"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"

[Morgan is just squinting at the phone, rubbing her head.]

Huh... I wonder what I tripped over.

Oh hey Noire! I'm fine!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

A-are you really?

video;

[intendance]

[ . . . ]

No, probably not. I mean, I hit my head, but I didn't get any memories back, I think. That's kind of depressing.

[HUFF

but she finally scrambles to her feet.

....???]

What was I calling you about again?

video;

[bloodandblunder]

I... don't know...

[ no really she can't even begin to guess. ]

video;

[intendance]

[.........???]

Huh. Weird.

Oh well! How have you been, Noire?

video;

[bloodandblunder]

I've been fine... um, but are you sure you're all right?

video;

[intendance]

Mostly!

[...she just taps her chin thoughtfully.]

I do wish I could remember what I called you for though... now this all seems a little silly!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

It's all right. [ with a warmer smile. ] It isn't like I mind talking to you, after all.

video;

[intendance]

[...awww Noire. Morgan beams right back.]

That's because you're my best friend, of course! [no sense of shame there.]

Did you know Hinata didn't even realize Komaeda is his friend? Ha ha, what a strange guy!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

He... ah.

Um, well, he said that Komaeda was sort of... difficult, back home. But I know he was trying to get along with him.

video;

[intendance]

Difficult...?

[..........huh]

I guess I could see that! He's a pretty odd person, I suppose.

video;

[bloodandblunder]

He... really doesn't think too highly of himself, but... he's very nice.

video;

[intendance]

[ . . . . . . . . . . . ]

Whoa, you two are like twins when you put it that way!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

E-eh? I-- well, it's true that I can mostly understand where he's coming from...

video;

[intendance]

Huh! How funny. I didn't even realize how similar you two are.

[Morgan seems.......so pleased by this.]

video;

[bloodandblunder]

[ .... why. ]

Is it really that funny?

video;

[intendance]

Yep!

...Well, maybe "funny" isn't the right word. ...Entertaining? Amusing?

video;

[bloodandblunder]

We might be similar, but I don't really think he's... I-I mean, I don't like it when he calls himself trash.

video;

[intendance]

Me neither...but I don't like it when you're down on yourself either! See!

That's where we're always coming from when we point out that you're too hard on yourself.

video;

[bloodandblunder]

Am I really that bad...?

video;

[intendance]

Sometimes!

[well at least she's honest.]

But that's all right! That's just how you grew up. But we'll just keep reminding you how great you are until you accept it. Just like Komaeda will eventually!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

I hope so... ah, I mean, I had all of you and Zohra...

But then again, Komaeda has Hinata, too.

video;

[intendance]

[...haaa.]

I think Hinata has a lot to figure out too, but then we can kill two birds with one stone if we help them both out all at once! That would be extra amazing problem-solving!

video;

[bloodandblunder]

Mm... I already promised I'd do my best to help him-- and convince Komaeda he isn't worthless... s-so you're right! We'll have to try hard together.

video;

[intendance]

Oh yes, between the two of us, we'll be just fine.

[morgan looks around once more and then siiiighs.]

...I've definitely forgotten what I was originally going to show you.
