...

My name is Kasane Teto. Some of you may know me already, and even still, some of you may know me in a not-so-nice way. That's why I'm here.

For a long time, I was under the influence of a demon seal; wrath. Originally, the decision was both one I intentionally made, but also a life-or-death matter. I was damaged beyond repair, and Daemon came to me and offered to repair me, if I were to accept his help.

I won't deny that while it was a matter of being able to live, I also wanted the power he had to offer me. I was very ambitious, and wanted far more than I already had. I realize now it was stupid of me, and that there are better ways of being able to obtain what I want.

I only realized that I didn't want the power the seal gave to me shortly before I obtained the second level of it. I was forced to fight against my sister, and in the midst of that battle, I became enraged, and accepted the power offered to me once again of my own volition.

I recently became free of the seal, but in the process, someone very dear to a lot of people was "sacrificed". He's a friend of mine, as well, and I am very glad that he, too, is now back to normal.

...

You all ... probably didn't want to hear my life story. I'm sorry. But the point here is that I want to apologize for everything I've done, both before and while I was under the influence of the seal. I feel awful for ... everything.

If I hadn't taken the power to begin with ... I might not be here right now. Maybe that would have been for the better, with everything that happened as a result of it ...

Once again, I'm very sorry. I know sorry isn't something that a lot of people can accept, but I promise, I will do whatever I can to make up for what I did.

[ THIS PART NOW LOCKED FROM HAKU ]

...

Also, one of my cousins has been missing since all of us have come out of data freeze. If anybody sees or hears from Hatsune Miku, please inform me, or anybody else in our family. We make ourselves pretty obvious, so it shouldn't be hard to contact one of us ... if there is anything you take away from this, at least let it be this. There are people who really need to know that she is safe.

[ OKAY THE REST OF THIS IS UNLOCKED AGAIN. ]



Thank you in advance for listening, if you listened at all.

Oh for the love of--

Let's... just not let Haku see this, okay? She's got enough on her plate right now. I'll grab the CSIs and see if we can find Miku before some hostile does.

[a break between texts, the next one about five minutes later]

I'm glad you're back with us, Teto-chan...

rjngkrngkrngkn T-Teto-chan didn't even think to lock this from her! Gah, what if she's already seen it?!

I'll lock it really quickly just in case she hasn't! Haku-san doesn't need to panic over this!

[ yes, Haku, you've earned major points in Teto's book. she actually cares about you now. c: still kinda indifferent on Miku, but eh, she's still family and still missing, and she knows just how much the family would freak if she isn't found. hence, why she posted this. she really is trying to do the right thing. ]

... Teto-chan is ... glad to be back, too, Rii-chan. I'm so, so sorry ... for everything. I'm surprised you would still want to be around me ...

... I think Giza left. I haven't seen Giza at all since I came back. I can't even seem to contact Giza over the D-Comm.

text; locked;

[trapsound]

It should be okay. I just checked on her and she's currently face down on her office desk asleep. I'm sure her husband will be dragging her to bed soon enough.

Unfortunately Miku will -probably- blather on about how long she was gone once she's back and blow our cover to hell, but I'll take little victories where I can.

... I did a lot of stupid things to try to get you back, too, Teto-chan. You're my sister until the end. That hasn't changed.

The difference between me and that idiot Honne is that I realized rather quickly how many people I would be harming if I kept going the way I was, our family included.

... there's a chance Giza is gone for good, unfortunately. Angel also abandoned me, however when the world reset I was given a strange Digivice that seems to be different what other people got. I'm not sure what it means yet, but it seems to have functions that bypass the need for a partner.

[doublesound]

Maybe we can tell Hatsune to keep it under wraps when we find her? The girl's just thick-skulled enough to get herself into real trouble, but she's also just lucky enough not to. So, who knows. Maybe we'll find her completely safe somewhere and not in any real danger, just too much of a derp to find her way out of wherever she is.

... I still love Dell-kun, though, even though I don't like what he did to get me back. I sent him a message, told him not to come back to the Hyperion ... I still want to protect him, even though I know I shouldn't.

I'm really sad, aren't I? Protecting someone who probably should be arrested ...

Digivice ..? Can I see it? My D-Comm changed, and the other Digivice I have still seems to insist I have a partner. Giza can't be contacted, though. He won't answer.

text; locked;

[trapsound]

We can certainly try. And I really hope she's not in any trouble.

It's not sad. No one can tell you not to feel something, Teto-chan. I'm angry with him, too, but I don't want to see him arrested. And really? I don't think Haku does either. She didn't even bother to lock that post away from Dell. In some way I think that was a warning to him...

I had the same problem with Angel.

If you come by the apartment before I leave for work I can show you.

text; locked;

[doublesound]

I think somewhere, very deep down, I'm hoping she's not in any trouble either.

Mn ... Haku-san is a good sister. I hope Dell-kun realizes what he's losing and shapes up, really ... I think he can do it, if he really tries. I'm working at reforming myself, too, after all ...

Sure, I'll be there.

... ah, could I ... come to work with you? I want to see what my Rii-chan has been doing, if that's okay.

text; locked;

[trapsound]

That's a step in the right direction, oneechan.

