[When the Vine opens up, there's no one to be seen on screen. Instead, it simply displays what has probably by now become a familiar landmark in the Gardens — Jessica's fortress. Just when you might think this is an accidental video of some kind, Nue speaks. Her voice seems to come from somewhere directly below the recording mirror. The truth of the matter is that she's sitting with her back against whatever the Vine happens to be perched on on her end. This is the first anyone will have heard from her in the days since her death at the hands of the woman in the well, Nue having been staying out of sight and sleeping in public places rather than returning to what had been her home.]

Hey. This place is empty, right? I looked around inside, and all I could find were robots. [Though said robots seem to have been doing a good job of keeping the place clean. Not a lot of dust to be found, which just makes staying there all the more appealing to her.] Because... I don't think I'm going to stay at the shrine anymore. So if no one is using in this place, I think I'll just live here from now on.

[She goes quiet for a few seconds, the image on screen unchanging. Then, eventually, she says,] That's all I have to say. I just— I wanted to make sure it was empty, and I thought I should say something in case anyone actually cares where I am.

Voice - Priavate to Yuyuko
[Nue has never really felt comfortable talking to Yuyuko, and even less so after she wound up with one of her memories, but...]

Could you do me a favor?

[She really doesn't want to go back to the shrine right now, and someone needs to get her stuff.]

Text - Private to Kariya & Reimu
[Both of them get the same short message, the Vine unfurling to reveal the words:]

I'm sorry.

[Nue doesn't add anything to that, figuring there's nothing she can say to justify her actions. She also leaves it unsigned, but her identity may very well be easy to figure out based on the content and timing.]

[ ooc: The public portion is also open to action. ]

Okay. That's really nice of you.

[...She sounds weirdly grudging about this, though.]

Something wrong?

Yeah, there is. [...] I guess I just don't feel like letting people be nice to me.

I could, um, call you nasty names or something, if you wanted.

OK, not really. I'm kind of bad at insults, anyway.

Do you, uh, need to be alone or something?

That's kind of why I decided to move out here in the first place.

OK, um, I'm not gonna pry or anything, but... that sounds like kind of a drastic move.

This have anything to do with the craziness a while back?

Yeah, it does.

[She nods, serious.]

Uh, I don't know if it's really my business, but given the timing... this really might be something you should talk out with, uh, whoever else was involved.

I don't think anyone was in their right mind there. So... I mean, you don't have to do this right now or anything, just... don't let the crap this place does mess up your relationships with people.

Geez, that was kind of preachy. Sorry.

Yeah, maybe. I don't know. [She mopes and places her cheek against the top of her knees.] I already sent a couple of apologies. I just...don't think I can face some people right now.

[Maybe after some time has passed, but definitely not right now.]

Gotcha.

Maybe write them a letter or something, just so they know what's up? I can even deliver stuff for you. Uh, if you don't mind someone being unreasonably nice to you.

I sent the notes over the Vine, so if they want to talk to me, they can just write back. [She can probably bear talking to them like that, at least.] And, the other person... I think it's best if we just don't talk for a little while yet.

Maybe, but if you left a note, then she can decide if she wants to read and respond.

At least it shows you're, y'know, trying.

I don't know. I kind of feel like... In this case, I want to see if she approaches me first. If she doesn't after a little while, I'll try to talk to her instead, but...

[A flash of frown.]

I... guess I see where you're coming from, but...

She's the one that attacked me. I messed up places, too, but unless she tells me otherwise, I'm just going to act like she meant everything she said and leave her alone.

Um... well, the problem with stuff like that is... like, every time I've seen it, both people are avoiding the other one. I mean, you remember where you are, right? The place where weird stuff happens every month and sometimes you do stuff you wouldn't normally because they're messing with your head?

Did you visit the well, too? It's not like the way people felt came from nowhere, even if it messed with their heads. I'm not saying I'm never going to talk to her, but I don't think it's a good idea to do it right away.

Yeah, and I felt like crap afterward.

I'm just saying, maybe she feels so guilty for... whatever she did, she's thinking you'll never forgive her or something.

Then she can suck it up just like I did! I don't expect Kariya or Reimu to forgive me—they shouldn't—but I sent them apologies anyway!

Well, yeah, I guess she should, but...

It's, um, really just a matter of if you still want to be around this person in the future, I guess. Uh, I know that's not really helpful, but...

I already said I'll do it if she doesn't talk to me after a week or two. [Or a month. You know, whatever.] Isn't that good enough?

I don't know that there's a, uh, "good enough." In that... uh, it's more about outcome, I think. So, uh, whatever works?

Sorry, I'm... not all that great at this sometimes. People are kind of messy.

And I'm pretty sure we both need some time before we're ready to talk, so...

Right, right...

[Sigh]

Sorry. Good luck.

Mhm. [...] Thanks.
