It seems I have been returned.

[Chidori's voice is quiet and impassive as usual, and she's as straight to the point as she's ever been. For a moment though, it seems as if that's all she's going to say, but then she takes a deep breath and continues.]

The world was... not as it was, when I was sent back. It is... concerning, to say the least.
If it is not too much, can anyone tell me roughly how long I was gone?

[Another pause, this one even longer, and then quieter still-]



...Minato. Are you still here?

I know you were. I was going to escape, the second I was well enough.

[And she'd planned to, certainly. Especially with things going the way they had been.]

For as bright as some of them seem like they are, they are foolish and easily led astray.

[She hesitates at that, doesn't quite know how to take that 'us'- but she asks, because she's not the type who wouldn't. Her hand settles on his shoulder, lightly, and she looks at him almost worriedly.]

A chance for us?

[ That is all beside the point. He has to have the courage to say this... ]

... I've been thinking about this place. If people just come back when they die... what's going to happen to us if we stay here?

[ In other words: even if their time runs out, will they just... revive? ]

We do need to go back. But if the others came here... do you think that things would change? Maybe--

[ ... Maybe they could find a cure here? Not just a elongated death sentence. But he doesn't want to give her hope. They had to live without it. ]
