Hi, everyone. It's me, Yukiko.

I wanted to check on everyone who was on the machine the other day. Are you all right? I hope the nightmares haven't been too bad.

If there's anything I can d--

[One second, Yukiko is there, talking into the terminal screen. The next second, she's gone. The terminal keeps recording, though all it catches is ambient background noise and video from the terminal bank in the dorms.

She'll eventually be back to answer any 'where the heck did you go?' inquiries, but it won't be before the terminal cuts off.]

Me?

[Veronica shrugs.]

F-fine, I g-guess? I've popped out and b-back once already. It only lasted a f-few m-minutes though.

You don't sound fine...

[Yukiko looks worried.]

It was around 20 minutes for me this time. I guess it varies. Still, like someone's already told me, you shouldn't push yourself too hard.

I-I'm just t-trying to get through t-the day.

[She sighed, tugging at a handful of her cloak.]

I've b-been r-really tired for some r-reason.

I know what you mean there, too. It's like I can't quite get enough sleep. That started after getting hooked up to the machine, too.

...I don't have my magic right now, but when I do, I can try casting a healing spell, see if that can help?

And I've b-been l-losing some of m-my skills. I'm n-not p-performing as w-well as I should.

[Oh yeah, magic. That's still a thing.]

Y-you try that, see if it helps y-you.

What do you mean? If you got your collar fluid changed, that would do it, but only if you switched to the new one...

[Oops. Probably should've filtered that.]

I should have some of it back soon. I want to try and help if I can, though, if that's okay...

[Good thing Veronica knows what to do.]

The n-new c-collar fluid? I haven't s-switched t-to that y-yet. Not s-sure if I-I should.

I think I j-just n-need more rest. I-I'll be fine.

I felt like I needed to. My powers are linked to me in kind of a funny way, and I'd rather it not be glamour.

Are you sure? If you need anything, I'd be glad to help out.
