Fifth Song | Video | August 12, Afternoon

[Karina's at the training ground and the camera is fixed at a training dummy that seems to have been frozen over. Well, it's melting now. But still, it's not everyday you see a snowman frozen dummy in the summer heat.]

It took me a really long time to try to learn it, but... I guess I can finally say that I can resonate with myself now. I thought about it during the attack on the city some days ago. I was doing my best to defend myself then suddenly, one of those things came too close. Next thing I knew, I blasted it away with my soul energy concentrated in one hand.

I know I still have to practice it... the way powers work in this place. But like Akiha said some days back, Meisters don't have to feel useless without a weapon.

[She pauses, thinking if she should end the feed right then and there. But a heaviness in her heart makes her continue.]

... it just feels a little lonely being without a partner.

A-ah.

[ that much at least, he can empathize with. ]

Your partner went home, huh?

[gonext]

Yeah... [She definitely can't hold back a sigh now.]

That bond is really hard to lose.

But you know... even without a weapon, you aren't really alone.

Hm? What do you mean by that?

A-nh- [ his expression pinches ] We're from different worlds, and some of us are strangers, and some of us don't get along, but. We're lots more than that too, because we're here together.

You don't have a weapon right now, but all of us- we're your partners too.
So that's why no matter what, you're definitely not alone!

Eh?

[Karina, unfortunately, isn't a very optimistic kind of person. And this talk of "we're your partners too!" sounds so far fetched to her.]
