[No greetings, no introductions... Fumi's just getting right down to business. It's not often she bothers broadcasting things over the network herself, after all. Leaning back in her office chair briefly, she folds her arms before addressing the feed.]

For those of you who were acquainted with her, Miyako Hotsuin is no longer in the city.

[Her voice is flat and her face its usual deadpan expression as she says this.]

As this leaves me as the only official member of the JP's branch office, I will be assuming control of the newly renamed JP's Hinoto-Ri Branch. It's been here long enough that continuing to call it the Nagoya branch seems a bit silly, and I'm relatively sure Miyako had been preparing for an official name change anyway.

[But wait, there's more.]

Additionally, following the departure of Kandori, Takeba, and Kirijo, and in view of the fact that I worked with each of them personally before the recent attack, I will also be taking over administration of the MAGI facility following the cleanup and reconstruction effort.

[No questions, no voting, she's just doing it, apparently.]

However, as there were three branches of the MAGI facility itself without even considering the resources required for the upkeep of the JP's location, I will be conducting interviews for the additional staff and personnel needed to keep things running smoothly. For my own part, I will be acting in Takeba's capacity as the new head of the MAGI Research Branch.

At minimum, I will also require colleagues to take over Kandori and Kirijo's work as the respective heads of the Weapon and Development Branches. Please contact me via secured network communication to apply for any of these positions or as support staff for either MAGI or JP's. You may contact me in the same fashion if you have any questions about what the positions will entail.

...That is all.

Miyako left...?

...I see. I'm sorry to hear that.

[And just when she felt like they may have been getting closer...]

It's to be expected in a place like this. People vanish just as easily as they appear in the first place.

I know. I just... wish I could have gotten to know her better while she was here.

Having gotten to know her to any degree whatsoever should be regarded as a rather monumental accomplishment.

...Huh? What do you mean?

It's not my place to divulge personal details about Miyako's life, but suffice it to say certain aspects of it did not lend themselves well to establishing close interpersonal relationships.

...

[She... never did seem to be as familiar with many traditional festivities despite her heritage. Aoi had always wondered, but...]

Then I hope... I was a good friend for her, during the time she was here.

[Normally, this is where most people would say something like 'I'm sure you were' or 'she definitely thought of you that way.' Fumi is not most people. Instead, her reaction is little more than a sterile and highly impersonal nod.]

Mm.

[And that's fine - Aoi had grown used to somewhat similar behavior from Miyako herself, after all.]

You said you needed help with staffing but... I don't think I'm the right kind of person to fill any of those positions, unfortunately. Is there any other help you might need?

I suppose you could assist with the reconstruction effort.

[She nods.]

I was already planning to do what I could there. Sorry I can't be of any more help.

It's not a problem. If I wasn't confident in getting the MAGI building back up and running, I wouldn't have taken up the task in the first place.

Then in that case...

Good luck. I hope it goes quickly for you.

Thank you. There's a lot to be done, but I think it will be worth it.
