[The video cuts in to show Ken frowning down into the camera, breathing a little too hard and too fast, and biting his lip. Clearly he is looking for something in one of the Dreamberry's menus, jabbing at the keys beneath the screen; just as clearly he triggered the video feed in the process. The image shakes: he's grasping the Dreamberry as firmly as he can, but it doesn't seem to stop his hands from trembling. Confusion crosses his face for a moment or two as he tries to work out why the screen's changed, then he mutters a frustrated curse, but the audio doesn't seem to pick it up.

[The picture cartwheels madly as he tosses the Dreamberry onto the bank he's sitting on. When it lands and the tumbling stops, the screen shows nothing but a slice of sky, thin skeins of clouds drifting overhead. Sixty seconds later, the feed times out.]

[OOC: Ken's been dead for a week after Muraki murdered him, and has lost his voice as a penalty. Replies will be in the form of text messages, or possibly charades.]

[Video: Ken has never known when to stop,]

[Youji doesn't miss a beat, but his voice takes on that deeper, chillier cadence it does when he suddenly feels serious.]

Is that really something you want to remember?

[Youji shakes his head. While disappointed that Ken probably can't point out his murderer now--]

Think of it this way. It means you're less likely to dream about it. And you know it'll get all over the network if you do.

[Youji sighs. And filters the call.]

You know how we kill people, Ken? When it only hurts because they fight it, but we try to do it clean because it's a job and we need to get out of there?

It wasn't like that.

Yeah. Quit thinking about it.

[Unless you remember who did it. Then I'd kinda like to know.]

It doesn't matter anyway. I told you, I'm pretty sure you have a few years left.
