*right next to Mikuru's bed now*

Mikuru! What's wrong? What happened?!

[chronoslip]

Trunks.. *turns and clings to him, still crying*

They... They made me... It was so painful...

[future_defender]

*gently places his hands on Mikuru's shoulders*

It's okay. I'm here, so it'll be okay. Now...just try to relax, and tell me what happened.

[chronoslip]

*calms down after a minute*

I... S-Suzumiya... she wanted a computer... and she made the president of the computer club grab... *shields her chest nervously* and she took a picture and said... she would tell everyone that the whole computer club had... had done... to me...

Then... they all came back... and... and Suzumiya... and Kyon... and Nagato... they weren't there... and... and the computer club... they... they became scary... like demons... and... and they... they... *tears up again*

Was that... Trunk's voice?

Hey, are you ok over there?

[chronoslip]

U-Um... I think.. so...

[hunterxofxrare]

You don't sound so sure of yourself~ Are you really alright? Is there anything I can do for ya?

[chronoslip]

It's okay.. I-I'm alright...

[heroic_commoner]

Mikuru? Are you okay?

[chronoslip]

Fu-Fujioka.. Yes... I think I'll be okay...

[heroic_commoner]

Okay, thank goodness. I hadn't seen you in days, and was starting to get worried.

[chronoslip]

I'm sorry, Fujioka...

[hailbeautyqueen]

[chronoslip]

M-Miss Etna... I'm sorry. I haven't been working properly... I-I'll understand if you want to fire me...

The customers like you too much. Just hurry up and get over whatever's screwing with you.

[chronoslip]

Yes... I-I think so...

[for_myworld]

I'm glad. I was worried about you.

[chronoslip]
