[Even though the madness caused by the battle dome subsided many days ago, Roji has just now managed to get settled back into his apartment. Despite the fact the ghosts were holograms, they were still ghosts, and they terrified him! Normally Muhyo would be able to get rid of them, but Roji was on his own, and he didn't have the ability that Muhyo had.

So after being paranoid of ghosts popping up in the middle of the night for a few days, he's finally calmed down and realized that they're gone. For now, anyway.]

H-Hello, everyone. I apologize for my behavior the last week or so. I was recovering from the effects of the chaos... [his tone seems to turn a little more cheerful] But I'm okay now. I'm just glad everything's back to normal for no--

[Spoke too soon. Roji is cut off by a bunch of racket outside his apartment. There's a lot of slamming and dragging. Your typical struggle, in other words. In the midst of the sounds, Roji can be heard jumping up from his hair and bolting for the door.

There's not another word from him until several minutes later, after the racket has died down.

Definitely spoke too soon.]

They...they took Ginia. I t-tried to stop them, but I was too late.

... I'm sorry.

[And he ends the feed there. He's feels far too shaken and guilty to continue.]

Roji... [ He sounds concerned and sympathetic. ] You did the best you could. It's not-they're impossible to stop. Anyone will tell you the same thing.

She'll be back, and we just have to be on the look out for when she does. So we can give her all the help she needs, hm?

I've heard... I can't help but still feel bad, but I'm sure everyone does when it happens.

[He nods.] Definitely. I plan on cleaning up at least.

I'm sorry to say that you're right about that. [ A sigh. ] Nothing can be done to prevent.

[ A pause. ] Would you like some company, ah, help even? [ Either way he's going to do so anyway so you might as well say yes. ]

I'd greatly appreciate it, actually. [He won't outright say it, but he's afraid to be alone right now.]

I'll be over shortly then. [ The journal closes and in a few minutes Roji might see Helios descending the stairs to their floor. ]

Roji?

[That he will. Roji's in the middle of sweeping around the hall near Ginia's apartment. He turns to greet Helios, smiling wearily.]

Hello, Mister Helios. Thank you for coming.

[ Helios gives a small, but tired, smile back. ] Oh it's no trouble at all Roji. Anything I can do to help.

[Roji motions toward Ginia's door, which is partially off the hinges.]

D-Do you have any experience with fixing doors? I've tried, but I can't get it to stay on...

Ah...doors. [ Fixing them? Not at all. ] The-the buildings usually repair themselves, thankfully.

[ He gives the door a once over his expression a firm and pronounce frown. ]

They do?

[Roji looks pretty surprised at this discovery. He must have missed that bit while reading the guide.]
