[ It's a very, very short message. But the person appearing in the video looks panicked, and his voice is basically a stuttering mess. He's... ]

U-Um... if... if anyone sees a girl with pink hair in twin-tails... [ Swallows. ] Tell me right away, okay? Please.

[ For their sakes. Because the only person who's going to take waking up in the very, very distant future worse than him is her. ]

I'm, uh... I'm Yukiteru.

[ He opens his mouth like he's going to talk again, but instead, just awkwardly fumbles with the controls of the device, ending the feed. ]

[ Yeah, he doesn't need his Diary to know that would go nowhere. ]

... I doubt they'd tell me.

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

Probably not. Yet they're the only ones who possibly could.

[Video]

[observesthings]

... they have that kind of power?

[ Well, this is is the very distant future, so maybe they have the technology to pull it off by now. Still, this is one of those things he really would have liked to know about beforehand. Maybe Muru Muru kept more from him than he realized... ]

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

The very same power it took to bring you here, yes. You and the rest of us.

[Video]

[observesthings]

But... how?

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

In short they use some advanced technology that allows them to pull in people from different times and worlds.

[Video]

[observesthings]

I can't believe that kind of technology exists...

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

And still you're here.

[Video]

[observesthings]

[ He's silent for a few moments. But the silence is... awkward. ]

It's a long story.

[ Odd choice of words, isn't it? ]

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

[Very odd, indeed.]

What is?

[Video]

[observesthings]

... I guess you can say I kind of knew time travel was possible beforehand.

[ And... it's a slightly sensitive topic. ]

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

So did I. Though I had never personally experienced it before.

From the way you're saying this, I suppose you experienced it before, right? So it should be all the easier for you to accept the fact that the technology I told you about does exist.

[Video]

[observesthings]

That doesn't explain how they're keeping me here against my will.

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

[She quirks a quizzical eyebrow at that.] ...Meaning you're used to traveling through time at will?

[Video]

[observesthings]

Well... I don't know if I'd say I'm u-used to it.

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

If it was one of your abilities, I doubt you retained it here. Unfortunately. [Though she reckons that's a most interesting ability to have.]

[Video]

[observesthings]

Y-You mean they took it away!?

[ How is that even possible!?]

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

They want us here. To help them. What's the point of bringing someone here if they can leave right away?

[Video]

[observesthings]

Why would I want to help them?

[ Especially if he's really nothing without Yuno? She's at least twice the fighter he is. ]

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

[She shrugs.] They seem pretty optimistic by nature.

[Video]

[observesthings]

That doesn't help...

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

Apparently that helps them believe they can kidnap us and we'll still be eager to help them anyway.

[Video]

[observesthings]

I'm not a fighter. I never was.

[ And without Yuno... ]

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

It seems the Initiative likes some variety. Not all the transports are fighters. [Even if most of them seem to have at least some fighting skills.]

[Video]

[observesthings]

[ Well, that wasn't entirely true. He had seen what these kinds of powers can do in combat firsthand; Yuno wasn't shy about using them at all when she was forced. He, however, hadn't even tried. All things considered, he barely used these powers at all, except for when he had to (hey, he and Yuno were co-Gods of the Third World. Someone had to do the Godly duties that entailed). ]

I guess I can fight... I'm just not used to doing it myself. [ He may have been effectively desensitized to violence after witnessing Yuno's carnage and multiple attempts on his life, as well as fighting a bit himself, but he's fully aware that she is a way better fighter than he'll ever be. ]
