-The voice on the other end is quiet and nervous sounding. And while her English is good, it slips because of said nervousness. Still, she manages.-

I never had a fancy phone before coming to the school. It's kind of neat how connected it makes me feel. I can read stuff, hear stuff, see stuff, kind of catch a glimpse into the lives of people around me.

It's kind of like what I used to do anyways, just watching life from the outside looking in...

A-anyways, most people call me 'Shadow'. -'Kagerou; was the name her mother gave her... it didn't feel right having strangers use it.- I just got here a few days ago... It's nice to meet everyone...

-And for Sakuya, Kagerou doesn't mind turning on the video. She trusts her.-

So far... I haven't taken my hood off around others yet, but... I'm getting there.

Some people here are furry all the time, and seem happy... I kind of envy them.

[blooming_resonance]

[Kagerou can't see it, but seeing the video does make Sakuya smile. It changes her tone of voice appropriately, at least.] No? Well... I hope you will feel comfortable enough to... do as such soon. Especially as you have said; there are others that are comfortable and happy with their... physically obvious mutations.

But still, take your time. No use... rushing anything.

Do we need to make any other... arrangements for you?

[soundandfurry]

Well, no, but... Can we just hang out, anyways?

[blooming_resonance]

Hang out? [It's not that the term is unfamiliar to her, despite the sometimes questionable grasp on English she seems to have.]

Well, my office is open during all normal hours and... unless someone else is in there... you're free to come by at any time.

[soundandfurry]

Sorry if it sounds weird... I mean, I guess it's because I feel comfortable around you.

[blooming_resonance]

[She has that effect on people.]

I don't know that it sounds strange... but you are still, of course, welcome... whenever you may feel the need to come and see me in my office.

I would prefer if you not spend... all... your free time here, however. You need to make connections your own age, as well.

[soundandfurry]

Yeah yeah... I dunno, though. It's weird. I can't relate to some of these other kids.

[blooming_resonance]

It's alright if you don't... relate... to all of them. One does not necessarily need... a lot of friends to feel fulfilled.

Perhaps you'll come to like more of them in time.

[soundandfurry]

Maybe... We'll see, anyways. For now, I just wanna do what feels comfortable. Until I can get some confidence, I guess.

[blooming_resonance]

That's... fair enough. [There's a little noise as Sakuya nods.]

As I said... you may come in any time... I'm not already speaking with someone else. [She pauses, then there's a little laugh, and the smile is evident in her voice.] I also spoke to the Gesshou Shrine. Something should be coming... soon.

[soundandfurry]

Oh! Oh oh! How exciting! I can hardly wait!

[blooming_resonance]

[Sakuya chuckles gently.] Of course. I'll be sure to have it... Forwarded to you when it arrives.

If I send it in the early morning... Will you be in your room still?

[soundandfurry]

-Hrk. That meant she couldn't sneak outside again...-

Y-yeah. I'll be there.

[blooming_resonance]

[That's the point.]

Good. Then I'll have it... Delivered when it arrives. [Might have it done a day or two after it arrives, too.]

[soundandfurry]

I can't wait!

Though... I mean, you could deliver it yourself, right?

[blooming_resonance]

We'll see how things go when it... Arrives. I may, or I may be too busy. I will try, however.

[soundandfurry]

Thanks! I'll definitely make sure the place is presentable...

[blooming_resonance]

Very well. I'll talk to you more then... unless you come by and visit first.
