[ At noon sharp every gummi phone rings. It will keep ringing until otherwise answered but the sound stays consistent.

Immediately after they pick up, all they will hear is something pleasant on the other end. No other sounds can be heard except for this. The call cannot be disconnected until the song ends but they may not want to as the longer it goes on, the more hope, peace and bravery they will feel. It's a gentle, soothing process from start to finish and the feeling lingers for several hours.

When the song ends, the phone will beep twice. Download complete.

One new contact has been added: ▒▒▒▒▒ ]

[ The moment that the song ends is the same second that Iori seems to panic --

Having the negative emotions that she had washed away like that just doesn't sit right with her. The warm, bright emotions that she feels at the end of the song just reminds her of things that she doesn't like thinking about.

Even if it's some sort of healing, she's so tired.

So very tired of having her heart tugged back and forth like this. That's why nobody has to know. Nobody can find out.

If she acts fine--

With that in mind, she sends the message right at the mysterious contact. ]

Who is this?

[captive_aiding]

[ There is no name attached at all merely ▒▒▒▒▒ and this icon with the response. ]

An o▒▒ fri▒▒nd.

[livefreely]

[ Thankfully, what shows up is kind of garbled, but the text is at least easily understood by her in spite of the absence of all the letters. ]

I can't tell anything by that much!

I have a lot of friends, so you could be anybody. You need to give me a better hint!

[captive_aiding]

Help?

[captive_aiding]

To ch▒▒▒▒ the fut▒▒▒.

[livefreely]

[ She pauses a little bit, squinting at the text before trying to think about someone who would say something like this... ]

IS THIS CRATE-SAN

ARE YOU OKAY

[captive_aiding]

[ There is no confirmation or denial. Only these last two words. ]

Be ex▒ra▒rd▒na▒y.

[ With that, the contact blinks out of Iori's list. ]

[livefreely]

[ When the contact disappears, a part of her wants to scream wait-- but she knows nobody will hear her or see it.

The text is obvious in spite of the glitching between the letters.

'Be extraordinary.'

It's something that she doesn't know how to feel about, if only because having someone tell her what to do, who to be... it just doesn't... she can't do that.

She can't do what other people expect her to do. ]
