[Sena's been thinking a lot lately. With school and everything else she's been doing, it's been easy to keep her mind off things but it's been a little slower for her lately and the thoughts began to creep in.

And so, she's begun to think about the one thing she doesn't have here: her family. So, she opens her computer and decides to ask a few questions.

It starts with her sitting there, hand making idle circles on the desk, her eyes seeming to find the pattern fascinating.]

If we're all dead, I wonder if we can turn into ghosts. [It's a weird thought and she doesn't think so but she wants this bad enough to ask.] Ghost can go back and see people, right? It's not like they have to be the creepy ghosts from stories or anything.

[extraordinarily]

[ And look at who's a big snoop when it comes right down to it? This girl. The statement is valid, and Haruhi does have an answer, thankfully. So she'll just sit down on the desk right next to Sena's, and speak up, bored, almost as if she wasn't actually talking to anyone in particular. ]

I wonder if that idiotic programmer will let us go home again... It's been a while since I've seen Nishinomiya, and the last time we were sent home to see our homes, our families, everybody, well, they just couldn't see us.

[ Cue deep, overdramatic sigh. ]

I just wish I knew how it all worked.

[mightletyouknowme]

[She hadn't expected an in-person response so she'll jump when she saw Haruhi, as if it's harder to admit she's sad about this when they're face to face.]

Programmer? Who was it? [She'll track him down.]

[extraordinarily]

Ah, you heard that? Sorry, I was talking to myself.

[ Haruhi's used that as an excuse before, so it's only natural that she can use it again. ]

I don't know his name. We've never really met. He did speak during the last shadow attack, though.

[honestmana]

[ Someone who was jumping around entertaining herself while balancing on the lines in the floor is Mana. When she sees Sena, she skips over with too long sleeves flapping a little like wings. ]

Oneechaaaan?

[mightletyouknowme]

[And then some people just make her day brighter.]

Eh hehe. [Turning toward her, she stands up, running to greet her, arms held out, drool practically coming from her mouth.]

Too cute!

[ video ]

[violined]

Didn't that happen once? Or didn't everyone go?

Then again, I guess it doesn't matter. It was no good anyway. Being a ghost fucking sucks, nobody is able to see you.

[ You just feel even more that you're not a part of that world anymore. ]

[mightletyouknowme]

It's not good enough. [She humphs, though this time, it's not at him.] I don't just want to see Papa for a day.

...I didn't even get to see Mother.

[Now, she sighs.] Uggg...it's no good! We should be able to go back!

[observesthings]

I, um... I think we did get to do that once. But I'm not sure if I'd want to see my world right now...

[ And there's Yukki. He was reading a book (Modern Mobiles, a book about cellphones, again), and he seemed to be staring page all day; a page showing internal components. ]

I kind of chose not to.

[mightletyouknowme]

[Sena has a very bad habit of missing small details when it comes to other people. Once she's off the issue, it's possible she'll notice the book but right now, she just wants to go back.]

Eh, why would anybody not want to go back? Even if we didn't have friends back there, you had a family. [She assumes.]

[makochansan]

[No, all ghosts are definitely creepy! But Makoto doesn't say that because he thinks he understand what Sena's getting at here.]

I'm not sure if I would want to be a ghost, but... It would be nice to see everyone again.

[mightletyouknowme]

We wouldn't be the creepy, ugly ghosts. Even if Papa didn't get to see me, I want to see him. [She doesn't even realize she's lying. Being able to see him without being acknowledged...that would hurt.]

[kirino had been in the same classroom as sena, getting her books and stuff and shoving them into her bag. she was attending class, yeah, but the entire time she had just been playing eroge on her phone.]

Ghosts don't exist.

[she was skeptical of ghosts, but since they're in the afterlife she believes in this place.]

action; also, Koz, stop using such cute icooooons

[mightletyouknowme]

[Good usage of class time, one Sena would approve of.]

Huh? If we're not ghosts, there's no way we're zombies. There's no such thing as a cute zombie.

[conversationalist]

[And there she was again, but instead talking about something Kotarou definitely didn't agree with...]

No, ghosts are pretty creepy no matter what.

[He abides by this.]

What brought this up?

always text;

[mightletyouknowme]

[Sena agreed. She had never, ever, in her life wanted to see a ghost. Still, sometimes, it was their only option.

But with him, it was okay to be honest, right? They had talked and sort of bonded on the loneliness issue. Besides, text was much easier.]

I miss Papa and Mother. If we can turn into ghosts, we can see them. [She even misses Stella.]

[tsunball]

... Oi, Kashiwazaki, you realise that ghosts are gonna be scary no matter what, right? If your family sees you again, they'll just freak out since you're s'posed to be dead!

[ And that's even aside from the fact that the one time the whole ghost thing happened to him, he wasn't too pleased by it. ]

always video;

[mightletyouknowme]

There's no way they'd be scared of me. [She's convinced herself of this.] Papa and Mother would be happy to see me again.

[nothisbrother]

[Naoi is gathering up his supplies and books to get ready to head over to the council room when Sena speaks up and he turns to look at her]

Are you stupid? Of course we can't turn into ghosts. Had we ever been able to don't you think Yuri or I, God, would've told you all by now? [Considering he, Yuri and Otonashi (more so Naoi and Yuri) have been here for naoigod knows how long, they would know. Granted it somehow happened once but not even Naoi can explain that since it never happened before and hasn't happened since. Programmers doing maybe...?

either way YOU DISAPPOINT HIM NOT!GODDESS SOCIAL CHAIR KASHIWAZAKI]

[mightletyouknowme]

Just because you don't know how doesn't mean we can't! [She won't say anything about Yuri cause she likes Yuri.]

And if everybody's talking about the time it happened, it could happen again!

[sleepybuster]

[Ah... this definitely is something Riki has contemplated before, especially considering how much he misses his friends. He smiles sheepishly as he answers her post.]

Ah... I'm guessing you miss people from home, Kachiwazaki-san?

always video;

[mightletyouknowme]

Doesn't everybody? [She's not the only one so it's normal.] And they miss me so if I could go back, I could see them.

[princesadist]

Who knows, maybe we're ghosts already and we're just here to get missions to haunt people back on Earth. But our missions got lost somewhere so we're stuck here. [Don't mind Sougo being a little crabby, mostly because the idea of being a ghost is totally sweet and he'd totally want something like that.]

But that's only a dream at this point. Why, would you want to be a ghost? Is there someone you're harboring a grudge towards? Can I help? [NO DON'T LET HIM HELP]

[mightletyouknowme]

[Wow, weird that he's offering to help, anyway.]

Only if you can help me go back. [If he can, she'll take it.] We're not ghosts yet or we could just go there. If it happened before, it can just happen again.

[Audio]

[frequent_flyer]

[This subject in particular was one he'd considered over the years. There were several things he wished he could go back and do, people he needed to apologize to and people he just wanted to check on... So he felt like it would be irresponsible not to say something.]

I... don't think we can do that, at least, I don't know how. [He pauses awkwardly, letting the feed hang in silence for a moment.] Is... there a reason you want to go back?

[Audio]

[mightletyouknowme]

It happened once. [Even if everybody thinks it was a one off thing, that proved it was possible.] If we know how, I could just go back.

[Then a beat of silence. It's heavy enough on her mind that she's honest.] I miss Papa and Mother.
