.004: Fear-stricken [voice]

[noisettehost]

[very desperate, almost angry tone - with elevated volume]

How many... of you have I spoken to that have been here since long before I was dropped off in this... place....?!
I know one of you spoke briefly about it, but why is it that none of you told me the full extent of this... MAZE... thing that overtakes the city? None of you realize I have no

...It's only happened once, since people started arriving here.

[noisettehost]

Isn't that beside the point though?! I mean, nobody even told me, and now I've been told it might happen again?!

... sorry.
It just... a scary thing to think about. I mean... the monsters... called heartless?

[cursedpromise]

Mm. ...They didn't look very dangerous. If Sora and that other girl hadn't already known about them, a lot more people would have gotten hurt.

[noisettehost]

... see that's another point...
If it does come back, and it's something nobody really knows about this time... people can get really hurt.

[sighs a little, but has a sincere tone to his voice]

Miss Haruhi...

I didn't think you needed to know of the maze's existence, it's a very dangerous thing and it was better you didn't know of it.

[voice]

[noisettehost]

... but if it came back, and I didn't know about it, wouldn't that have been even worse in the end? I understand that you felt the need to protect me... but... that will do me little good if it does come back...

[voice]

[harmonicmelodia]

I don't know if I will be able to protect you after my last entry. He is after me and he might threaten to harm my friends if I don't reconsider joining him again.

[voice]

[noisettehost]

Frederic...
... Ino's offered to help me, if that's any ease on your mind.

(long, drawn out pause, voice dropping a bit)
Just... don't even consider it. From what I've heard of him from others so far, including yourself, he'll be hurting your friends either way. It's blackmail... to either get you on his side, or keep you at his side. You need a different approach to this than just... giving in...

*comforting tone*

I, for one, don't know about the maze thing. Lyserg just told me they pop up in random but, I never thought it has monsters in it.. Now that's a different issue.

And if it did pop up, I'm always here to protect you. I've battled more dangerous things before so, these monsters couldn't be that bad.

[voice]

[noisettehost]

(calming down slightly)

Well... people are confirming now that there's indeed monsters or evil things in it...
But... it makes me feel better knowing someone's here to help me. I mean - even if I tried to learn how to use something now, it'd take me far too long, and I possibly won't have enough time to learn something new like that... so... I'd appreciate that.

[voice]

[purplishbarbie]

Don't worry~ Just stick to me if ever that happens or something. I may look like a girl with high maintenance but in the battlefield, you'll see a different Ino.

[voice]

[noisettehost]

Alright, thank you so much, Ino. It's a huge weight off my chest to know I have someone like you to count on.

[noisettehost]

... maybe a little... I would've appreciated it.

... look, I'm not... angry with you. Please don't think that I am... it's just a scary thing for me to think I'm not prepared if something was to happen again.

[noisettehost]

Thank you, Lyserg. You're so sweet...

[kamehamehaa]

Uhh.. Maze? Am I missing something here?

[noisettehost]

I'm --- really not the one to ask about this. I'm still learning the details myself I'm afraid...

... but evidently, from what I know so far, at one point all the buildings here randomly disappeared, left with maze walls instead, and everyone was stranded in it. There were monsters attacking people...
There's a chance it might happen again so...

[kamehamehaa]

Monsters? Bizarre...

That doesn't sound good. And you can't defend yourself...

Do you know if there's anywhere you could go to be safe?
