[ Ryoko looks... remarkably unruffled for someone who lost her superior and her study object in one fell swoop. the smile she gives the vine as she sits in her room in at the onsen is as flowery as ever. there's really no difference at all. ]

Hello, to whoever's watching! I'm Ryoko Asakura, for those of you I haven't met yet. So, it's nice to meet you! I only have a few questions, so I suppose I'll try to make this brief.

What do we know about those who have disappeared from the Gardens, and have there been any developments in the matter of escape?

You don't remember your previous visit here, you mean?

[imperial_ray]

Not at all.

[lastwaltz]

And you didn't do anything in particular to leave?

[imperial_ray]

I don't recall if I did.

[lastwaltz]

Well... I suppose things can't be that easy after all.

[imperial_ray]

I'm sorry...

[lastwaltz]

You don't have to apologize for anything! Why, it's not as if you have any say in the matter, do you...?

[ OONLY JOKING, OR IS SHE... ]

[imperial_ray]

I don't remember if I did or didn't.

[lastwaltz]

Hmm... I suppose I'm back to where I've started, then.

[imperial_ray]

Sorry...

[lastwaltz]

Don't worry about it, Dizzy-san. I'm only kidding, obviously~

[imperial_ray]

If you say so...

[lastwaltz]

Of course I do~
