[ and today on the network there is simply a ~voice~, perhaps familiar perhaps not. it's airy and laced with a bit of playfulness. ]

Mm... It almost feels like I travelled back in time. [ you can almost hear the smile and the laugh. sorry she just can't turn off that teasing. ]

Should I ask where I am, just for old time's sake? [ a beat. ] Though I suppose I've taken the surprise out of it already.

[ and, finally, a small chuckle. ]

How is everyone?

[ it's with those final words that she finally shuts off the device. ]

[ . . . well, that's an actual answer she wasn't thinking about. ]

Confused?

Because, you sound like you know this place!

Mm, I do.

[ she doesn't remember seeing this one around before, so she figures... new person? ]

I was here before.

-- Why are you back?!

I'm afraid I can't quite explain the "why". [ paaause. ] Someone's idle whim, maybe?

If they're dragging people back... the road to Top Idol is a lot harder than I'd prepared myself for...

I wouldn't worry too much about it. People coming back is a little rarer than I make it seem like.

Thank goodness!

[ extreme mood-jumps, this one. ]

[ it's endearing... and here's a chuckle. ]

I didn't mean to scare you.

It's okay! I guess I should say 'welcome back', though!

I appreciate that.

Your confusion's settled down now, right?

My mind's as clear as a goldfish bowl, ma'am!!

[ ... small laugh. really cute. ]

Is that clear enough to tell me your name?

Of course it is! [ matter-of-fact. ] My name's Ai Hidaka! What's yours?

Ai... I'll remember that. [ not hard to remember, anyway. ] Judith.

Nice to meet you, Judith-san!!!!!!
