[The video feed turns on with a clatter as Rika's PokéGear falls onto the floor. All that's visible is Rika's hand hanging over the edge of the bed. There's silence for a few moments as everything in the room stays still until suddenly there's the sound of a frantic pokémon.]

Vee! Vee! [At that moment, Rika's hand moves out of view of the Gear.]

Prince? Are you all right? [There's fumbling around for the Gear until Rika manages to reach over the side of the bed and pick it up. She has a worried look on her face despite the fact that she's hugging her Eevee.]

What's going on? How long have I been asleep?

Not long at all. About three weeks, so all this...

[ Gesturing to everything around her. ]

...is a little new to me, but I confess that I am adjusting.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

It shouldn't take very long to get completely used to it. I know I was surprised when I first woke up here.

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

How long ago was that, may I ask?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii... I think more than a year ago now.

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

Oh my! That is a very long time.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yes. It feels like it's gone by very fast. I can still remember what it was like when I first arrived.

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

It must have been difficult to adjust to being so far away from home.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I made a lot of friends when I first arrived so... I think that made things a lot easier.

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

That is wonderful to hear.

Everyone has been very nice to me too, so I can probably understand.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yes. Everyone here is very kind.

[ Lacus hesitated before asking this and wondered if it was really the right time to. ]

Rika, if you don't mind me asking...may I ask what you saw in your dream?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[There's a bit of silence on her part before she answers]

... A lot of things. I even went into others' dreams.

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

Were you in... any danger while you were there? Or did you get hurt?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head.] Some were dangerous but I never got hurt.

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

I find these dreams very curious...

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

So do I.

... I have never gone into someone else's dream before.

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

I used to think it would be an interesting experience...

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I think it was a very interesting experience.

... You used to?

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

I was told that the dreams could be very dangerous.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Really?

: [video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

I am sorry. I am sure this is the last thing you wish to talk about after your experience.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head.] I don't mind.

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's perfectly fine to tell me.
