[Video]

[The video opens on a shot of four, very large mechanical lions. Three of them - Red, Yellow and Black - all have large, circular barriers up. After a moment of radio silence, Pidge speaks up.]

They're gone. Shiro. Keith. Lance. I don't know when it happened. But the lions were like this when I woke up this morning. Their names are grayed out as well.

[There's a soft sound and the video wobbles a little.]

Futaba's not here, either. I haven't seen her since... Well, it's been a little while? But her name is grayed out too.

[That last sentence trails off, because she's not sure what to say. Everyone knows what it means. Everyone knows what happens when people aren't there anymore. She just wasn't expecting it to happen to her friends.]

I hate this. But I figured... I should tell people.

[It goes on for another couple of seconds, and then cuts off there.]

[ ... Well. That was that, wasn't it? She hadn't checked in with them in awhile, and didn't really know what to expect when she found this on her feed, but there it was... ]

Thought about what you're going to do?

Shiro? And Futaba too? [ Pity, she liked Shiro. And Futaba was doing a lot of heavy lifting with regards to the mysteries of this world. There's a slight sense of loss in her chest, for some reason. ]

That's unfortunate to hear, but thank you for relaying the news. ...Were you close to them?

I see. That explains Futaba-san's absence.

[Naoto hadn't even checked the slate. She just assumed Futaba had been out as usual.]

Thank you for informing us.

I know this is weird coming from a stranger, but if you need to talk to anyone, I'll listen. I don't want you to feel like you're in this alone.

[Usually, Richard's tone is in some way flippant or outright sarcastic. For the first time, especially in public, he seems dead serious.]

Pidge...

[Tidus sighed.]

I'm so sorry. If you ever need to blow some steam, or just hang out, or something...I know we only just met, but I know how that feels.
