[When the video feed turns on, the image is blurred, as though the phone is being moved fast. Though it soon steadies and focuses on one April leaning against a wall, who looks worn-out and covered in cuts and scrapes, and there's one heavily bleeding wound on her shoulder, but she still manages to give a wry smile.]

So, ah, I'm guessing the newest thing is having your Personas attack you, huh? Ugh, I didn't know they would hit this hard... [There's a slight grimace in pain, before she keeps speaking.] Anyway, I think maybe-

[She's cut off by a bright flash of light which completely obscures the video, and a loud crack, and when the feed clears again, the phone is on the ground a few feet away from April, who is picking herself back up from the ground with a pained groan and a muffled curse. And in front of her is a humanoid rainbow, her Persona. And electricity is already crackling around it again as April gets onto her feet and readies her rifle, glaring up at it.]

Agh, son of a- Fine, c'mon then!

[And it's with another blinding flash of electricity that the feed ends. Any phone replies might be late, due to Persona fighting.]

... I'll be fine!

[ No, Usagi knows she's not strong enough to fight it either, that in this place she doesn't even have any way to fight since her own Persona isn't awakened yet.. but she doesn't want to stand by helplessly, it doesn't feel right. ]

You don't have to worry about me, April-san, I just want to help!

... I won't be able to heal you if you get hurt... [April is naturally protective of the people she cares about, so the idea that Usagi could get hurt is one that April does not approve of.]

... But.. [ a slightly awkward laugh, yeah, she can't really do this in any convincing way. ] .. what if I maybe don't get hurt?

That would mean staying away from me and Iris, since she seems pretty intent on killing me. [Said so casually.]

... Come on, April-san..! I just-- I just want to help you out! You're a nice person, and you're my friend, so.. I don't want you to get hurt either!

[That stuns her into silence, and for a few moments there's no reply. Then the video shifts to show an old building apparently across the street from April.]

... I-I'm by this building, just outside the Business District... Be careful.

[ It's a little of a relief, even if she feels bad for her outburst, but.. she nods, and then turns off the phone. She manages to run to close to where April pointed her to, but then she gets more careful.. almost more sneaking around and trying to make sure there isn't anything particularly dangerous right around the corner while she's trying to find the other person. ]

[Usagi will probably be able to hear the sound of electricity and gunshots nearby, along with April cursing in annoyance before running again.

And almost running right into Usagi.] Ack!

[ Oh god, Usagi, remain on your feet for once, this is not a moment to trip-- after some wobbling she manages to remain upright, a small victory. ]

April-san..! Here you are!

Usagi! [April quickly glances behind her, and then grabs Usagi's wrist, pulling her along as she moves again.] We need to put more distance between us and Iris!

Ah-- [ Before she realises it, she's already dragged along - but that's for the best, otherwise the Persona might just have gotten to her first.. She at least tries her best to run along. ]

It's coming for us right now..?!

Yeah, it is. So we really have to find somewhere to hide! [Run, run, run!]

[ Running right after - Usagi doesn't feel sticking around near a vicious Persona gone wild, thanks.. ]

Do you have any idea where it won't find us, April-san..?

No idea. Since it's still a part of me, it'll probably be able to track me down anywhere.

No way..! There has to be some place you can rest up without having to run around like this constantly!

If there is, I don't know about it. All I can do right now is try to fight it off and run when it catches up to me.

.. Hmm, I know, but.. I won't give up trying to look for it, April-san..! And even then, I'll stay with you if I have to until this is over!

It isn't fair for anyone to have to be alone during this.

[Blink, blink at her. But then she smiles softly.] Thank you, Usagi.

[And now just gonna pull her into a nearby alley.] We should be safe here, for now.

[ Give Usagi a moment, she's too busy catching her breath.. ]

That's good, I won't know for how long I'll last trying to outrun that thing..!
