1st ♥ [ video / action ]
[ Action ♥ Residents of Room 02-05 ]
[ Homura woke with a start. Last she remembers, she was going to sleep and expecting to attend her new school tomorrow. Fresh from one timeline to the next. Her determination is worn plainly on her face, overtaking the confusion that comes with waking in a new environment. Adjusting all too quickly, she slips out of the bed and snatches up the letters. Reading the first one, rereading those simple words over and over, before finally lowering the paper. ]
This can't be.... [ Her heart drops like a rock. That can't be. It makes no sense!
... But it does, actually, doesn't it? After seeing Madoka's soul gem taint again, it makes sense. Homura covers her face, sobbing into her hands for only a few seconds before drawing in a deep breath. ] Madoka... Everyone... [ She has yet to notice her roommates as she tries to wipe her eyes and get a grip. ]
[ Video ♥ ]
[ A calm facial expression betrays Homura's feelings. True, she's gathered some courage to keep herself relatively calm, but her heart has been ripped to shreds by this possibility. Even so, there's still hope. She reminds herself, over and over, that it's not over yet. ]
I am Homura Akemi. I am a new arrival. I have read both of my letters and have an understanding of the situation.
[ A pause. Debating. She never properly "started" her last timeline beyond being released from the hospital, so if the other girls are here then they might not recognize her. Calling out their names would be strange. ] I am from Mitaikihara in Japan. I'd like to know if anyone from home has also been 'saved'.
[ She brushes her hair behind her shoulder, a seemingly confident gesture that is actually just a nervous tick. ] How long have you all been here? And how many of you believe that letter?

[Keeping as many people informed of the goings on of the Tower is a top priority, after all. But even so, as the subject shifts, she relaxes somewhat, giving a small, polite smile to Homura.]
A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Homura. I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule.
no subject
[ She gives a calm nod, an abbreviated bow. ]
I also sorry to go back to this topic, but you mentioned being here seven months. Is that the longest anyone has been here?
no subject
[And honestly, she's rather relieved that Homura is taking that piece of information so calmly. It's a nice change of pace from those who panic and flounder about formalities. There are more important matters at hand, after all.
She shakes her head.]
But no, it is not, to my knowledge. Unfortunately, I cannot give a precise answer to how long our captors have been "saving" people, but I do know that it has been for quite a bit longer than I have been here.
no subject
[ Worlds can't be ending in a chain for all of eternity... well, they could be, but Homura thinks that is too convenient. ]
Still, seven months is a long time. Far too long for someone to be taken from their home.
no subject
[At that last comment, however, she can't help a sad, wry sort of smile. It is a long time, yes, but...]
A usurper once sent me into exile for seven years. I suppose, in a way, I am better equipped to handle it than most.
no subject
[ Homura knows her world has a quick ticket to ending... but Madoka hasn't been approached by Kyuubey yet. It's too soon. ]
Exile...? [ She snaps out of her self-pity party. ] I'm sorry to hear that.
no subject
[... Homura isn't telling her something. But they all have their secrets, and she won't pry. Especially since they've only just met.
Zelda shakes her head, forcing the sadness from her smile.]
Thank you, but it is alright. That is in the past, now, and it is better to think on the future, hm?
no subject
I will not accept an unhappy future, even here.
no subject
[And she means that. Homura's determination reminds her a bit of another young child - one who would not give up despite time itself being against him.]
