[Hey Vatheonites. Yomiel is sitting in his chair in his apartment, looking smug. His eyes are covered by his sunglasses, as always, and he rests his chin on one hand, smiling at the screen.]

So, another year come and gone, huh?  In about a week or so, actually, I'll have been here for a year myself. Time really flies, doesn't it? So, just reflecting back on the year, I have to say-

I can't die because technically, I'm already dead.

[...What. WHAT WAS THAT. The words had just come out of his mouth without any thought behind them. He pauses, looking surprised, wondering where that even came from.]

Um. I...I didn't say that. I didn't say that at all. I mean, I went mad for a few years because of what I am and I always feel alone because of it.

[NO. He did not just say that OUT LOUD. His mouth curls into a confused sneer, and his body tenses as he looks around like a caged animal. Was somebody...possessing him? No, he would know. He's silent for a little bit as he looks around in Ghost World, but there isn't any telltale sign of a soul anywhere. He's alone.]

Okay, this isn't funny. Somebody is making me say thing that aren't true, and- I REALLY LOVE CUTE AND FLUFFY CATS.

[With a growl, he jumps from his chair and throws the SFC against the wall in anger, turning it off. He was the manipulator, not this place. Nobody could get the upper hand on him. Not if they valued their life.]

Yeah. I managed to figure that out.

[A shrug. He's trying to save face after that whole debacle, really.]

Do you? I like cats, but I have no idea why it made me single out cute and fluffy ones.

[Yukari shrugs, too.]

I dunno. It's not a particularly embarrassing thing to admit, is it? I figured that'd be the whole point.

[There's a pause, as she thinks about it, with a scratch of her head. And then--]

But then again...well.

...

[...Everything else he'd said would be more than enough to make up for that, if it was true, huh? She stops herself there, though, looking away from the screen.

Pretending to think some more.]

[theothersissel]

Well, technically it kind of is. Because most people don't expect a guy like me to go ga-ga over kittens.

[A sigh.] I just hope this curse goes away soon....

[tsundyne]

Maybe it's a bit unexpected, but it shouldn't be a big deal...

[Seriously, who would judge him for liking something as adorable as fluffy cats?]

Either way, i-it should only be a week, I would think. Like usual.

[theothersissel]

Well, that's not too bad, but this curse making me reveal all my secrets? I'm not exactly behind that.

...Yeah. I know. That is why I await the end of the week like nothing else.

[tsundyne]

...Heh. I guess I'm lucky so far in that regard.

But--if it's any consolation, you're not exactly alone here.

[Others are being affected, too after all. She's sure others are already waiting for the end of the week. And he isn't the only one who's dead, either; she knows that much. But that isn't something that's really her business to talk about.

That's on Minato, and she's not about to announce that to the world. She hopes this curse won't make her, either.]
