[The journal suddenly starts recording to catch a young woman's voice in mid-sentence. Sadly, the camera is directed towards the ground.] -at this button does... Is it broken?

This is hopeless. I'll never figure this device out. [A deep sigh.] If only Pascal were here...

[The image shakes, then tilts harshly until the camera is directed towards a stone ceiling instead. A hand swiftly moves past the screen.] ... Ah? What's it doing now?

[And finally, the journal is tilted one last time to show a girl with long pink hair, wearing a New Feather dress and staring into the camera with a confused expression.]

It's working! Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.

Ack!

[The journal falls a short distance, but because Cheria was sitting, it lands safely in her lap.]

[healedbythelight]

It's... It's on?

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

That's right! Just opening and speaking into it can trigger that. You didn't break anything.

I'm Rydia, one of the volunteers at Luceti's Welcome Center.

[Voice]

[healedbythelight]

Luceti... That is the nearby village, correct?

[Her gaze wanders to the map, which is pinned to the New Feather station's wall. The village is clearly marked on that.]

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Yes, though it can just as well be applied to the realm in general. There's only one village in this place.

You're at the watch station, right? Do you want me to come get you?

[When Asbel hears a strangely familiar voice that he hasn't heard in a while over the journal, he finds himself drawn to it. So he curiously opens his journal.

And that's when he sees her. He thought his ears might have been playing tricks on him, but not his eyes. It was Cheria... She was on the journal!]

...Ch-Cheria?!

[Voice]

[healedbythelight]

[Of all the familiar voices to hear, Cheria certainly hadn't been expecting this one. Needless to say, she's mildly startled.]

A-Asbel?!

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

Cheria... It is you. [Richard goes home, and Cheria takes his place?]

[Voice]

[healedbythelight]

Asbel, you... Where are you? Do you have one of these strange books as well?

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

[After everything that's happened, it was comforting to hear Cheria's voice, even if he didn't expect to.]

I'm in the village, and yes, I do. But Cheria... Where are you?

[ Sophie would recognize that image and voice anywhere! She's kind of surprised to see her (Sophie thought Cheria was left back in their own world), but she's also very very happy to see her, too!

And it is made obvious by her excited tone. ] Cheria!

[voice]

[healedbythelight]

[Excited tone or no, Cheria's a little shocked to hear Sophie's voice. The last time she saw her, Sophie was going back to Lhant with Asbel. Now it's coming from a strange book.]

... Sophie!

[voice]

[cluelessflower.livejournal.com]

[ Sophie doesn't understand the shock, but she does understand that Cheria is here now! ]

Cheria, you're really here?

[voice]

[healedbythelight]

[After a few more seconds, Cheria's surprise melts away to make room for a gentle smile.]

Yes, Sophie. I'm really here.

[voice]

[cluelessflower.livejournal.com]

[ Smile, smile. ]

That's good. We can finally see each other again.

[The voice alone is a dead giveaway. Hubert immediately reaches for the journal he left lying open when he hears it. Then he sees her, in all her confused glory, and he knows he should speak up.]

Ah -- Cheria?

[ video ]

[healedbythelight]

Hubert?

[Goodness, there certainly are a lot of familiar voices coming from this device.]

[ video ]

[mistyarc.livejournal.com]

[There she is. After everyone, and one departure, there she is. Judging from the stone ceiling earlier . . . ]

Yes. Are you at a station?

[ video ]

[healedbythelight]

I believe so, yes. ... This is all very confusing. [Why is everyone taking this situation for granted? She's talking to them through a book.]

[Voice] *slams open door* NO I'M NOT LATE, TEACH!

[dreamfandom.livejournal.com]

Bnnnnnnn?

Cheriaaaaaa... five more minutes....

[Voice] Nah, just fashionably late! <3

[healedbythelight]

... Pascal?

[First Asbel, then Sophie and Hubert, now Pascal? Who's next?]

[Voice]

[dreamfandom.livejournal.com]

Heeeeeere!

[Voice] 1/2

[healedbythelight]

... [What is that sound? Is she snoring?]

[Voice] 2/2

[healedbythelight]

Pascal! Wake up!
