[Kyoko appears on the screen. She's obviously shaken by the last pair of network posts that preceded hers, but more than that, she's really pissed off (or, more likely, she's turned her fear and confusion into anger.)]

What the Hell was that? That girl..she just ate her own companion, didn't she? She just ate him like he was piece of meat! Even though he hadn't done a single thing wrong...! What the Hell does she mean, "rotten!?" The only thing rotten here is her!

[She clenches her teeth and reaches to end the feed, then suddenly stops. She didn't really care about Dax, but she thinks, probably, he was the only one she came close to liking, but more than that? It's infuriating to see someone betray their companion like that.]

Ruana! You're watching to this, aren't you!? So why don't you show yourself already! Tell us all about how you used to pray to keep your soul while going around and stealing everyone else's. That's the real point of all this, right!? You were never interested in saving anyone to begin with!

Seriously, whatever the Hell it means to lose your Tower in this place, you deserve it! Denying people even death, stuffing them into bodies that they don't want and killing them just for fun, doing things like that to your own companions--I hope somebody years your heart and soul out, you disgusting waste of space. Nobody here needs your kind of salvation.

As for the rest of you, I could care less about what you think of this post. If you ain't got anything useful to say, don't even bother.

[ He looks like he's about to say something, but... he falls silent. He's been in shock this entire time. ]

What? Spit it out already!

[She snaps quickly, but even through her anger it's clear to see how much this is all bothering her.]

How... how can she do something so awful?

[ He's seen some pretty fucked up things during the Survival Game. People getting blown up right in front of him with explosives. Yuno hacking people twice her size to pieces with anything sharp and/or pointy she can get her hands on with little effort. A little kid killing people. Dogs tearing people up with their teeth. But that? That?

That was high-octane nightmare fuel, and Yukiteru Amano's standards for that are pretty high at this point. ]

[It's the same for Kyoko, really. She's found her family dead, her closest friend turned into a Witch, reduced to feed for new magical girls, all on top of the monsters she fought to fight every day. She tells herself that nothing can be worse than what she's already seen.

And yet, sometimes they still are.]

I don't want to think about what it is that lets her treat people like that. No matter what he did, there was no reason to go that far!

[She shakes her head. She's trembling a little, despite herself.]

She's sick.

[ Story of his life, Kyoko. Well. Minus the witches. What Ruana did was something straight of one of his nightmares, and after all he's seen, it takes a lot to make him truly terrified. He may have been toughened up quite a bit, but that? That was pure insanity. ]

I... I hope Yuno's okay.

I don't know how anyone could be, after seeing something like that.

[A slight pause.]

Maybe you oughta check up on her.

[For his own sake, really.]

[ A sigh. ]

I hate to say it, but unless it has something to do with me... there isn't a whole lot that can upset her. [ He's just being honest. He meant 'okay' as in physically unharmed, but if that upset him as much as it did... well... it's entirely possible that cannibalism is something that even Yuno would find absolutely disgusting. ]

Yeah. Okay. [ He takes out his Diary. Both to see if she's okay using that, and to find her, so he can ask in person. ]

...Tch.

[She looks like she wants to bite back at that comment. It's not that anything Yukiteru is saying is wrong, but it rubs her the wrong way. The sight's left her completely on edge. She refrains in the interest of getting to the more important point,]

Anyone with half a brain can figure out who her next victim's are gonna be. If not the rest of her pack of dogs, it's gonna be us, y'know! Whichever one it ends up being...she's just gonna keep working her way up the ladder. She'll consume everything until there's nothing left.

[She shakes her head, frustration clear on her face.]

If she's not at least worried about how that girl's gonna follow that one up, then there's something wrong.

[ Yeah, it's... not something he'd be thrilled to hear confirmed either, but it's the truth. Yuno didn't bat an eyelash at much, but if it involved him getting hurt? Watch out. ]

Y-Yeah... I know. This place terrifies me, and that video... [ He's trying not to be sick. ]

I think she is. Just... not for that reason.
