[Public post, but addressed to one(1) Minato Arisato] | VIDEO (Backdated)

[Miki has only been here for day, and yesterday night's events have left her happier than she could have imagined. But...she suppose she owes someone and apology for her behavior the night before.

Maybe it's the lack of a good night's sleep and she'd not using the camera and post function on the watch clearly, or maybe simply because she's not that great with computers in the first place, but what was supposed to be a private post is unfortunately sent publicly. Regardless, it is a small video of Miki looking like she didn't get that much sleep and she's looking at the watch's camera like it's a small cursed object.]

Hey uh. Arisato. I mean Minato. M-Minato Arisato yeah that sounds better..

Look when you watch this? Just wanted to say I'm sorry 'bout yesterday. I didn't know about the different world things and I just thought you were the Minato from my world.

He was the leader of Strega. That's why I did the...I'm watching you sign. [She says, tihnking 'I still don't trust you that much anyway.']

So uh. I'll stop that. I'm sure you're a nice guy and not an idiot.

[She pouts, trying to think of what else to say and just shrugs.]

Have a good day.

WHAT?!

....HOW DO I DO THAT? :(

[...are you to computers what Fuuka is to cooking

but insert some brief written instructions on how to find the right options here.] ...Understand?

[> You feel as if you understand computers a little better. Your Knowledge increased!]

...I THINK I GET IT.

BUT THE 1ST POST ISN'T LETTING ME EDIT IT TO PRIVATE.

[> Unfortunately for you, posting in public is a lot like sending something in the web, and there is no undo function. That might be why they asked you if you were sure you wanted to send this message twice.]

I'm not sure you can. I've never needed to try it before, though...

Figures.

Tch.

I feel like such an idiot...

These thing happen... I'm sure he's just happy you're trying to explain things to him.

[That, or really confused and/or freaked out. But details.]

But... [and here it comes-]

To be honest, I don't understand how my brother could ever be in Strega.

Well when the him of my world and Minami were in the car accident, both of them survived. Aigis put Ryo--the aspect of Death in the both of them.

They took him off for testing...he was one of the four people who survived. Minami was put through different places until she arrived to Port Island. Neither knew the other had survived until later.

[The idea of two children surviving that night isn't a far-fetched one. If she could live in one world, and Minato in another, maybe there's a third world where they both lived.

But that isn't what Miki had typed. Minako doesn't even read anything beyond the first sentence of that text before replying because what?]

Minami? Who is Minami?

[Alright, this conversation would be better by video. Typing isn't cutting it at all, and the feed opens again.]

Well she looks like you, but she's younger? At least, I think she's younger compared to you because of the...

[She swooshes her cheeks for effect. Do you understand what she's trying to say?]

And then...

[She moves the watch and points to her sides]

And your hair color is not exactly the same either! Your voice is a bit lower and I think your nose is a bit smaller too...

Edited 2012-10-01 04:59 (UTC)

....So that's what you meant yesterday.

[She hadn't been calling her fat, she'd been calling the friend she thought she'd seen fat. ...This doesn't really make it any better, Miki.]

Well if she's not me, all of that makes sense. I'm 17 years old... but Minato and I never had a sister.

[Sister. That... sounds so strange to even consider. A sister who looked almost like her, but not quite. One who probably wasn't a junior. Would they still act the same? Have similar interests? Join the same clubs?]

...yeah I should apologize to you for that too. And...I know. I guess Minami never had an older sister in her world either...

[Despite the heavy subject, she's smiling by now. Memories of her best friends are a good way to cheer herself up.]

Minami and I are close the same age. I just had my birthday in January...well back at home, since it's September here. I'm 16! We're the youngest members of SEES.

[uh

wait what. Minako is slightly alarmed now.]

What happened to Ken-kun?

[OH GODS YEAH RIGHT SHE FORGOT THAT PART FROM THE OTHER WORLD.]

Ha ha...yeah uh...

Well...

He might have joined Strega where I come from...

...'Might' have?

[But really, what. She knows revenge is Ken's thing... and Strega was all about revenge too... but she's having a hard time imagining Ken sticking with Jin and Takaya and killing people.

...Or Minato, for that matter.]

...okay he was in Strega. Before you get too angry, he never killed anyone, nor was he allowed to come when they did hits. Minato assured me that, once.

[For some reason that seems important--WAIT why is she DEFENDING STREGA?!

...she really needs a coffee.]

...I'm not angry. It's not your fault, Miki-chan.

[she's just... frustrated. Confused. Worried.

Afraid for the brother she's never even met. The brother who technically isn't even hers, but it's hard to think of it that way.] ...And Minato?

W-well. They did with what they had. Apparently he killed only people that really deserved it, criminals that got away scoot free from the law...but still...ARGH! No! I should not be saying that.

