[Video] Locked From Usagi's View

[aquaticbeauty]

[Ami appears on the screen, her soft features hardened into a gravely serious expression.]

Alright.

[She lifts up a finger as though she's about to wag it, but instead it remains erect beneath her chin.]

As expected, Usagi-chan is not being forthcoming in the slightest as to what has transpired here prior to my arrival. [Re-arrival? Doesn't

Prior to your arrival in what regard?

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty]

[Ami holds her chin thoughtfully, as she is prone to do.]

She is upset, and she's trying to hide it. She says she's been here for nearly two years. I want to know if she has faced any trials during that time.

Beyond the usual, that is. I know Usagi, and she has a strong heart. But even so, I can tell when she's troubled.

[wingsandwill]

[He's quiet a moment, considering that and how to respond.]

This place can be trying. There have been many difficulties for us all.

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty]

Yes, I am sorry to hear that. I ask this not to discount the struggles that others have been through, but...

...Usagi-chan is extremely important where I come from, and it is imperative that I look into any potential harm that may befall her. That is why I am asking specifically about her time here.

Perhaps...perhaps once I learn what I need to know about Usagi-chan, we can proceed to help others, as well.

[Frowning.]

You're a friend of Usagi's?

[aquaticbeauty]

[Oh no, that face didn't look good. What happened?]

...yes.

( video )

[alwaysreturned]

Brilliant. She'll be happy.

[angle_on_it]

Usa's lost a lot of friends; she doesn't forget them when they go, or that they left even if they come back.

[Normally, Sokka wouldn't dish on Usagi like this, but... well, he hasn't been around much to be a friend, so maybe this girl will be.]

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty]

[There's a pained look on Ami's face.]

I...I wish there was something I could do to keep that from happening.

[Video]

[angle_on_it]

Me, too. Unfortunately, it's the nature of this place. We have the opportunity to be there for her, though, so it's good she has friends here.

[aquaticbeauty]

...when they leave, it's back home, right?

[supermistfrog]

[Oh, Ami's back. He remembers her.]

About what? Usagi's usually overemotional about her friends.

[aquaticbeauty]

"Over-emotional"...[Is that really it?]

But I don't understand. She seems to know so many of you, and she's usually one to make friends easily.

...she couldn't be lonely..?

[Video//same filter]

[supermistfrog]

Yes, she really goes on and on about them, and gets very sad when they leave. I don't really get why she puts so much energy into it.

...

Lonely?

[Ah, there we go.]

Mm, yes, you could say that. She is that kind of person.

[aquaticbeauty]

For some people, their friends are their most precious thing.

For others, it's family. For others, themselves, and other things for others.

[marsfireignite]

What happened?

[Video // Private // Unhackable]

[aquaticbeauty]

[Wide blink.] I was going to ask you. Usagi's said goodbye to friends before...[Maybe not senshi, not exactly.]

There seems to be something deeper troubling her. I can't tell what, though.

How are you, Rei-chan? Safe? We should catch up. I'd appreciate you bringing me up to speed.

[Video // Private // Unhackable]

[marsfireignite]

I'm as fine as anyone is in this city.

[Rei pauses for a moment before she frowns slightly.]

I can meet with you somewhere, sure. What did she tell you?

[Video // Private // Unhackable]

[aquaticbeauty]

That's good to hear.

[Ami shakes her head.] She's not telling me anything, which is why I'm concerned.

She's not the best of liars.
