[video, voice] what goes around comes around

[The device flicks on. Static.

Then, purple- only purple. White. Break's coat, the beautiful off-the-shoulder, white one that he lost almost a year ago during that episode with all of the blood. It's back in one piece.]

What-

[Then the feed flicks off. On again, very briefly, as he bangs it on the table. Sound.

Then to video- there's Break's elbow, Emily's dress.

On. Rap rap rap. Someone's knocking it against a table to see if it can be broken open.]

-why does it keep chirping, Emily?

[This is almost exactly how he arrived, nearly two years ago to the day. And here we are, come full circle, about to smash the PCD on a table corner in idle, non-technologically oriented curiosity.]

Why thank you, Eggbert.

[Guessing a name. This must be a voice he can't place- might as well get a comical correction.]

[Sputter!]

Ah... it's Negi, actually. Negi Springfield.

Well, close enough. Have we met?

You were here once before. I doubt you remember me very well, though.

Truthfully, I'm not quite sure where 'here' even is.

Oh.

Well, this place is called Adstringendum... it's a combination of different worlds and time periods.

Go on.

It's the result of an experiment that went wrong. As a result, time and space was torn, and this place was created.

There are also spirits here called the Animus. They like to play tricks on us every other week or so.

This all feels rather like a trick itself.

It does, a bit.

All right, how do we get out of this little experiment?

Ah... we don't. There isn't a way out.

That's ridiculous.

A bit, yes.

I've been here nearly two and a half years.

Not an option.

There isn't much you can do about it, unfortunately...

The people who did this?

They're currently missing.

Either killed by their own mess or run away from it, hm?

I suppose... they were here, once. But they've gone into hiding.

What cowards!

I'm not entirely sure that they weren't running from something threatening their existence.

Well, I'll have to think about that.

... it would help, too, if there were evidence.

We'll talk again soon, Negi, all right?