[Even if they deserved it, it still didn't make it right...she'd learned all about that herself with Shinjiro's death...Takaya's death, even if it wasn't at her hands, had left her only with an empty feeling and not much else.]

He...

Tch.

Despite that, we all teamed up and...he's the one who...saved us.

[You have no idea how hard it is for her to say this. But she has a feeling Minako needs to hear it.]

[No, she agrees with Miki. Even if they deserved it, it didn't make it 'right.' Even with as angry and sad as she'd been, she hadn't brought herself to finish off Takaya, after all. She can't imagine her brother being any different... being a murderer. But his kind spirit, the need to help others she can already tell he has despite their short time together here... maybe that had been warped just enough to make him capable. Enough injustices can twist a person, and one accident can change an entire life.

...But this is too painful to keep considering. So she stops, instead focusing on Miki's words.]

...With the seal, you mean.

[That just slips out quietly, her mood too contemplative to realize that Miki may not even understand what that was. She'd only even mentioned the full story of what she'd done to Shinjiro while she was here, after all, and the events of their own Promised Day were probably just as chaotic. But then...]

...You said before that Death was with both of them. What happened to Minami?

[Huh...]

She was with us at older student's graduation. We weren't sure how come we knew each other at first, or why we wanted to listen in...but then when Mitsuru started her speech, we all remembered...

...we ran up and found Minato on the roof. Minami and him had talked about what they'd been doing after the fall. I think, he was glad to see all of us. Chidori, Jin and Ken were there too...

[Unfortunately for you, despite having bouts of stupidity, Miki is not stupid either.]

But what exactly do you mean by the seal?

Edited 2012-10-01 06:10 (UTC)

So she's all right.

[That is said with far more relief than Miki probably expected. Even though she'd only learned of Minami's existence three minutes ago, the fact that a family member of hers - even one that was never born, that she's never met - is alive and well somewhere, surrounded by friends who care about her... that's amazing. And she can imagine that the other Minato probably thought so too. She'd give anything to have allowed her own brother that same freedom... to take on the Seal herself and let him live.

...Wait.]

[this is an incredibly awkward time for this topic. But now that she's messed up she can't backtrack. Forge ahead, Minako...]

It's what was needed to stop Nyx. She's not destroyed, you know... Ryoji was right about that. What I - What your Minato must have done is use the power of the Universe... um, the energy from the user's friendships, and everyone's desire to live... to seal off Nyx from being touched by human thoughts again. That way, she'll never come back.

Edited 2012-10-01 06:26 (UTC)

[...... .-.-.- .-.-.- .-- . .-.. .-.. ... .... .. - .-.-.- ]

So wait...Nyx wasn't defeated? All of that and we just gave her a timeout...

[It's her turn to look depressed and she idly rubs the ring hanging on her necklace.]

So wait. You and Minato...you both...

[...You both sacrificed yourselves? Without a sister or a brother to save, they willingly extinguished their own lights for the sake of everyone else. The power of the Universe...she can't quite understand it well, but it's a final sacrifice worthy of any Sentai Show. For some reason she can't help but feel a few tears running down her cheeks and she looks at Minako with a bittersweet smile.]

Tch. I bet you just wanted to see my brother again, didn't you?

Edited 2012-10-01 07:31 (UTC)

[The ring is a bit too small in the video feed for Minako to become suspicious of just yet. But despite her appreciating the empathy Miki is showing now... the last statement just confuses her.]

Your brother? Nothing happened to Akihiko-senpai... He was just fine.

[Seriously, on top of the Strega business had something happened to Aki, too? She doesn't know how much more of this she can handle...]

[She frowns at that.]

Oh no, no I actually meant Shinji...

[Oh wait. That is...another point she should have brought up.]

O-oh...actually about that. Um...I guess you weren't the only one the universe decided to screw up in regards to your sibling. [She looks over to where Akihiko is sleeping, smiling before looking back at her, the smile fadeing quickly as she continues.] My brother, the other one...he died saving me from the orphanage. I'm...glad to know he lived in your world.

[...to be honest, as much as she'd dreaded it, when she actually says it it doesn't surprise her. Akihiko would do that. He'd sounded so regretful about what happened to his sister, it doesn't surprise her at all that in one of these butterfly-effect worlds that are appearing, he'd actually managed to do what he'd wanted.

...She wonders how he's feeling right now. But that's a question that will have to wait.]

He told me about you... Or well, Akihiko-senpai in my timeline did. The one you've met here is from Minato's. ...But you probably already know that. [What are their lives now, seriously.] Either way, he really loves you. And so does Shinjiro-senpai. ...But you know that already, too.

Not Locked because how do I do that also caps because how do I type with this.
