( Can we talk...? )

I didn't think it'd been that long, but everybody's talking about the new year already... Is this just one of those Nexus things?

That Crow guy just had a little accident, Lelei. Stupid ass stepped on one of my Fire Beads. Somebody might wanna peel him off the wall later.

( I ran into... )

( A late birthday present, PINned to the Tower. )

I'm sorry I haven't kept in contact lately. Things have been hectic lately -- we had a major battle, and...

Terra, sorry for missing your birthday. Hopefully you won't mind a late present...?

( *For Lelei's eyes only.* )

SHIGURE!?

*Following this, Lelei can hear rustling noises -- somebody forgot to turn off her PINpoint.*

Lelei, I think we've just spotted the Princess. There's another guy in clothes like Lyon's and Miakis' there. Looks older, white hair. Any clue who that is?

Good luck, everyone!
