For Vivio, things seemed to be one big roller coaster. Her parents had come back a little shaken from their mission just in time to greet the new arrivals. The excitement of seeing those like Arf, Yuuno and Signum was dampened by news of Precia arriving. She opted to bow out, confused on how to confront her - between meeting a new family member and

Sakura had entered the Media Library today after mulling over the necessity of learning as much as she could about Stacy, the Ohm, and everything else about this strange reality. She had half a mind to ask around for this Vivio friend of Negi's; a brief glance around the Library told Sakura that there was more to knowing how to use this place than met the eye.

"This? Well..." Vivio said, trailing off. "...it's of something horrible that happened here awhile back. Punishment." She looked at the girl, a worried look on her face. "I don't know if you want to look at it..."

"I wouldn't say I exactly want to," she said, looking straight at the other girl. "So much as I might need to." Outside of the implications behind Stacy wanting this to be seen, time and again, Sakura had her own standards against willing ignorance and blindness to her situation.

The last depended on her own actions, she suspected. "Are things like him common on this ship?"

She tilted her head a bit, a little curious. "I... take it you don't have something like that where you came from?"

Sakura realized that jutsu might not make much sense, and shrugged. "By that, I mean any of the techniques people are trained in back home. They're not based on magic, either, so that might be part of it."

"Perhaps you could show me some of that sometime, hm?" she offered.

Getting close to thinking about things she'd rather not, yet again. She looked back toward the rest of the library, and then waved the disk she had in hand around. "But for now, about the index...?"
