 [ Hey Neorn! It's your lovely butler, Hayate, here, but instead of his happy cheery face, he's a bit solemn. You've probably heard his story, but if not well... he'll give you the story, but expect a little hesitation. He's still afraid of what people will think of him. Yeah he could give the story no problem before, but it's getting closer to Christmas each day. Sure it brought him and Nagi together, but... she's not here to let him know that it's okay.  ]

Wow, I can't believe it'll be a year in a few days... 

I- [ He'll glance down with an unsure expression, but he'll give a faint smile before whispering to himself. Contrary to what he may have said to you all about it, he's not really over it. ]

156 million with 8 hundred G... with 4,000 yen to be returned as my promise to her, yet I'm not even by her side.

[ Hayate lets out a nervous chuckle, he can't be musing about this in front of everyone. That's just careless on his part. He coughs, before straightening himself out, but even then his weariness is still evident in his voice. ]

I'm sorry if I seem a bit down for the next few days. If I ignore you or carelessly lose my temper, it's not your fault believe me. It's just... Christmas hasn't always been a happy time for me... especially last year's happenings. 

I just wanted to let you all know in advance. I don't want to be a bother to everyone.

[ On the screen today, there's a young girl whose body shakes visibly, looking a little nervous as she speaks. Even her voice is oozing with obvious fear, taking a deep breath or two before her smile brightens, albeit a little. ]

It's sometimes really scary in this place, isn't it...

[ Her body shakes slightly as she grips onto the hem of her skirt; showing that she's really frightened. Even on the side of her cheek there's a slight sweatdrop. She knows she can't be anonymous always, or else people might be a little suspicious. She doesn't want that, nor does she wish for anyone to figure out who she is.

Not yet.

It's not time yet. ]

Ah, but even so... Christmas is around the corner, isn't it? It's in, um, [ She counts on her fingers, until she realizes: ] four days, right? I wonder if the event will really be as fun as the warden says it'll be... I'm really worried. I hope everyone doesn't get too hurt or too worried.

And... um, since it will be Christmas soon, does anybody want presents? I might not be able to make much with what we have, but I'll try my best!

[ She gives an even brighter smile as she clasps her hands together. Hopefully Mizuki won't mess up if she does reply to this post. She doesn't want her to screw up her plans. ]
