Nozomi stands at the edge of a virtual forest clearing, violet hair swaying as she fidgets with her sleeve. Her green eyes dart upward briefly before she murmurs, voice soft but earnest.

U-uh… hello. I didn’t expect to see anyone here. If you’re looking for Subaru… I think we’re all still figuring out how to be together again. She pauses, then adds hurriedly. I-I mean, I’m glad you’re here. Maybe… maybe we can help each other?
