[Voice]

Um, can everyone hear me...?

...

Is everyone okay? I mean, what happened here the last few days. Is that really normal for this place...? [his voice trails off slightly as he pondered on the events.]

...--Oh, sorry! I just...I'm sorry to anyone I spoke to while I had that weird mask on during that week. I didn't mean anything I said.

Ah, anyway...there was something sort of important I needed to talk to everyone about. Firstly, my name is Kazuma and....well, I'm speaking to everyone to clear up a misunderstanding. I mean, as long as you're not busy with something already...[Yea, this is off to great start.] Maybe I should write this out.

[Written]

I've been told there was someone who used to be here that went by the name Hazama. I'm talking about him, because people have mistaken me for him since I arrived.

[A pause]

That is, people tell me I look like and sound like him, but I'm not him. I've never met him or knew of him until I arrived here. [....Was there something else he had to say after this? What did that woman tell him...?] Someone told me about the filters, and that it won't work if they're not here, right? You should try that if you want to check.

That's all I really wanted to say. I did look into what he was doing here and I'll say this now, I can't possibly do anything he could. [Hazama's voiced entry was still ringing in his ear] I don't know why we look the same either, so I can't really answer that. I just wanted to make sure I said something about this to everyone, so [there's a pause, as he taps the page with his pen] so thank you taking the time to read this, and if you still don't feel comfortable around me, I'll understand. Just as long as you know.

[Action]

[...Ok, that should be good enough. He hopes that's good enough, because he's feeling a little ill after making that public announcement. He was never good with these kinds of thing, but it needed to be done. At least he had the option to write it all out instead of talking.

He's going to be in the living room of House 48 for a while, just until his anxiety finally drops and he could go about his business for the day. He had something he said he would do for Miss Litchi, but hasn't gotten around to actually doing it. Probably shouldn't hold off on it anymore, since they really need to get more food for the house. The least he could do after Miss Litchi and Thirteen took him in and nursed him back to health.

So a little later that day, he's going to be seen heading for the grocery store which...was honestly kind of strange walking around town and seeing it was just fine after the moon supposedly crashed into the place. While he's at the store he's going to slowly realize that he probably should have asked for some help. Orz. W-Well, he could always take several trips. Not like he was in a hurry to be anywhere...

More importantly on his mind, what eggs should he get? If there was one place in the grocery store he would spend a long time at, it'll be down the aisle where the eggs. There's just...so many choices, so many different texture to each egg.

You know those people who like to pick and check the eggs in the cartons at the store? That would be Kazuma right now, picking those "perfect" eggs.]

[Try the filter trick to double-check if this guy was Terumi or not? Admittedly, it was an idea that could probably work. But given that Terumi still went by two different names at one point, what's to say that he can't somehow trick the journals into only registering for this guy's name. Kazuma.

And Ragna knows that he told Hakumen that he'd buy the story that this guy and Terumi are not the same person (at this point), and he knows that Hakumen has no reason to lie about it when Terumi's a common enemy between the two, but... still. Ragna can't find himself trying to believe this guy. His hatred for Terumi -- Hazama, whatever -- is just too strong.

He has to make sure for himself.] You say you've got nothing to do with the guy? Prove it.

...

[...kjasjghsajk That voice. That voice. That voice he hears almost everynight in that weird dream. This is really not the best time to be hearing things again! N-No, wait....There's actually a source. It's not all in his head, this time it actually belonged to someone!

But...that can't be really...he glances at his journal and stared at the face on the journal's camera for a long time. This man...he felt recognition, but how could that be? The question rises in his mind just as he says it.]

Who...are you? [Yea, he just threw Ragna's question out the window. Sorry.]

[Okay, yeah, throwing his question out the window is a quick way to get under Ragna's skin straight to his bad side. Kazuma's working his way there, but even Ragna knows that sometimes he's gotta have patience to get what he wants. And he knows he wants answers.

BUT STILL. B|] Why does that even matter? Answer my question.

[B-But 8(. This is going to eat at him until he knows. Ah...but this man sounded pretty annoyed now] ...I don't know what else I can do. I don't know anything about Hazama except what I read here.

[That...that sounds bad and not against his favor, but there really is very little he can do about this with so little information.]

[Hnnngh... This information isn't really swaying him. Maybe he should trust Hakumen, though. There's no reason not to, but it's just eating away in the back of his mind that this guy could somehow end up being Terumi and his decision to trust that masked bitch could easily bite him in the ass later. The possibility is there. Ragna knows what Kazuma's purpose really is.

Damn it all.] ... Fine. What did you read here, then?

[...]

A kidnapping. An entry where he had kidnapped someone while he was here. [He'd say a name, but he didn't want to bring it up to a stranger and have them end up bothering Noel about it.]

[Sounds about right for it to be the thing that Kazuma would read. But the mention of it still makes Ragna take a short pause before actually answering back.

At least Kazuma is being cooperative.] And that's all you read?

Yea...maybe a few other things he posted before that, but that's the only one that really matters, right?

[Not by a long shot.] ... It'll have to do. [He doesn't really have a way to try and see anything else about Kazuma without trying to ask someone who really knows more about this whole thing.

Why did this have to get so damn complicated?]

[...] Can you tell me your name? Please.

[He already had that feeling he knows, but saying it all of the sudden probably would make him seem too suspicious.]

[Ehhhhhhhh.] Why do you need it?

I just want to know who's talking. [Stop being difficult, Ragna :/]

[He can be as difficult as he wants!!!!! >:C] ... Ragna. That's all you're getting.

...Thank you. [So many questions, so much uncertainty. He had things he wanted to ask Ragna, but he didn't want to lead him to having the wrong impression, or potentially stir up trouble with him. Having those dreams become reality would not be fun.]

[Since Ragna already said that this was all Kazuma's getting, he's content with leaving the conversation alone after the "information" he got out of it. If you can even air quote it. He's going to start closing the journal, and if Kazuma's got anything else to say, now's the time.]