He can, but Haku's forgiveness is going to be very difficult to win back. Yagami-san was the one directly affected by Honne's actions, but in the end it was Haku's heart that was broken by knowing her brother could even do such a thing. That will take time and a force greater than all of us to mend. And for that, I feel sorry for -him-, for losing the love of some one who continued to believe in him even when he didn't believe in himself.



I would love for you to come see the club. I think you'll like it a lot.

text; locked;

[doublesound]

Mn, Taichi-kun ... he didn't deserve any of that ...

I still want to believe in Dell-kun. I know he loves Haku-san and I both enough that he will do whatever it takes to make sure he can make a change for the better.

... I just hope my belief in him isn't taken for granted. If it were ... I don't know how I would handle it.

I'll come with you to the club, then. Maybe I can meet Tei-chan, too! I haven't met Tei-chan yet.

text; locked;

[trapsound]

No, he didn't, but it happened and we can't take that back now.

I really hope you're right about Honne, though. We can all see how much this is breaking Haku's heart...


Oh, that's right, you haven't. I'm sure she'd love to meet you.

text; locked;

[doublesound]

I'd like to meet Tei-chan, too!

[trapsound]

I'll meet you at the front then.

[doublesound]

I'll be there!

Locked to Teto

[sonicheart]

... Miku's been gone?

Lemme make sure I have the right girl. Greenish-Teal hair, normally wears in two long pigtails? Bright attitude, full-soul gynoid?

That's... Worrisome...

Locked to Teto

[doublesound]

That's her. We're trying to keep it from Haku-san, since she's got enough to worry about without worrying about this, so please keep a look out for Hatsune, but don't let Haku-san know?

Re: Locked to Teto

[sonicheart]

... I'll do what I can.

Thanks for letting us know.

Locked to Teto

[doublesound]

You're welcome.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... I listened.

And... I understand. My story's pretty much the same at its core, after all...

[doublesound]

Thank you ...

[have_hat_will_travel]

It... It's kinda hope-bringing, to see others succeed in turning from the darkness.

[doublesound]

I wish I could feel that I did something good ...

[have_hat_will_travel]

... I know how that is. And... I think you can do good.

You've got a soul. You've got a will. You can turn that into a way to do good... In whatever fashion you choose.

[doublesound]

Thank you. I think I really needed to hear that.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Good luck.

[icecreaming]

... I've been looking for Miku ever since we all unfroze, but... thank you for telling me regardless, Kasane-san.

[doublesound]

You're welcome. Let's not let Haku-san know about this, though, okay? Rii-chan brought up to me that she's been through a lot more than a lot of us lately, and she doesn't need another thing to worry about.

Re: locked;

[icecreaming]

... I understand.

[doublesound]

Hey Teto...

[locked; audio]

[doublesound]

... Taichi-kun.

Re: [locked; audio]

[crestofcourage]

... are you... are you coping well?

[locked; audio]

[doublesound]

I ... guess so. I have a lot of help and support, though. I don't think I deserve it, but I'm thankful for it.

How about you?

Re: [locked; audio]

[crestofcourage]

... I'm in the same boat, really..

[locked; audio]

[doublesound]

... I wanted to tell you especially that I'm really sorry. I know I couldn't have done anything to stop Dell-kun, but ... what he did was unforgivable.

I understand why he did it ... but I could never approve of it. So, I'm sorry. I know it can never make up for what happened, but ...

If there's anything I can do to help you, please, let me know. I feel like I've caused a lot of problems for you.

Re: [locked; audio]

[crestofcourage]

... if you want to help me, show me you can get past what Daemon did to us, okay?

[locked; audio]

[doublesound]

... okay. I will.

[flameless_twin]

Hatsune-san is missing? I will assist you anyway I can. My name is Okumura Yukio. I am a friend of Onizuka-san and Hatsune-san.

[text - Locked to Teto]

[doublesound]

Ah? Thanks. We're trying not to let Haku-san know about this, since we all know she would blow a gasket. She's already got a lot to deal with, so ...

If you find out anything, let me know?

Re: [text - Locked to Teto]

[flameless_twin]

I understand. I will let you know should I find anything.

[text - Locked to Teto]

[doublesound]

thank you very much, Okumura-san.

[onisensei]

...do you think Miku's still data frozen?

text;

[doublesound]

It's possible. She could very well be lost, or without her communicator, too.

All any of us really know is that we don't know where she is, or if she's doing okay.

... Onizuka-san? Could we not tell Haku-san about this? She's already got a lot on her plate with the whole situation with Dell-kun.

Re: text;

[onisensei]

You're asking alot. Haku and I have a relationship based on trust and respect and desperately needing some kind of stability And considering the crap you've been pulling lately she does kind of have a right to know...

text;

[doublesound]

You know how much she would freak out if she knew Hatsune was missing.

Though I figure she'll find out sooner or later. I just thought it would be a good idea not to pile so much stress on her at once, not when she's already so stressed out.

Re: text;

[onisensei]

Alright, but only because you're probably right about her finding out really soon.

You're on notice though.

[doublesound]

I expected as much. Thank you, Onizuka-san.
