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.]

[In the background:] What's she saying? Who was rude? Can Maria give him demerits?

[itwasfeyt]

[Aside to Maria:] It's Hiroshi. She thinks something's wrong with him.

[Back to Alice:] Did anything else happen?

[independent_dollmaker]

That was it so far, I suppose, but isn't that enough? I think I was just threatened over the phone.

[itwasfeyt]

Yeah....

It's weird. Do you want me to go talk to him or something?

[independent_dollmaker]

I'd do it myself, but he seems to have something against me. I think if I went to talk to him, I'd only make things worse.

[itwasfeyt]

Okay! Don't worry, Alice. The Marvelous Maya will do her best to fix this mess. Hiroshi's probably just freaked out by Souji's disappearance.

[independent_dollmaker]

Thank you. I hope you're right.

[happyhalloween]

Maria's coming too! Maria's gonna give Hiroshi demerits if he's mean!

[itwasfeyt]

Are you sure, Maria? It might not be safe for someone like you.

[happyhalloween]

If Maya-oneesan is going, Maria's going too. And Tomosuke.

[itwasfeyt]

......Okay!

Just, stay behind me, alright? Hiroshi can be kind of loud, and I don't want anything accidently happening to Maria-chan.

[happyhalloween]

Uu! Maria will stand behind Maya-oneesan!
