001 | Video/Action for New Bark
[A video appears on the feed with the sound of a Pokemon crying out happily, slightly muffled and at a bit of a distance. ”Goon! Gooon!” The feed shudders a bit, the surroundings shifting until whoever is on the other side finally gets their PokéGear angled toward themselves. Coming into view is what appears to be a young girl, and from the way their voice sounds in addition there’s nothing that could lead anyone to believe otherwise. This is in fact not the case, and rather she is a he. Still, the outfit he’s currently wearing seems to be made specifically for girls...]
Hello. ..Um. ...
[The child on the other end hesitates, pausing before trying to start again.]
My name... is Chihiro Fujisaki. I’m…not sure where I am...or what is going on, exactly.
[There’s a pause as the feed shifts once again, Chihiro moving to carefully sit in the grass instead of standing. The second he does a Zigzagoon climbs into his lap, nudging his head fondly against the underside of the boy's chin. He's not entirely sure what to do, obviously slightly unsure of the furry creature in his lap, but he seems friendly at least. After a pause he gently pets the Pokémon who continues to sit happily in his lap. Chihiro has arrived slightly overwhelmed by...well, everything, so it’s a moment before he’s able to continue.]
Or...how I got here, but.... Naegi-kun, Oowada-kun, Ishimaru-kun...um...Asahina-san...
[He quickly prattles off all the names of his classmates that he can remember off-hand, before realizing that a huge list of names won’t probably mean much if they...aren’t actually around. That thought strikes him hard for a moment before he takes a breath and continues, his grip on the ‘Gear tightening.]
...and everyone else. If any of you are here, from Hope’s Peak, please answer. Something...something must have happened. I mean, I’m outside again...and not...
[Chihiro seems unsure of what else to say, whatever he was saying dying on his tongue with his voice wavering slightly towards the end, so he dips his head a bit before cutting the feed.]

Hmmm.]
Fujisaki-san. Have you figured out how to secure your conversations on this device and make them private yet?
If you're going to be talking to everyone from Hope's Peak, that's something I expect you'll want to work out, first and foremost.
video; | private
Yes, I think so.
...Is...everyone here, then?
video; | private
Not everyone is here; by some means we haven't yet been able to identify, we've been brought to another world — one that isn't the world waiting outside the school at Hope's Peak. Others will fill you in more on this, so I won't waste time on it here.
From our school, there's Naegi-kun, Togami-kun, Hagakure-kun, Ishimaru-kun, Oowada-kun, Celes-san, Asahina-san, and myself. Kuwata-kun was here once; he's departed now. Somehow, people are brought here from different points in time, so the people you speak to will remember different things about our experiences at Hope's Peak. That's natural, and becomes easier to get used to with time.
...The survivors of our class at Hope's Peak are Naegi-kun, Togami-kun, Hagakure-kun, Asahina-san, and myself. Fukawa-san also survived, but she isn't here, and hasn't been before.
Somehow, there are also students who claim to be from Hope's Peak here — a different class than ours. From what we've been able to figure out, they were the participants in a subsequent murder game to ours, one that took place on an island. Of those students, the one of most particular note is Nanami Chiaki. Nanami-san is...
...
I expect she'll tell you herself, when you speak with her. What I will say is: you should believe what she says. Most of us do.
......
The final thing is...we're safe here. We know the identity of the mastermind and she isn't present here. For the time being, there's no need to be afraid. Somehow, this is a world where death has no hold, so...
...
It's good to see you, Fujisaki-kun.

Chihiro closes his eyes tightly, lowering the 'Gear so his shaking hands won't cause him to just drop it altogether.
Survivors. ..There were survivors. ....
The Zigzagoon in Chihiro's lap seems to sense his unease, lifting his head enough to lick the boy's cheek. His shoulders jerk a bit, but the contact is comforting. It keeps him from losing his barely held together composure as he continues to kneel there silently.
What gets him the most is the fact that she used -kun, after his name. It's mostly what's stopped him dead and rendered him unable to speak. If she knows...does that mean he did it? ..Was he able to tell them?
They're safe here, so questions...all the many questions can wait. They'll have to. Right now, the fact that they're all here, away from Monobear, and ok is good enough for the time being.
Finally he gets the 'Gear back in place, watching Kirigiri with misty eyes.]
...It's...good to see you too....K-Kirigiri-san...
[He closes his eyes again, blinking hard.]
...I....I just...don't want to be alone. ..I w-want to...be where you are. ...You and everyone else.
[He'll eventually get the full story from there.]

She should do better, especially when it concerns Fujisaki-kun. If there's anyone she's willing to make the effort for, it's Fujisaki-kun — because god knows he'd made the effort for them, once, and none of them would've survived —
...Naegi-kun wouldn't have survived...that thing that she'd done...
She's never been the best with feelings, but she's clearly making an attempt now.]
I know it's...
[Come on, Kyouko. You can do this.]
Naegi-kun will...do a better job at explaining things. At what's...important, for you right now.
[...]
It's likely that a lot of people are about to talk to you over this device. It would be better if...
[......]
Would you rather ask me questions instead, Fujisaki-kun? If so, I'll answer them as best I can.
video; | private
It's a terrible feeling he's suddenly having. He wants to be alone so he can think, yet he wants to be with the rest of his classmates.
...]
I'm...I'm sorry. I'm sorry...
[He reaches up with one hand and brushes the tears from his eyes, though it doesn't help that much. He hasn't broken down completely into tears, if anything. ...No, he's better than that. He promised himself he would be.]
..I don't....know w-what to ask.
video; | private
[The urge to ollie out is strong and getting stronger by the minute; still, guilt will make her stick things out a little longer, at least.]
...If it's...not all right that I call you Fujisaki-kun, I understand. But that's...something I know, also.
video; | private
It isn't hard to answer the next thing she says, somehow. He'd been preparing himself to tell them for so long...it feels so surreal.]
...Fujisaki-kun is fine.
[There's a pause where he looks away, biting his lip. ...Well, she doesn't look it, but he has to ask.]
You're not...upset with me, a-are you?
....f-for lying....I mean.
video; | private
[Let's just neither one look at the camera, then, that's certainly helping things.]
No, if I were asked what I feel toward you...my answer would be "gratitude". And "admiration".
That's how it is.
video; | private
Certainly not gratitude. Not admiration.
By now the tears have finally escaped to roll silently down his cheeks, but he manages to bite back his emotions before he can properly begin to cry. He just....doesn't understand.
Why. Why would....you admire him? What...has he done that's admirable?
He's quiet for a while, sniffing as he once again struggles to calm himself down. He can feel his Pokemon companion licking his face again, this time working to clean the tears away, whining now with concern.]
I...I see.
[That's not quite...what he wanted to say, there, but nothing else would come out.]
video; | private
All right, then. Time at last to do what Kirigiri does best — aside from being a detective (and a downright horrible person), that is.]
Speak to the others, Fujisaki-kun. I'll...let you get settled in, for now.
[Now's a good time to end the call and disappear for a while, and that's precisely what she's going to do.]
