[When the video switches on it's a bit crooked, but it's soon apparent that a child's face is staring into the watch.]

Is it on?

[Someone else off-camera must have given an affirmative answer, because now she smiles.]

Hello!

[Then she pauses. She wants to introduce herself, but that someone has just reminded her not to. When she continues speaking, the smile has faded and her voice sounds... well, like a young child who is a bit scared, but mostly confused, and also trying very hard to sound confident instead of either.]

Can anyone I know hear me?

They said I should ask because lots of people can see this, like on television! [Who 'they' is is also left unclear. But the idea of a video phone is apparently exciting, smartphones aren't exactly the norm in Inaba...] Um... So if you know me, then answer back with a video.

[Because text answers are apparently also bad. This list of rules is even longer than her Dad's.]

And don't worry, I'm okay. [This, she adds because she knows her family well enough to predict their reaction to this weird kind of message. Her Dad is probably going to yell either way, though.] ...Thank you for listening.

...Um, how do I turn it off?

Threaded | Flat

[...what.]

[...no seriously, what.]

[Philemon, you asshole, why the hell did you bring Nanako here? Igor, why did you let him? No, better yet, just Philemon, you asshole.]

[Yu tries, but he just cannot keep the surprise off his face.]

Nanako? When did you get here? Who's with you?

[Whoa whoa- now there's a face he never expected to see here!]

Nanako-chan? Is that you?? It's me, Yosuke! Where are you? Are you okay?? Does Yu know you're here??

[Sorry Nanako, he is going to bombard you with all of the questions.]

"What the fuck, they're kidnapping children now???" Oh god Shura that is not how you speak to a child, Jesus.

[Why the hell is there a kid here?

Shit.

Why would they need a kid? Are they that desperate? Or just fucking incompetent?

Bunch of bastards. They can take him and all the other idiots they want, but they should leave the little kids alone.]

The button on the bottom right. That's how you turn it off.

[Joining team Why Are They Kidnapping Kids Now...]

...Have you found people you know yet?

I'm glad you found some family here. I hope you are able to settle in all right.

[ When Minato first listened to her message, he was worried, but now, having seen who replied and seen that she did in fact find some people she knows is a relief. She reminds him a bit of Maiko, albeit a bit younger, and so of course he immediately is a bit worried about her. ]

Sorry, I don't know you... But I got a little worried that it looked like you were on your own. Good to know someone you know is around.

I'm Akihisa Yoshii, by the way. Nice to meet you!
