It seems like it's that time where people are arriving to Vatheon. To those who have arrived. I would like to-

[Suddenly, there was a loud burp coming from her end]

...Um excuse me, I was about to s- [And yet another one. However, this was it was longer than the previous one. She closed to her mouth for a couple of seconds and so far so good.]

...I-I think I might need to welcome those to Vatheon a little bit la- [BURRRRPP- and she closes the feed]

Started talking about you?

[Oh. This curse thing going around.]

Well, that's a strange thing to talk about, isn't it? What, does someone have a grudge against you?

I don't think so?

[...]

At least, not that I'm aware of. But if someone does, I'll have to talk to them about this.

[And not let Walter punch things]

Mm, maybe later on once you've started talking normally, don't you think?

So far, nothing has happened yet...but it will come back. I know it will.

[What's this? Shirley is feeling annoyed for the first time here in Vatheon?]

What about you? Has anything strange occurred to you so far? It seems like it hasn't.

[It's kind of adorable.]

Nothing yet.

[... It's just a good thing he's not on video right now. Or that his motherly instincts have kicked in yet.]

But it could just be a matter of time before that changes, y'know?

Who knows, maybe it might be something you'll find embarrassing! [Like now /sob]

You'll just have to wait until it happens!

Nah, I'm a big boy. I can handle whatever this place throws at me.

[Overconfidence alert.]

Oh really?

Can you ha-[buurrrrrrrppppp]

...Can you handle anything?

[S-sputter]

Of course. Not convinced?

[orz]

I'm afraid not, you're going to have to show me how!

I can't show you how I can handle everything right now, of course. That'd just take too long, sweetheart.

Then how about you could explain it to me?

Haha, I don't mind listening what you can do.

[Heh. This girl.]

Let's see. I can sit through just about any meeting without falling asleep, balance myself on top of a pointy roof without falling, eat six ice cream bars in the span of about fifteen minutes, stand around in a burning fire without getting hurt... [Think think]

And laugh at my own death.

O-Oh...

I-I'm sorry, I didn't know about that. [Pause] But it sounds like you might have found some peace when you were if you were able to laugh like that.

It's not like you caused it or nothing. [You can practically hear the shrug in his voice.] But I'd call it resignation instead of peace.

[He's never known true peace.]

Why do you say that?

While I can't say that Vatheon is peaceful, at least...it can be.

Sometimes. Once you look past the murders and the curses, of course.

[S-sorry. Axel thinks too practically.]

[Shirley is idealistic as hell so...]

Of course. But with the friends you gained here, doesn't it make the murders and curses a manageable? At least you're not suffering alone...

[O-oh dear.]

I'm not so sure I'd want them to suffer along with me. ... But I guess the thought might be comforting to some.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that.

I just...wanted to let you know that you're not alone, that's all.
