[Video]

[It takes a moment for Meiling to realize that the video was on but she doesn't look like she's all there right now. Both the video and someone going missing just hit her hard and she looks quite lost.]

What...What was...

I don't understand why.....Never mind. I'll just go to think.

[She then shakes her head and turns it off. She's going to stick around the terminal for a bit and then take off to the Graveyard floor to sit quietly]

[ What Meiling is suggesting is outrageous-- to even think about harming Remilia! Her next words would be harsh but...

they're here at the grave now. Instead, she continues to speak coldly. ] You won't have to worry about harming her any more.

[Still has the same effect on her right now as she at least looks to Sakuya. She looks away sharply, as if she had been slapped but keeps anything she was about to stay silent. She just kneels at the grave and bows her head, hands folded in her lap.]

I will never forgive myself for that night, In control or not.

[In a quieter voice, she speaks to the headstone]

I know I've failed once more...I told you I'd protect you here and anywhere else...Forgive me Mistress...Remilia

[ Sakuya tries to understand. Tries to put herself in Meiling's shoes. But it's all for naught, because harming her mistress in such a way is something she'd only dream about in years past, back when she was still hunting vampires. ] We must not let this happen again.

I understand Sakuya-san...

[She isn't expecting anything at the moment, if at all. She's just going to be silent, staring at the grave. Not planning on leaving until her Security shift and even then, returning just to sit and guard.]

[ It's a bit easier for Sakuya; she only has maid work to do, and that can be completed whenever. She'll be staying here for a little bit longer, of course, and then she'll leave. It's not Meiling, it just that... well, she can't think of her Mistress as dead. Doesn't want to. ]
