me before. For those of you who don't, my name is Gau, I live at Sigyn House, and I would love to hear anything useful you can tell me about people coming and going this way here.

[He clears his throat, unsure how to end the video, and finally settles for a small bow toward the screen, which if anything looks awkward.]

[Gau nods.]

I don't mind that so much. I like exploring and collecting information. But I feel kind of bad for my friends. My friends from before, I mean. They seem sad about it.

But at least you're here now, right?

And you can be friends with them again.

Re: video;

[teacuptarget]

I'm certainly trying anyway. I'm really lucky that they seem to want to try that as well.

It the least they can do. After, they're your friends.

Or were. Will be?

Re: video;

[teacuptarget]

Were, will be I hope, yes.

[He smiles sheepishly.]

I suppose it's silly to feel guilty.

[teleology]

[ a nod. ]

It wasn't your fault. It's not like you wanted to forget them. [ pause. ] Probably.

[teacuptarget]

I said it was silly. But emotions often are.

[teleology]

Maybe you can find some way to make it up to them.

[teacuptarget]

That's a good idea! I'll have to find out what they like again so I can do that.

[He's suddenly very cheerful.]

Thank you!

[teleology]

Any time.

I'm Minato.

[teacuptarget]

It's very nice to meet you, Minato. Maybe we can become friends as well.

[teleology]

Sure. Maybe we were friends before, and we both just forgot.

[teacuptarget]

Maybe so.

I'll see you around!
