[The feed almost seems to have clicked on accidentally, but for the first few moments the view shakes rapidly, settling on the empty sky and one of the warehouses. The sound of footsteps comes across, and soon enough a young man is staring down at the phone's camera.]

What's this?

[He gives it a few moments of consideration, turning it over and examining it.]

...I'd better hold on to it.

[With that, he pockets it, but the video is still going...]

[ecthelion]

I've never heard of it... how did I get here?

[The Isle of Goriate didn't collapse underneath him or something, did it?]

[technologic]

[She rubs the back of her neck and gives him a sheepish look.] You're not the first one to have never have heard of it. And you were brought here by whatever is behind all this, though, um, we don't know who that is yet.

[ecthelion]

And we can go back when we figure it out?

[technologic]

Maybe! Though that might take a while, since... well, trying to get information hasn't been easy.

[ecthelion]

So it might be a while?

[technologic]

... More than likely. Some of us have been stuck here for a year already, and we still haven't found out much.

[ecthelion]

That long...

[technologic]

... Yeah. I've been here for almost a year now, myself. [She looks a bit somber for a moment, but she quickly shakes her head.] But we will find a way out of here, I'm sure of it.

... Ah, sorry, I should introduce myself, huh? I'm April.

[ecthelion]

My name's Ein. It's nice to meet you April!

[technologic]

Ein... [Well, she's certainly heard that name somewhere before. But she's quick to give him a smile back.] It's nice to meet you too, Ein!

... If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?

[ecthelion]

Oh, I'm from Asgard. Why are you asking that?

[technologic]

... Because I've heard about an Ein who might also be from Asgard. [She pauses and thinks to herself.]

... Do... you know what a Grim Angel is?

[ecthelion]

You've... heard of me?

[How could dis happen?!]

[technologic]

Y-you're the Ein Ledah talked about! And the one he took the hit for!

[She pauses for a few moments.]

... What's the last thing that happened to you before you got here?

[ecthelion]

I'd passed judgment on Hector.

[technologic]

[She gives a quiet sigh of relief.] Ah, I-I'm glad to hear it. From what I heard, he was a complete bastard.

[ecthelion]

Well, he tried to destroy a world. I'm not sure what that has to do with what you were talking about, but it had to be done.

[technologic]

... I, ah, just wanted to know, since Ledah has pretty much told me everything. Including the trying to destroy a world and wanting to become a god thing.

So, even though I've never met him, I'm glad you took him down.

[ecthelion]

It was what he deserved.

[technologic]

Yeah, it was.

... Though if you don't mind me asking, what happened to Malice?

[ecthelion]

She's also dead. She grabbed Cierra and then told Hector to kill her...

[technologic]

I see...

... Cierra is your friend, I'm guessing... Is she alright?

[ecthelion]

...

No.

[technologic]

... I-I'm sorry... I shouldn't have pried...

[ecthelion]

It's fine. You didn't know.
