[ 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?

Could it be that a friend of yours has also disappeared?

[lastwaltz]

Two! Though I'm not sure if Suzumiya-san had ever considered me a friend. How sad!

[reallyerotic]

You should ask her next time. It's important that she makes her feelings known to you.

[lastwaltz]

How optimistic of you to think that there will be a next time! Well, I'll be sure to, if there is.

[reallyerotic]

Is there any reason why there wouldn't be one?

[lastwaltz]

Hmm... perhaps I'm just feeling a little pessimistic about the whole thing, then.

[reallyerotic]

You should be spending your youth doing the opposite.
