We've had a lot of - new arrivals, it looks like. [Never mind that Souji knows who most are - he doesn't want to confuse people given the already confusing situation. And he makes the offer all the time, but on this occasion it's of additional importance - ] I understand that coming here can be a lot to take in, so please contact me as necessary.

I'm here. [unaffected, boggling a little at what's going on - outside of the night mare, chie hasn't really experienced anything of this magnitude yet - but ready to step up and get to work.] What do you need me to do ... Leader?

[Leader.

It's a small thing, but to Souji, it's huge.

He smiles, just a little.]

Think you could handle an extra shift, Chie-chan?

[it's the tiniest thing, really, but it's a step back toward a semblance of normalcy, of how things used to be when she and souji and all the rest used to function as a unit. it's an unconscious thing, but chie's actually a little pleased with herself for how it slipped out.]

Yeah! You can count on me.

[He's almost, almost unwilling to dare to hope that this is a step in the right direction. But hope is who he is, and he's been daring enough so far that he responds with a surer smile now.]

Thank you.

[heavyheels]

Heh, don't even mention it. Just let me know when and where you need me, OK?

[voice]

[toplay_thefool]

Will do. I'll contact you soon, Chie-chan.

[voice]

[heavyheels]

OK! I'll wait to hear from you.
