[... So many alarm bells are going off in her head. Also, hello there dream effects.]

... Are you all right?

[English]

[scientize]

[Naomi's barely paying attention until she notices just who she is looking it. It's that one girl. She can't recall the name. Naoto's been here plenty of times before, but the older woman really hadn't even noticed or cared to keep an eye on her.]

Hm? What was that?

[Japanese] Sorry, forgot to add that. ;;;

[seeksonlytruth]

[And now she remembers the translating problems the network is having. Damn these devices.]

Ah, it's... [Frustrated sigh. She shakes her head and can only shrug helplessly. But she'll remember to try and talk to this woman again.]

Totally fine 8D I nearly did too

[scientize]

[The shrug is enough for Naomi to realize what she means.

She hangs up without another look. If the girl wants to speak to her later, Naomi won't stop her.]

[ENGLISH]

[scientize]

Yes, of course. I- [Lavi's appearance takes her by surprise.]

Lavi, you- Oh, hm. [Not too quick there, Naomi. She remembers how she is a very rare case. Most people return with no memories of their time here.]

You don't recall me, do you?

YOU LOOVE MEEE

[scientize]

[Even with that dream looming over her head, Naomi looks more happy than she's been in quite some time.]

You're back? That's so wonderful.

[phantomfenton]

*Swallows hard, forcing himself to take a breath. Then another. Naomi just had a nightmare. First he has to make sure she's okay. Then he can hunt Adachi down and clobber the man into next year. Of course this dream was a memory. Everything was so clear, it couldn't be anything else.*

Are you okay?

[scientize]

[It's the one question she hates most.]

Yes. [She sits up in her bed, realizing that she won't be able to return to sleep now.] You should know that a dream wouldn't affect me so greatly, Danny.

[phantomfenton]

*Doesn't even blink at her assurance.* Still.

Was it real?

[scientize]

What?

No, of course not. Why would you think that?

[chose_death]

[And there, staring intently from the other end of the call, is Javert. Dark, searching, cold as the south pole and very, very sharp. Lies only last for so long, Naomi. Javert was certain it was only a matter of time before she slipped up, and all of his time sitting back is finally starting to pay off.

A shame they can hardly understand each other now.]

[scientize]

[And as if she needed something else to upset her, Javert appears, right on cue. It doesn't take long for the woman to understand from his gaze what she would never be able to understand in words.

He can see through the lies she's tried to so hard to conceal. She can't help but become defensive.]

What do you want?

[English. He's trying.... haltingly.]

[chose_death]

[A sluggish upturn of his mouth.]

Your friend. On a rack. But he would make a bad... decoration.

[English]

[scientize]

[Even with her irritation from both the dream and her lack of sleep, she manages to calm her nerves enough to speak clearly.]

Yes, he wouldn't add anything to the decor, but he hasn't done anything worth the rack anyway.

[Japanese]

[cuore_di_nebbia]

[She doesn't speak English apart from the very basic stuff taught in schools. But something about this dream, above the others, catches her attention. Chrome just stares, her one eye impassive, expressionless and silent for a long time before she speaks.]

...You were abandoned. [It's a question, not a statement, and whispered, as if she can't bring herself to say it any louder.]

[English]

[scientize]

[She, thankfully, doesn't understand a word.]

...What was that?

[Very, very bad Engrish]

[cuore_di_nebbia]

[...Oh hell. Chrome hesitates--she's not very good at english (she hasn't exactly had time to practice very much) but...]

Yuu...weir...abandondo?

[English]

[scientize]

[It takes a moment, but Naomi manages to understand it.]

Abandoned? You think I was abandoned?
