U-um.. hey everyone!

[ Long time no see on the network, right? Not that Nanako has really been feeling up to it lately, not with Souji being gone from this place. But she's slowly been recovering now, so here's her big return, apparently. (Not that it means she's any less shy, considering she's still seeming a bit nervous over all of this. ]

I had a question.. I was thinking about something, but.. I couldn't figure it out on my own! So I thought maybe I should ask everyone here.. [ she nods a little to herself, as if to encourage herself to go on. ] Since big bro might come back anytime now, [ Yosuke told her he'd come back and she believes it, okay!! ] I want to make some drawings for him for when he comes back, so he can be happy with all of us again! But the problem is.. [ a nervous giggle. ] I don't know what to draw. I first thought I should draw mister unicorn, but he already has a lot of pictures of him by now!

So.. does anyone maybe have an idea?

[ don't leave this cute girl here helpless, people. ]

[ When the feed starts, it's not directed at Nanako's face. Instead it's sitting on the table, so you can instead see Nanako sitting at said table, bent over a piece of paper. Her face is mostly hidden by her hair at the angle the communicator is at, but it seems she's focused on drawing something on the paper. ]

Um.. This sunday is the third sunday of June, right? And.. the third sunday of June is Father's Day!

[ Even as she speaks up she doesn't look at the camera, but her tone at the very least sounds pretty enthusiastic. ]

So I thought that even though Dad isn't here, I should make him a present! It's still Father's Day, after all.. And I thought he'd might like a drawing. I've gotten real good because I've been drawing so many pictures here of mister unicorn and everything else!

[ There's a slight pause as she adds some more scribbles on the paper. ]

That's right.. Even if Dad isn't here, he would still like a present.. and he'd like me to have fun.. right?

[ Slowly but surely the scribbling stops, at about the same rate the enthusiasm disappears from her voice and is rather left with something hollow, something that's oh so very clearly sad even if she tries to put up a tough front as usual. ]

S-so.. [ There's a pause where she's obviously struggling to find words. ] Hmm...

[ She quickly reaches over to the device, turning off the feed. ]

[ When the feed starts there's first a brief pause before she speaks up, her voice shaky but obviously she's trying too hard to keep some kind of control over it. It's not working. ]

I want to go home..

[ There are bad dreams and bad dreams, and last night's was definitely the latter kind. If the whole stream of sights hadn't been bad enough already there had been something in there that had belonged to her personally, not to mention the glimpses of other familiar people. ]

I.. want to see dad again.. And th-- Mom..

[ She hics and there's a suppressed sob before she goes on. ]

P-please..

[ There's silence for quite a bit with just some quiet natural background noise, but then a gasp can clearly be heard. ] T-this place, where--? ... ... Heaven..?

[ The sound of someone standing up and then footsteps resounding against the stones. ]

But if it's heaven, then I.. ... Hmm.. [ The voice sounds a bit more doutful as the footsteps halt for a moment before continuing on. ]

Mom? [ The voice definitely sounds more excited. ] Mom! Mom, I'm here! It's me!

[ The excitement echoes away as she starts to sound a bit more insecure. The footsteps stop too, leaving a painful silence behind. ] Mom..? You're here, right? You're not hiding, are you..? You don't want to see me?

[ After a moment of silence she speaks up again. ] Dad? [ The voice gets softer and a tad more desperate too. ] Big bro?
