Saya Minatsuki

[ FORWARD-DATED TO THE EVENING OF THE 23RD. (As tags will be slow for a while after.) ]

[There's a click as the feed starts and Saya hums a bit. She looks a bit tired but there's nothing about her demeanor that specifically tells that she's been haunted for the last couple days.]

The eve of Christmas Eve, guys! I figure most of us are pushing back our holiday plans considering everything that's happening, but I've found the most reliable mailman, so I hope some of you get your presents! Is everyone managing with your ghosts, though? I had one of my own but I haven't seen him lately. Then again, he always had that habit with disappearing. But if you ever need a place to crash or someone to talk to, you know where to go~

[She grins cheekily. Though suddenly her expression is confused.

What was that chill?

Will you continue to destroy others, witch?

The air is electrified. Everything is tense. Every fiber of her being on edge. Him. That voice. That insult. Only he would- Only her murderer would.

The broadcast is left forgotten as she whips around in her chair, her back to the SFC now as it lay on the table, entirely neglected. Because all at once, she's forgotten. Forgotten the curse, forgotten the ghosts, forgotten everything. Only remembering that she is facing the man who took her life.

Nevermind that this voice is only in her head.]

H-Hey.... I-I liked Train better. Why are you here? I don't want to- to....

[--to die again.

Her voice shakes, much as her frame does now. All the worldly experience that she exudes in her posture and confidence has been stripped from her now, just as she feels that the world has been yanked from underneath her.

Train Train Train. You don't even deserve to say his name, witch! He's not here to save you now. And truly, I will not fail to cut out your heart-

She leaps to her feet and knocks the SFC off the table in her haste. It clicks off. There will be no audience as she loses her mind.]

[There's something a little off about Saya as the feed turns on. She's clearly got something on her mind, though what it is exactly... That's harder to tell.]

Say, did anyone notice anything... off after the festival? It was almost a week ago, I know. But... Well, if anything strange happened, don't be afraid to share.

[For a few fractions of a second, she seems a little lost. Just a pause as she looks elsewhere but doesn't bother to turn off the communicator. Does she have something else to say? And then a bit suddenly, a smile comes across her face, as if she just remembered something important.]

Well, no use worrying about it until we get more information. If you don't have an answer for my last question, answer my next one!

What do you have waiting for you at home? Loved ones? A pet? Something important waiting on you?

Do a girl a favor and ease her curiosity.
