[When the video clicks on, there's not much seen, just a blue eye staring into the camera, puzzled.]

This is... ah.

[The voice is a bit loud and crackly from being so close to the microphone, but then the camera is moved back, and Kiyoshi's face can be clearly seen. He looks tired, but there's a different sort of air about him - he's sitting up

[Pausing for a moment as she studies Kiyoshi on the screen. She knows that it's him but she can't help but think that something about him felt different. And she not just talking about the cape.]

Kiyoshi-kun, are you all right?

[Looks like it's her turn to be worried about him.]

[always_forgot]

Ah... Rise, right? I'll be fine.

[He has to be.]

I'm just a little disoriented from arriving here again.

[notjust_risette]

Again? I didn't even know you left.

[always_forgot]

It seems it was only for a short time.

[loves_the_rose]

Are you all right...?

You look awful.

[always_forgot]

Ah... do I really look that bad?

[He blinks slowly.]

[loves_the_rose]

Extremely tired, that is for sure.

[always_forgot]

That would be about right.

[He chuckles.]

[un_forgetting]

Abel? [REMEMBER HOW ATSURO SAID YOUR BROTHER'S A KID? :D]

You're here.

[always_forgot]

Na - oh.

Cain? What happened?

[un_forgetting]

I have no idea. What are those on your head?

[...Good luck.]

[always_forgot]

It's a type of ear covering.

[Which is technically true.]

Where are you?

[ifeelsoepic]

[It really doesn't take much for him to notice that something about him has changed a bit. He's still him but he can't really put his finger on what happened quite yet. Either way--]

Welcome back.

[always_forgot]

Thanks.

[He smiles a little.]

It's good to be back.

[ifeelsoepic]

Yeah I bet... What happened?

[always_forgot]

... I won the War of Bel. Now I have another war to fight.

[componere]

Well, someone certainly sounds different.

[ Considerate? What's the word? ]

[always_forgot]

Things change when you become a King.

[componere]

I can only imagine. [ He isn't too impressed, sorry. ]

[always_forgot]

[He didn't expect you to be. :|b You do remind him of Naoya, after all.]

We should hang out sometime, though.
