[ VIDEO ]

Um...

[ Sertoria holds up her tattered tunics one at a time to the camera - a few of them have old bloodstains, others look torn and tattered in a few areas.

She's in her robe while addressing the camera, so thankfully she's not completely exposed. ]

Would someone mind repairing these for me? I cannot offer any monetary compensation, but I can always gather materials or do any jobs you may have for me.

I'm in room 1-03 if you would like to take my measurements if these are too destroyed to work with.

Thank you very much if you are willing to do this for me.

Homura it is, then.

I have not learned how to. The robe I am wearing has been repaired by others, as well as my tunics.

Perhaps you should ask those helping you to teach you.

I am always open to learning new things. Perhaps you would like to teach me how to sew?

... I suppose I could spare some time for that, sure.

Thank you. When and where should I meet you?

Where is the most convenient place for you?

Anywhere. The workshop may be best.

Mm, that would be fine.

Ah. Your name?

Oh, my apologies! I am Sertoria Cani, Homura. It is a pleasure to meet you.

Good to meet you.

That name sounds... Western? [ Look at this casual smalltalk! She should at least try not to be a jerk. ]

You as well.

I believe some people will say the origins are Latin. My world does not use the term Western, so I would need some additional information.

[ Hooray! Sertoria's happy about that. ]

[ Wow, Sertoria's answer was not what she expected. Homura is quiet for a moment as she fights her curiosity and her tunnel vision.

Curiosity wins. ]

Does your home not have East and West?

[ Quaeda is a strange, but lovely, planet that Sertoria fights hard to protect. ]

It does, but names are usually just one, like Joshua. If you have a last name, you must be some form of royalty or an elder.

I see. So they are a status symbol in your country? Last names? And you have one?

[ Homura is quite intrigued. It sounds like a fantasy world society she might read about it a book. ]

Affirmative, last names are a status symbol. Fortunately, I am not royalty or have power back home. Apparently, my friend saw fit to give me a last name.

A friend did...? [ She wants to ask more about that friend, but bites her tongue on that one. ] What is your home called?

Joshua, my savior. [ She's open to talk about him a lot. ] Quaeda, a place I call home.

[ She doesn't even know what to ask about next... But she can relate to Joshua slightly. A friend... a savior. ]

I see. Mm. It's nice to have a friend like that, isn't it?

[ She doesn't mind. It's better than talking mindlessly about some stuff, in her opinion. ]

It is, especially for someone to fight for you like he did.

I hope he is presently well. You... must miss him, while here.

He is dead, but he never leaves my memory.

[ Well now Homura feels like a jerk. ]

I... I'm sorry to hear it. That's... [ Horrible. She knows how much it hurts. Losing Madoka and her friends is what trapped Homura in this hopeless cycle, after all.

Yet somehow Sertoria doesn't sound or act like the broken mess Homura has been becoming. ]

You're strong.

[ Sertoria hurts a lot from his departure, but she's focused on carrying on his message to people who needed guidance.

So, she smiles and shakes her head slightly. ]

Strong, maybe, but I have had years to heal from it. I will see him again someday.

You will?

Of course. Why should I lose hope this early? I know it is illogical, but I will not allow myself to give up this easily.
