[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.]

[ 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!

[ 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]

[ Smile, smile. ]

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

[voice]

[healedbythelight]

Yes, we can. But it hasn't been that long, has it, Sophie?

[voice]

[cluelessflower.livejournal.com]

I don't know. It feels like it has. [ She has no idea how long she's been here because she is not the type of person to actually keep track. ]

[voice]

[healedbythelight]

Well, don't worry. I'll come to find you soon. Are you with Asbel right now?

[voice]

[cluelessflower.livejournal.com]

[ She shakes her head, though Cheria can't exactly see that. ]

No, but I don't think he's far.

[voice]

[healedbythelight]

That's good. [She wouldn't want Sophie to stray from Asbel too far in a place like this.] Then, are you at the house?

[voice]

[cluelessflower.livejournal.com]

[ A nod now. ]

Yes.

[voice]

[healedbythelight]

I will see you there, all right?

[First she needs to head to the village and gather her belongings, and whatnot.]

[voice]

[cluelessflower.livejournal.com]

[ And now she sounds happier. ]

You're coming to live with us, too?

[voice]

[healedbythelight]

I believe so, yes. [She never imagined she'd be living in the same house as all her friends, but it's a very comforting image.]

[voice]

Good!
