[Rena appears on the astral plane, looking downcast and generally worried. She also appears to be looking for someone.]

Mii-chan... Mion-chan, are you here, are you?

Could you just not have...?

Wait. I wonder if...see, no two people here are from the same world. You might be from one version of Hinamizawa, and the Mion here might be from another. So...I wonder if the two of you would see each other at all, if your worlds aren't quite the same.

[Smiles.] But either way, I'm sure she's fine.

Another world? B-but... Everyone here is from a different world? That's impossible!

[contract_star]

I thought so too at first, but that's the truth.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

Then how am I talking to you?

[contract_star]

Because, it...the Astral Plane here, it's like a crossroads for people from other worlds. Like a common ground. So, I'm actually from a different version of Japan than you and Mion, and there are others here who are from different versions of England, Greece, even whole other planets.

R-really? That's amazing, it is!

[contract_star]

[Chuckles.] It is, isn't it? So that's why it's possible that...that you and Mion are from different places, and maybe that's why you haven't seen her. I'm sure she's fine.

That's good.

...But what happened to the Mion-chan from my world?

[contract_star]

Well...I don't know. [Encouraging smile.] But I'm sure she's alright! Maybe if you can find the Mion here, she'll have an answer.

Maybe... Thank you, Li-san.

[contract_star]

[Beams at her.] You're welcome. Good luck, Rena.
