[Sixty Eighth Cord]: [Locked from Hostiles] [Video]

[drunkkareoke]

[Video comes on to a rather crooked view of Haku sitting on her bed. Her hair is braided, and though she's still in a nightgown, she looks like she cleaned up a little since she was seen last. She's blinking in confusion, though, apparently aware that the angle is off.]

Ah... Phasco...

Huh? ... oops, sorry, kid.

[Camera view is righted]

Better?

Yes.

Good to have you back, Haku.

[drunkkareoke]

Thank you... I'm sorry...

[bondingalchemy]

It's okay. I'm just happy to have you back.

[drunkkareoke]

I'm... trying to be back. As much as I can.

[fireybrush]

... I'm sorry, Haku...

[drunkkareoke]

What do you have to be sorry for... ?

[fireybrush]

I... I nearly attacked out of vengeance. I... I don't know if letting myself be stopped was right. If my attempting may have somehow blunted your sorrows, or...

[drunkkareoke]

Can... I tell you a story, Lori? I think it has an important lesson... one I didn't realize until recently...

[punkass_drgnrdr]

... Good ...

[drunkkareoke]

Nii-chan...

I'm so sorry for how I behaved...

[punkass_drgnrdr]

[Long silence.]

You scared me, Haku.

[drunkkareoke]

I-I know...

I can't take it back... but I can promise you I'll never, ever do anything like that again...

[sunsetsandwomen]

Sounds like everyone's still running hard to the rift...

Heh, well, you sound like you're gonna pull yourself back together. Good, I don't wanna have to worry about my first marriage falling apart before I can even wish the happy couple a raunchy honeymoon.

Still, I hope to see better of you in the future. This kind of behavior's unbecoming of a lady, especially a fine lady such as yourself.

[drunkkareoke]

[blushing]

Thank you, Gilder...

[sunsetsandwomen]

You can thank me by making sure you improve. I've got faith in you, but I don't want to ever hear about something like this again, you hear me?

[drunkkareoke]

[eep!]

Y-yes sir...

[dudeyrgttin_ame]

... That song? You mean...

...

Hn. Y-yeah... let's talk...

[drunkkareoke]

I tried to think back... but I think some of my memories are still messed up from when I got fried last year...

Did... did you write Shiro no?

[dudeyrgttin_ame]

What does it matter? I don't... feel any connection to those songs, Haku. I don't... feel any memories, or like I have a connection to them...

...

I'm not special like you all, but that doesn't bother me. I just don't know how to process it.

[drunkkareoke]

How can you not have a connection to them? You wrote them! That means something!
