[ At 9PM on the 1st, all phones or Retrospec-enabled devices will show flickering screens, until a static-filled image appears. It seems to be a security camera shot, in black and white from a high angle, of a simple computer room. Inside is Joanne Wiseman who many of the users may recognize - she looks young, blonde curls loose around her shoulders, and she also looks tired still.

A young man who looks only slightly older than her comes in. He's dark-haired with a sweater and glasses, but a white labcoat that matches hers as well. Maurice comes over to stand nearby, watching the screen Joanne is looking at.

Neither of them seem to realize they're being recorded. Joanne looks up, and speaks first. ]

Did R and D know anything?

[ Maurice shakes his head, says: ] No. They can't track them down either - it's almost as if...

[ Joanne: ] They have to be somewhere.

[ Maurice: ] Jim's trying to figure it out. You know we don't have anyone better at...ah, "creative" solutions?

[ Joanne: ] No, I know, just...what if their souls are just, just -

[ Maurice: ] I don't think they're gone. I mean - well, they're gone, but I don't think they're gone? You remember August, the one before last. They're, uh, pretty tough?

[ Joanne: ] We're usually able to at least try to help them when we can, though!

[ Maurice: ] Jo - look, we're doing everything we can. We'll find them.

[ Joanne: ] Before they do?

[ Maurice: ] Right. I mean...we have to, don't we?

[ They both look worried. Before they do was said with a certain inflection - and hey, Retrospec. It looks like the employees have lost track of you for the month. How do you feel about that one? ]

As of this post, character usernames are back to being their own names - or rather, characters will be prompted to put in their name as a boot screen loads. Now's your chance to change your preferred name, Retrospecters - but it appears whatever you put in will be locked in as your choice. Hope you didn't put in something ridiculous!

Make it -- eh? Um. You don't have to? I mean. We're fine, so.

[Sakura is still unused to the idea of gifts outside of her birthday and holidays. Let alone this. She and Xiaolang were fine now.]

You're way too kind Sakura. I tried to turn you into a ghost/slime monster and then i provoked your werewolf boyfriend. There must be something that can make up for it.

Well, um. If you really want, I can ask Xiaolang-kun what he wants to do for our next date. I'm just glad we're all back to normal again now.

[Sakura, you are so pure! It's not fair!]

Yes, go ahead and ask him. When you figure it out, I'll send it to you via Bronte.

Again, I am really sorry!

I'll let you know what he says. Where he wants to go. Then I'll keep an eye out for the owl.

It's not your fault though. Really.

You're very forgiving Sakura. Thank you.

You weren't the only one. Besides, it's....easier to forgive than spend energy hating someone or something. At least, I think. No point being upset or mad about everything. Especially when we are fine now.

You are very wise for your young age Sakura. :)

Wise? Ah, I don't know about that. I just heard it takes more muscles in your face to frown than smile. Or something like that, so.

Modest too. There should be more people with your positive mindset. I would have a lot less people mad at me, that's for sure.

People are mad? But it's not like you were really....yourself. And a lot of others were infected too.

Not everyone is as forgiving as you Sakura. Some people hold grudges and refuse to see past a person's mistakes and refuse to accept the apology. And I'm also referring to things that happened prior to last month.

Things that happened before you were infected? Like what?

Oh, you don't have to worry your pretty little head about it.

[Mainly because it makes him look like a complete dick, and he would rather not spread that image thank you.]

I can't help?

As appreciative as that is Sakura, you don't want to. It's stupid adult drama you don't need to worry about. Just let me know when you figure out where you want to go on a date, and I'll get you a gift card for you and Xiaolang.

Stupid adult drama? If you say so. I'll talk to Xiaolang-kun and let you know.
