Behind the girl appearing on the screen is the minimalist decor characteristic of the apartment for the newcomers to Hinoto-Ri. The girl herself is shirtless, covered in what look like black tattoos with green glowing borders. Her expression is neutral enough, but one can see in her golden eyes she's far from being happy.

"Okay. Now what?"

"Shura. Another being ripped from her universe to serve in this here goddamned mess. I'm guessing it's the same for you?"

"Though I wouldn't phrase it in quite the same manner, you're correct."

"You're not mad to be here? Honestly, I'm boiling inside."

"I was accomplishing something in my world! I was attacking the problem of the Great Will's dictatorship at the root, and I was so close to succeeding, but then I get pulled here by this wiseass in a butterfly mask to be used in some stupid rescue mission like I was free to be hired and removed from my world and the ones I swore to protect! It's a waste of my precious time and theirs!"

Shura nods too when he agrees. "Yeah, see? I bet you had goals and a purpose at home too. I heard we can go back, but I don't know how. The elders didn't tell us, of course, and I'm not really good at inter-universe travel. Any ideas?"

[voice]

[grancenturio]

"Sadly none." A sigh. "It is a shame - I was at an important step of my plans back home when this interrupted."

"See? They got no consideration whatsoever for us, these assholes." She sighed. "Anyway, thanks. I'll let you know if I find anything."

[voice]

[grancenturio]

"Likewise - well met, Shura."

Nessiah clicks off his side of the conversation without further farewell.
