[the screen jars a bit and flickers, not showing anything quite yet, but it seems as though someone is working on it. white and black patterns dart across the screen and shake, and then there's a flicker of light, and finally a line of sight!]
-- Finally!
[the view is dim, but that's because of the lighting. it starts with a pair of restricted hands, which move with short jerky motions, but the guide is soon placed on a table, facing Ritsuka. There's a blanket off to the side of the table, neatly folded and there for use but ...not used, and on the other side, a Fast Food joint's bag, but it's empty.]
Took long enough. It's only been doing the voice function for a while.
[Ritsuka looks tired and disheveled, not hurt, but not too well off either. His thick hair hangs in his face and as he leans forward and rests his head on the table, not even looking at the guide anymore. his surroundings are hard to distinguish, but he seems fairly at ease, since he's been here for a while (two weeks)]
Soubi? Can you see this? I'm sorry. I've kept you ... waiting.
[a shift.]
They're probably mad I haven't showed up for my new job yet. ....It can't be much longer.
[he looks up at the guide and stares into it, with large purple eyes--]
Can anyone tell me a -- lullaby? I-It's not because I want to hear one! It's just... I've been spending all this time thinking about it and I can't really remember any. It's not something I focused on...
