June 16, 1999 -- later in the day

[all_onis_are_true]

[The call came to Alice later that evening. It's Hiroshi, and he sounds... unnerved.]

...I know what you did. I know you got to them all. I don't know how, and I don't know why, but...

Stay away from me. I am entirely ready to defend myself if need be.

[And then he hangs up. That's... unnerving.]

Wait, Souji's dead? Did Shigetsuna-sama's bear eat him?

[Maya wasn't in a position to stop the door from closing, but after it does she starts pounding on it again.]

W-wait! What do you mean "The Ninth is dead"? What does that mean?! Hiroshi?

[....]

[He doesn't answer, but it sounds like he's pushing something heavy against the door. What the hell?]

[itwasfeyt]

Hiroshi!

[...]

I... hope you're okay.

[she glances back at Maria.]

I don't think we can do much now.

[happyhalloween]

Let's call the President! Tell her Hiroshi has a hundred demerits!

[itwasfeyt]

I don't think that's going to work, Maria.

[with a troubled expression, and one last glance back at the house door, Maya started walking.]

Let's go back home. I need to ask Mia some things.

[happyhalloween]

[Maria pads after Maya.]

We should tell the President anyway. Maria can call her on Maya-oneesan's telephone.
