[lsr 002] - but I love it when you come over to my house...

[ladyashikira]

Christmas is coming up almost too fast, and even though there's the world to be worried about, with the madmen being captured and the Lifestream doing whatever it's doing, I haven't thought about it once. I've been busy rushing around getting the cafe looking nice for the season, and worrying about what gifts Maya wants. It's her first Christmas

...Miss Kira.

[A sigh.]

Is this urgent? I'm rather busy.

[ooc: I'm going by the assumption he still doesn't know what happened to Maya. ;)]

[ladyashikira]

I just thought I'd ring and ask if there was any way to thank you, seeing as we have our little girl back.

[There is a pause on her end, and then she adds, slightly more clipped:]

Even if she is like this...

[Several moments of silence, then:]

Amaya...is with you.

[The pieces fall together. Amaya's disappearance correlating in time with Reeve's exit from Gongaga, but Hojo never thought the man would be this stupid.

Relief nonetheless floods him, followed by terrible urgency.]

Miss Kira, listen - your daughter is not...complete. She needs further treatments or she will die again. You need to take her back here, back to me!

[ladyashikira]

[Her fingers freeze in the middle of tapping on the desk; face going white, she looks up in the direction of her little girl's bedroom in something like panic.]

What do you mean, not complete? Why would they bring her back if she wasn't... What's going on?
