The audio is quiet as first as Yukari fiddles with the device. She's never seen it before she'd arrived at Vatheon, nor does she know why it's shaped like a starfish, but nevertheless, it intrigues her, and she can't help but mess with it. She sighs; if only Fuuka were around, surely she'd be able to figure it out in a heartbeat. But she supposed

It is you! You have no idea how much I've missed you and the other girls!

She stares at the girl, surprised to see her. There's this feeling in her heart, like... well, it was almost exactly the same feeling she got, when she first saw Minato here. This sinking, confusing feeling, but at the same time, unrelenting joy. She remembers... she would always remember.
H... Haruka?
How does she know her name? She's never met her before, not that she knows of. But yet she's so familiar. Everything about her...
Tears are even rolling down her face again. Just a little.

Yukari? Are you okay?
[She pauses.]
Do you want me to meet you?

She pauses for a moment, staring at her face. Studying her features. She vaguely remembers fighting alongside her... going shopping with her at Paulownia Mall. Just flashes of memory, passing by in her head. She... she is their leader...! Minato is the leader she remembers... but this girl, Haruka... she is too.

That sounds great. I'm... I'm actually here too. I came back here with Minato and Ryoji a while ago... I still haven't picked out a room yet though.
She pauses.
Do you... wanna help me?

[Now her small smile turns into a huge grin.]
My room's at the end of the hall on our floor. Big surprise, right?

I'll be waiting.
She is still quite confused by this alternate leader's existence, but it doesn't hurt quite as much now. She doesn't know why, but she knows that they are friends, and that was the most important thing right now.
Remembering something else quite important, namely that she said she was bringing in groceries, she manages to get in a few last words before the video shuts off.
Oh, uhh, are you going to need help carrying stuff in? Just how much did you get?
