solnet | [Video]/From Ken Amada's phone

[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.]

Y-yikes...

[ Don't mind his initial response, Minako; he didn't know the video feed kicked on that fast. He let out an embarrassed noise once he realized it, a bit of an apologetic look crossing his face. ]

Uh, you need healing, kid? I think I can help with that...

[ Maybe? Possibly? He's not sure; his Persona abilities felt off since the moment he arrived in this place, so he didn't know if he still could. It was worth a shot though, right? ]

NAKO-CHAN!

[Ohshit that was loud.]

Nako-chan!

[... better.]

Hey, hey! Ken! Can I bring her food? We don't have a lot right now but she probably needs to eat somethin', right?

[AND HE WANTS TO GIVE HER A BIG OL' HUG.]

Take your time and feel better. It sounds like you've been through some shit.

[ She doesn't really know Minako at all? But she was excited about the wedding Chloe was asking about officiating (that they still need to officiate at some point) and she seemed pretty cool, so she wanted to send some well-wishes. ]

* not even the queen can keep you down, huh?
* take it easy, pal, but not too easy.
* place ain't the same without you.
