First Trial ❀ Video

"Please allow me to guide you to the mansion..."

Shannon turned her back to the family and led the way up to the mansion while hiding her saddened face. He did not come again this year either... She clung onto the hope that he would, but just as her hopes were dashed again, there was news. Kyrie had talked to him and the bad taste between father and son were changing ever so slightly to the best.

The girl was relieved. Surely there will come a day when he will come back to the island. He promised her that he would. It was then she decided that her resolve won't waver anymore even if for these past three years she had felt saddened and resentful, but... it was something she needed.

It must have been a sign from God that he must be rooting for her.

She closed her eyes and prayed in her heart for God to give her a gift to show that her three years of waiting was not in vain. Though as she wished this, her seemingly predetermined fate was altered and given a new path--one that did not lead toward the tragedy of 1986.

The maid opened her eyes her prayer, but found herself not in the correct position. She was sprawled out in the ground instead of standing like a few moments ago. It was then she sat up and glanced around in confused state.

Where was the mansion? The beach? The sound of the seagulls had gone deaf to her ears.

By her right arm was a small device. It was something she had never laid eyes upon. She decided to inspect it even if it was dangerous. Perhaps it was a way to return back to Rokkenjima or at least shed some light on these new circumstances.

_{[ The video feed slowly starts up as the girl brushes the dirt off her uniform. It was better than sitting around and she had a better view from where she sat. Being satisfied with her cleaning, she turned towards her new discovery. She leaned towards the lens as if trying to spot something that would help her grasp the device's function. ]}

...Huh? W-What is... Is it blinking? ...A red light?

_{[ A confused face etched upon her face as she tried to distinguish this blinking red light. Though, shortly it dawned upon her as she inched away ever so slightly with a reddened, embarrassed face. ]}

...T-This couldn't be a camera like those on the television could it? _{... Auu...}

Does this mean what I'm saying right now is being recorded?...

A-Ah! Um... What do I do?

[giggle] No, not in the least. If anything, she's worse.

E-Ehhh?

_{[ Yeah Shannon didn't like the sound of that. That meant, future her was struggling with Natsuhi, oh dear. ]}

...Really? Oh my...

_{[ She twiddles her fingers anxiously, trying not to picture any other bad situations Natsuhi may have put her through. ]}

[Oh, you know, just things like covering up Kinzo's death...]

If she's not around, it's safe to say, she's pretty annoying [giggle]. I feel sorry for all of you.

_{[ What death? Kinzo's still alive, yeep, yeep. Just rotting away--er studying away. ]}

Yes... well thank you... I-I do hope she gets better...

Good luck, you'll probably need it. Then again, if no one who could cause you trouble shows up, it might not be so bad here.

[Don't worry, she won't.

Unless being dead is better, which it probably is, so. Thanks, Yasu and/or Eva~]

...Y-Yeah you're right... though it would be more comforting to see the others again be it here or if we go back home...
