[The mirror opens on a pink-haired girl, standing in a clearing and fidgeting a little awkwardly with her hands. She hurriedly sets them at her side, straightens her shoulders, looks into the mirror, and begins to speak, her eyes shining with determination.]

Everyone, this is Estelle, and I'd like to offer the services of the guild Brave Vesperia. One of its members, Yuri Lowell, has arrived in the Gardens, and he...um, she will take care of your problems. I know Yuri, and--if anyone can find the Queen and convince her to send us all home, it's him! I mean...her.

Thank you very much for listening to me! Please rely on us, and we'll all be home soon.

[She turns slightly and starts to gesture for the Vine to stop recording, then pauses, a faintly guilty expression on her face.]

Yuri...maybe I should have asked her first...

[She hurriedly gestures to close the feed, and the mirror goes blank.]
