[Those familiar with the Fatal Frame games who play them in Prospero should recognize this face.

It is the face of a young girl huddled in the corner of a dark building with the phone clutched in her hand.

Around her, there are some broken doll arms, as well as a few said, dolls scattered around her body with blood smeared on some.

She doesn't know where she is, much less realizes that she's no longer on the island. If anything, a faint sniffle can be heard from the girl.

She's in a bit of a shock.]

I can't stay at the hospital anymore? [She feels like that's the only place that'd be safe for her. Also, it's weird to be out of her environment.]

...It's better that you don't, if you're not sick.

[He'll keep her safe?]

If you need it, I'll protect you, alright?

... I was admitted to the hospital because I had Getsuyuu Syndrome. I was incomplete and broken.

[Or so she thinks of herself.]

Can I trust you? Are you one of the ugly ones that wants to protect me? [She's not trying to be offensive or anything. It's just that everyone that has tried to protect her just.

Feared her.]

You can trust me. If by "ugly" you mean "people only doing it because they have to"-- then I'm not one of them. I wanna help you, kid. But I won't force you.

... Okay. I trust you.

[It's not like... she doesn't have to trust him. He seems like a nice guy, and someone that she can trust while she's here. Plus, he looks a bit like mommy, so it's okay.]

[He'll do his best for her. Because that's... just who he is.]

I'll come get you, then. Don't leave that area, alright?

[A single nod, and she stays quiet and very still for Kanda to find her. If anything, she won't hurt him. He definitely seems genuine and not following any sort of order.]

[Order? Nah. Just his own sympathy. He'll come pretty quickly, making excuses at his workplace to do this. Fifteen minutes at most.]

...Kid? You still here?

[Ayako moves the dolls that are scattered in her way and makes it through the pile of dolls to tug Kanda's sleeve.

Definitely looks like mother.]

[Kanda turns to look at her, and gently puts a hand on her head.]

...Hey. You're safe now.

[It's definitely dark in here, but she feels warm on the inside. Like that headpat actually meant something and that he felt like a guardian of some sort.]

I don't... know your name...

...It's Kanda. What's yours?

[Pillar of strength, he is.]

... Ayako.

[Such a pillar of strength that Ayako is clinging to his sleeve for awhile.]

I want to leave. I'm scared that a man in blooming followed me.

[He doesn't ask, not right now. He nods and takes her hand, instead.]

Alright then. Let's get out of here.

[Ayako follows in silence, of course. Looking around her surroundings once before focusing on the floor as they walk. He was pretty warm, so she was enjoying that.]

[Once they're in open air, Kanda will tell her the things she needs to know about this place. Y'know, the usual newbie speech that Button is a bit too lazy to type out right now.]

[Works for me man. You just have (1) terrified kid on your hands. Or slightly terrified anyway. Being out of her environment and all]

I'm going to be alone...? With no nurses or doctors...? [Sure, she loved to torment the former, but still. It was scary to not be in control.]

[Poor kid. ;;]

...You don't have to be alone. Like you, there's a bunch of people here that got taken from their homes. We're going where most of them're staying.

[He hesitates, but y'know what? Beansprout can Deal With It.]

And you could stay with me and my roommate, I guess.

I never had a roommate before. The doctors said I was too dangerous to have one.

[This. This is going to be a new experience. ;; And he didn't seem to mind the fact that she was breaking dolls or looked broken...]

I lack empathy and break things because they're ugly. So they don't want me around anyone.

...That's retarded. How are you supposed to learn empathy, learn anything about people, if you're not around them?

[Once they get to the lobby, he'll kneel down and put his hands on her shoulders.]

Look, kid. As far as I can see, you're just someone who's got a lot to learn about yourself and other people. It's not impossible. Just hard. I'll do my best to help you if you'll do your best to try. Alright?

I destroyed everything. They said it helped with my syndrome.

[Being in Prospero... She didn't feel the effects of it much right now. Which was odd for her. She seemed to be acting like a normal human being, but who knows how long that'd last her. It scared her, if anything. Until Kanda's comfort reached her hand, and she found herself cracking a bit of a broken smile.

She wasn't very good with genuine smiles, because most of her smiles had been caused by sadism.]

... You're not an ugly person. Thank you.

Whatever syndrome it was... it won't bother you here.

[He'll do his best to help her learn to smile properly again. Because something about that broken look in her expression and eyes reminds him so much of himself... of someone from so long ago.]

...Hn. Come on, I'll show you where I live. You can decide if you want your own room or if you wanna stay with us then.

Okay... I trust you.

[Words that are hard for her to mutter in general. The fact that she said it surprised the hell out of her.]

"Us"?

Yeah, my roommate and I.

[He's going to papa bear her forever. No boyfriends til college.]

Told you I have one. Don't worry. He's a stupid beansprout, but he's nice. Just stupid.

Is he ugly? [Ayako will often ask this question until she is fully rehabilitated. She is feeling a bit better already though, just by being here.]
