[ The bob of pink appearing on the screen is much different from the first time. The last time she posted, she had been confused, but how the look on her face is rather worn and uncomfortable. There's a smile on her face, but the dejection and failure, too, is leaking from her picture on the terminal. ]

U-um! Excuse me...? I-I'm really sorry to ask but.. i-if it won't bother anyone, can you please tell me what's going on? I-it seems rather chaotic in the tower, if not m-more so. Did the administrators do something?

I'm really sorry! I just woke up, s-so.... S-sorry to be an inconvenience to everybody! I j-just need the basics.. you don't need to go into d-detail...

Thank you so much. [ And here she gives a little bow. ]

... Is something going on..?

[ Urotsuki is way too oblivious for her own good, so she just blinks as if nothing is wrong. ]

Did you see something weird, Madoka-chan?

[madokacries]

A-ah, um... well...

It just feels more stressful here? I'm not sure if it's just me or....

[chainsawn]

Maybe it's just you.. [ No, it's not, Urotsuki. ] I mean.. I don't think I've seen anything really weird.

[madokacries]

Hmmmm... I guess that's possible too... Maybe I'm just disoriented from waking up.

[chainsawn]

They usually say that if you get off the wrong side of the bed, you need to go back and try it again from the other side.. I'm sure that'll help. [ Even if it's just one of Urotsuki's ridiculous ideas. ]

[madokacries]

N-next time, then. I'll b-be sure to do that.

[chainsawn]

You don't want to go back and try now?

[madokacries]

I'm a-awake now... s-so... it'd be kind of hard for me to g-get back to sleep.

[chainsawn]

It's actually pretty easy. [ When you're Urotsuki, that is.. she falls asleep the moment she lies down. ] But even if you're not sleepy, you can just knock yourself out. Then you'll sleep too.

[madokacries]

U-um... L-let's not do that n-needlessly...

[chainsawn]

Why not? If you really want to sleep, then that's the easy way.

[madokacries]

U-um, it f-feels like a waste if I j-just went back to sleep...

[chainsawn]

"Waste"? [ Welp, there we go, this is a concept Urotsuki totally can't understand. ]

How would sleep be a waste..? You can see nice dreams.

[madokacries]

U-um...

[ She doesn't want to say anything about the last dream she saw. ]

[chainsawn]

.. "Um"? Was that the name of the dream you saw? Sounds a little boring..

[madokacries]

N-no.. um.. I d-don't name my dreams...

[chainsawn]

Why don't you..? I mean, it's the easier way to keep them apart. Otherwise you'll need to give a super long description, like "that one dream where I died since I was eaten by some huge red thing that was probably hungry"..

[ She's totally normal. ]

[madokacries]

... Um... How about "the dream in which I went home?"

[chainsawn]

I guess that's pretty simple.

But even then, there's a lot of variants of it. Like.. it doesn't say if it's "the dream in which I went home and had a cookie" or "the dream in which I went home riding on a dinosaur".

[madokacries]

U-uh.... how about, "the dream in which I went home for the first time since arriving in the Tower?"

[chainsawn]

.. Hm.. I think it works. [ She nods a little to herself. ] Although it doesn't say much about what happens during the dream, right? There's a lot of stuff you could do back home.

[ Not when the world is destroyed, Urotsuki.. ]
