[Video]/From Ken Amada's phone

[wildcardpotential]

[The video flickers on to Minako's gaunt smile. She's hiding her discomfort as well as she can, but you can tell just by looking at her that she's not in good shape. Dark circles under her eyes, bloodshot, a little thin and rumpled. But she's alive. And she's flesh and blood. She's sitting in bed.]

Hi everyone! This is mostly for those of you that know me already. I think there should be a bunch of newbies here now too... anyway.

My phone seems to be missing, so I'm posing from Ken-kun's, since he found me and was kind enough to drag me back to my room.

[She turns the phone to show him for a moment.]

I'm sorry for my absence, and for those of you who saw what was... left of me, in that absence, I am doubly sorry. I let my guard down for just a moment, and that was a moment too long. The Queen got a hold of me and played me like a puppet.

I managed to get free of her hold, somehow. So here I am! I'll be honest, I've been in better shape, but I'll be okay soon enough.

I'm in my room if you need to see me, or you can reply to this. Ken-kun will let me know.

[She smiles again, clearly tired just from the effort of talking.]

Love you all.

She still needs to recover, so don’t crowd her. Okay?

[Ken leans in and gives the camera a serious look, and the feed cuts.]

I'll do my best! Thanks :)

I'm not the best at sitting still, honestly, haha, but Ken-kun is making sure I'm resting.

[Well wishes are very appreciated, even from acquaintances!]

Resting is probably what you need right now, so definitely get your fill of it. I guess I can understand being restless, though.

dude I am like the worst at sitting still. I have restless body syndrome. This is super hard for me :P

But I'm smart enough to know what's best so... laying down it is.

Good good. I guess it's better to be out and about and doing something instead of being a lump instead ...

I end up doing that sometimes. Depression is hard, I guess.

[Ahhhhh. Her warmest sympathies, friend. Depression is the pits.]

Yeah, it is. I tend to cope with it super weird so I like, probably don't count. But sometimes it's easier to just. Sleep, instead of putting in effort. I know that one.
