[Unlike her first video, Usagi is a bit more somber, her gaze is far off.]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I wasn't sure where else to get this information.

Do we know what happens to the people who leave? Do they go home? Are they... put on trial for the things we're accused of?

[She's not really sure what she would rather for Galaxia. Galaxia didn't HAVE a home to go back to, and there was no means of returning to life because Usagi had failed to save the Cauldron. So, it was just... an end. But to be here instead, would Galaxia have wanted that instead?]

[ The question is something Ange has been thinking about before herself, though she doesn't have any personal experience with it, nor a good answer because of it.

So rather than giving Usagi an answer Ange can't give her, the girl seems to be quietly thinking for a moment before she moves to reply to the message. ]

Did someone you know just disappear?

[ A very slight pause, but then she's already adding: ]

The same happened to me. [ She wonders if it's the same people Usagi is thinking about. ]

Ah, yeah, my only... friend from home. I'm just worried about what she's going home to... if she was even going home in the first place, ya know?

Oh, a friend of yours left too?

[entreats]

.. Kind of. [ It's a little more complicated in her case.

(Then again, it's a little more complicated in Usagi's case too, compared to what Ange is thinking.) ]

They were my family, but apparently not from the same world as me. [ See? Very complicated. ] It means I can't say much, since I don't know them very well, but.. they didn't seem like the type to just leave by themselves and not tell anyone about it.

So I did imagine that whatever entity is in charge here removed them from this place.

[lightthedarkness]

Oh... I'm sorry your family is gone, even family from a different world. I'm sure, even if they're from a different world, they loved you very much. You're very loveable.

I want to know who brings us here, I'd like to have a word with them.

[entreats]

[ U-Usagi, please, how can you say these things so easily.

It's so baffling to Ange that there's just silence on her end of the line for a moment. Sure, her face is visible, but she's - thankfully - dealing with the fluster of hearing that under her pokerface, mostly just in her own mind. Still, she needs a moment to process it before asking: ]

Have you tried getting in touch with them at all?

[ H-Haha, just going to casually ignore that first part of what the other girl said, thanks!! ]

[lightthedarkness]

[Usagi doesn't push when she sees that Ange is flustered.] The people in charge? Not even sure who those are. I don't think the people who live here know who they are either. Do you know?

[entreats]

Not directly.

[ At least this is a topic she's more confident about, able to slowly shift a little bit closer back towards her usual pokerface with every single word she speaks. ]

But the locals keep talking about some sort of mysterious group. And before I found myself here, I heard-- something. [ She realises that's a little vague, but it's really hard to put it into any other terms. ] Voices.

[ Even if she doesn't remember too much about it. But she does remember hearing something, or someone.. ]

I just don't know how to get in touch with them. I bet they don't want us to do so in the first place, so that doesn't make it any easier.

[lightthedarkness]

Admittedly, I don't remember hearing anyone. I was... uh... distracted. [Dying.]

We have to find where we get dropped off, they'd have to be there when they bring us, right?

[entreats]

[ Don't worry, Usagi. Ange seems to totally be taking 'distracted' as a reason here - especially since she knows that being brought here is kind of disorienting, and probably even more so when you aren't used to being thrown into different worlds the way Ange herself is.

Not like she knows Usagi might not be just an ordinary girl, after all. ]

Maybe. [ It sounds like she's considering it. ] It depends on the way they bring us here. Honestly, just going by past experience, I was kind of expecting them to be right there to gloat when I realised I was in another place, but that never happened. Even though I tried looking for them right away.

[lightthedarkness]

I woke up in the stupid silo. No way to look until I got out, if they WERE around they were probably long gone by the time I got out. It didn't help that everyone was just like "go to Aldrip," meanwhile I'm trying not to freak out about this possibly being my afterlife.

[entreats]

...

[ There's a pause.

A semi-awkward pause.

Then, when Ange speaks up, she tries. It's not easy for her, but-- ]

Hey, it's okay. Most of us really don't know anything about this place. I'm pretty sure I heard something before properly waking up here, but it's not like I saw anyone around either. [ She's trying to reassure Usagi, okay. It might not be the best attempt, but by Ange standards.. well, it's quite a lot already. ] We're all still just trying to figure out what's going on here, or how to deal with any of it.

[lightthedarkness]

[Usagi catches on quickly.]

Thank you for being so sweet to me, Ange-san. I appreciate it. There are lots of people here way smarter than me, so hopefully I don't get in the way of figuring it out. I'll try to help where I can.
