Oh, the flood. I read about that in the timeline. There were noises back then too, huh?

[ ... that's disturbing. So the mask can develop more cracks even if you don't break it? What causes that? There's another condition that can cause the mask to crack? Hiro won't like this. ]

I see. I ask because my mask is cracked too, and that's because I broke mine. I wasn't aware you could get cracks in it without having broken it. It must be reacting to something else.

[psycholawgy]

Probably... it looks like there are different types of masks, but they don't seem to be because of the elements were aligned to. It's got to be something else.

I also did a bit of research on these masks, but nothing extraordinary came up.

[covenantal]

That's what we're investigating. There are definite connections between certain masks, and the people who have them. Figuring out the pattern is the hardest part. On some of them we're making headway, but others...

What were you looking into?

[psycholawgy]

If the masks was something of a specific being... I tried looking into Aria too, but I found nothing.

[covenantal]

She's pretty mysterious. Not to mention there's two kinds of masks now, too.

Are you getting the sense that whatever is going to happen, it's happening soon?

[psycholawgy]

One for those who went to the fortune teller's booth, and one for those who didn't...

I think so. It's about time something big happened again. I mean, I don't want to admit that I'm always waiting for something to happen, but I've kind of gotten used to it after being here for half a year.

[ He's quiet for a moment, staring down at her text. ]

Are you worried?

[psycholawgy]

A little bit. But I know that in the end, we'll be fine.

We have to be.

[covenantal]

[ He adores her. ]

That's right. We'll make it through this, whatever it takes.

Hey, Athena? Think you could do me a favor?

[psycholawgy]

[ YU STOP. You have a boyfriend?! ]

Anything for you! What do you need?

[covenantal]

[ HE ADORES HER PLATONICALLY, WOW? ]

You're friends with Hiro, aren't you?

[psycholawgy]

[ shhh ]

I am! He's such a cute kid. Why do you ask?

Do you want me to make him buy you cotton candy too?

[covenantal]

[ .. what ]

What? No, that's not important right now. Though, that sounds like a story I might want to hear sometime...

I'm worried about him. If you talk to him in the next few days, look out for him.

[psycholawgy]

I can do that! I'll be the big sister he never had.

What are you worried about, though?

[covenantal]

[ How does he explain without divulging too much? He doesn't want to break Hiro's confidence, but at the same time... ]

I think he's under a lot of stress with everything that's been going on.

[ Something he knows, with a stab of guilt, is partially his fault. ]

Hiro is the sort of person who always tries to fix everything on his own, if he can. He should know he has his friends around him.

[psycholawgy]

[ sounds like somebody she knows. (ie. herself) ]

Don't worry. He'll be fine. I'll make sure to watch over him. :)
