_{[Clearly the SFCs have horrid timing, because this time a feed starts up when it gets knocked onto the floor. After a brief bout of static, it focuses on Mao spinning around in a simple computer chair with both hands clamped over a pair of headphones, holding them to his ears. To anyone who remembers him from his first appearance, he definitely looks happier this time!]}

I take back every terrible thing I said about this city~! Oh, if only you could see this--we could live here forever and ever and nobody could ever tear us apart again, I'd make sure of it! How I missed hearing your voice, C.C.! I was so angry at first because they took everything away from me, but they gave it back! It's only missing you now... But you'll come someday, I just know it! I promise, I'll wait for however long it takes!

_{[Slowly, the chair comes to a stop and Mao regards the fallen SFC with mild surprise. Did he bump into the desk a little too hard? Whoops! Time to get off that chair and pick the poor thing up.]}

Ah! I had no idea this turned itself on. But since I have your attention, I have a teensy question for you all! Where could I find a normal doctor? You see, the natives are far too noisy for my tastes, and I'm a little picky~

[Sorry, but that's a gift that he'd just have to refuse. ~~By burning it~~ Politely. He ~~hates~~ appreciates the thought, though.

He's actually amused; he wonders how long it'll take for Mao to figure it out. Though as soon as he figures it out, well...it may not be so much fun. Not only will the game be over, but he's not quite sure how Mao would react to Lelouch being there.]

I was being hypothetical, of course. You may say "never say never" but you can't say that she will appear here either.

[Talk about a one track mind...]

_{[Isn't it bad enough that C.C. popped one in his neck? No wonder why he never has any friends.

Hmm... This was getting interesting--the only drawback is he couldn't pick out any voices that could match the words popping up on the SFC with his geass. If he wanted to figure this out, he had to either make a wild guess out of a few hundred people or move to another part of the city.]}

And you can't say she wont.

_{[Okay, the decision has been made. Time to venture further into town.]}

[Hey man, you kind of deserve it. Lelouch has no mercy for people who tried to kill his sister, okay.

You'll never find him. C: or...you probably will, eventually.]

I suppose I can't. What I'm trying to say is banking your hopes on one person is a little obsessive, don't you think?

_{[Yeah well that's what happens when you try to steal a crazy man's woman. Totally started it.

He can also just play the waiting game when he gets bored of picking through everyone's thoughts. He's pretty good at that.]}

You call it obsessive, I call it loyalty.

[Hey now, he had no idea C.C. gave a crazy like you Geass. Not that he would've probably changed a whole lot (power was power), except maybe attempted to dispose of Mao earlier.

True enough. Lelouch will probably be found, eventually, but he'll try his best to make sure that it's on his own terms.]

That's an extreme loyalty, then.

_{[Hey, hey! He was an orphan! It's not his fault that geass drove him crazy! Hearing the thoughts of bad people can do things to a kid!

Just be glad he doesn't have the chainsaw here. Yet.]}

What else can I do? She is the only person who ever cared for me.

_{[Because it's totally a justified reason for threatening to chop her up to cram her in a plane and fly to Australia.]}

[Yeah, well...still doesn't take away the fact that he's crazy.

Oh no the chainsaw...Lelouch may need to take running lessons. Also there are so many things he could say to that statement, but all of them would probably give him away.]

Is that so?

[And then we get back to the "crazy" argument.]

_{[Not even a little?

Work on that Cardio, Lulu. Even a walking twig like Mao could probably catch you even with this limp.]}

You could say she saved my life, but that's a story I'm not sure I'm comfortable with telling a stranger~

_[Half-sane!]

[Nah, not really. People don't get forgiven from attempting to hurt Nunnally very easily at all.

He's working on it...or not.]

How unfortunate. I was hoping for a riveting story.

[He's very sarcastic, but it doesn't translate as well into text.]

_{[Well, he'll just have to work on that. Somehow.

Tsk tsk! We'll have to start training those lungs, then.]}

Because the tragic story of an orphan is just so exciting.

_{[Aww yeah rubber glue.]}

[Good luck.

Too bad Sayoko isn't here to run for him...]

To some, it may be. Like your precious C.C., for instance.

_{[Nunnally could probably outrun you, Lulu.]}

She already knows the story.

[Probably, yeah.]

I see. Then I suppose you don't keep much from her, then?

_{[It's a sad day in Area 11 when that happens.]}

Oh, no, no! Of course not! I don't really like keeping secrets from her unless it's absolutely necessary or if it's a surprise.
