Post 3 - Video with action possible;

[Computers seem to be a happy medium lately. Luckily, this time, when the computer is hijacked, the scene isn't bloody or gory. No, this video is probably only particularly painful for the girl starring in it.

It's a simple enough set up with Sena in her old uniform but the building in the background doesn't seem to be her school.]

Heh, I'll let you join my group. [Sena is ever so kind to offer to a group of girls, all of which look at each other as if she had to be kidding before the leader outright rejects her, telling her that she should just go join the boys, since she's so popular with them.

Watching as they go, she doesn't look all that surprised but she doesn't turn to join the group of boys, either. Another field trip alone.

The present day Sena is on her way to the library and was luckily not at a computer to see this.]

A video? Huh? [She's trying to imagine what it would be but nothing's coming up.] What kind of video?

Um... I'm not sure exactly what I was seeing, actually. [Sena at some school, offering to be with another group of girls and then getting rejected? And it seemed like she was being told off for something related to boys too...]

I don't think it was particularly good though... and, ah... this may sound weird, but I saw a video like this of another person the other day too, and it turned out to be something that happened to her in the past. So I think this could be like that too.

Something in the past? [Then she remembers everything she's seen, too.] Eh, did you see how I died? What did you see?

[A lot of the stuff she's seen been pretty horrible...]

[He shakes his head.] No, not that.

It was... something about you offering to be with a group of girls? And then they rejected your offer...

You saw that? [She crosses her arms.] Why would it show something like that?

...It's not like it's important. I don't have time for jealous bitches, anyway. [That certainly wasn't how she looked in the video.]

I have no idea, really... But... Jealous bi-- wha...

[Deeefinitely didn't seem that way in the video, but he's not going to say that. Instead, he just frowns a bit, unsure of how to respond.]

It's better if they just stick together anyway. They just pass notes and talk to each other all day.

[Hm...] Like a clique...?

Like idiots. [Or like a clique where everybody but her was a member.] But I'd joined a club and everything before I died. Did it show that?

[He takes a moment to think about it before shaking his head.]

Not that I remember, no...

Then it's not showing everything.

[She's still looking a little embarrassed, though.] So, if I was still alive, I would have had a lot of friends.

Um... [Admittedly, he's a little confused...]

If you don't mind me asking, could you explain what exactly happened, then...?

Y-you saw it, right. I just didn't have the chance to learn what I had used and make friends. So, even if I didn't have friends yet, I would have.

...I just died first.

[hm...]

...Well, it's not like you don't have friends here.

[She blinks.] I-is this why people have been telling me that today? [She looks down, embarrassment showing on her face.] It's not like I need friends that feel sorry for me.

Maybe. But either way, it's not like the purpose of having friends is to have them feel sorry for you or anything. The point is to have someone you care for also do the same for you, and you can hang out and have fun together. Share nice memories with each other... I think things are a lot easier when you have friends, anyway. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be alone, right?

...Nobody does. That's why I asked them. I just wanted somebody to spend time with during trips and in class and after school. If they would just give me a chance, they'd know it would be fun.

Well... I guess they just missed a great opportunity then, huh?

[A doubtful nod.] So I'll make it different this time. All the girls will be my friend instead.

I'm not a girl, but... I definitely consider you a friend, so I hope that counts?

You don't seem like very much of a pervert... So- so I guess it would be okay, if we did.

["very much of a pervert"]

I-I'm not a pervert at all though...

That's why I said it's okay if we're friends. If we were, it's not like we could be.

[--wait what]

...Huh? Why not?

If you were a pervert, it's not like you would be happy just being my friend. So, since you're not, it's okay.
