hello? can anyone read this?

[ A short pause, then the message continues: ]

i don't know what's going on. i'm scared. are you here, light? it looks like i'm in your room but -- you don't have a stuffed animal like this, do you? (i wouldn't let you live it down if you did!)

i found this cell phone next to it. am i dreaming? but everything feels too solid. right? i can't

[ Another pause, this one longer. ]

i mean i don't feel unsafe. maybe it's because things look so familiar. maybe i'm about to wake up! .... right?

[ And after a final, hanging pause, she places the blackberry back on the bed, accidentally pressing its keys in passing: ]

[ Sayu smiles a little as she dries her eyes with a sleeve. ]

Yeah. You're right. It's... not just Kira I was crying about, so don't worry about it.

[ Implication obvious. But she begins to brighten: ]

I had some ramen in the kitchen with Hayato! He even got me some shoes from his room. Have you ever met him? [ Remembering the running "I suck" theme from their conversations, she adds: ] He's a really nice person. I'd still be starving if it wasn't for him. [ .... Discounting the fact Light would've done something about it. Whatever; not the point! ]

I haven't seen any other rooms, though. This place looks huge on the maps Conan sent me!

Hayato? That name sounds familiar. Could you describe him?

Yeah, sure! His full name's Hayato Gokudera. He's [ she scrunches up her mouth a little, motions with her hand ] a little taller than me, just as skinny. He has long, gray hair [ she pauses here; prematurely? maybe it's the stress ] and green eyes. [ Sayu smiles. ] We're the same age.

Oh, that br- kid.

[Aw geez. That's the first friend she's going to make here? Poor girl's going to get blown up along with the brat.]

That boy doesn't exactly have the best reputation around here. So it's nice to know that someone can get through to him at least.

He's told me.

[ And how. ]

But! Like I said before, he's a really, really nice person. He has good reasons for why he [ hides dynamite in his clothes ] acts like he does. So... please don't be harsh with him. He --

[ -- wait, bad idea; would probably constitute a breach of privacy. The sentence tapers away. ]

.... Um. Yeah!

Yeah. [Sighs.] I'm aware of that actually.

[Doesn't make him any less annoying.]

Well, if you ever need help getting around, feel free to let me know.

[Although it's more or less out of a sense of obligation than an actual desire to help.]

The inside of the manor is large, but it doesn't take long to get familiar with it. [Especially since you can never leave.] So all in all, I think you should be fine.
