[ Homura has been reading along the network for a few weeks now. There is much to learn and absorb and she does her best to do just that. But she wants to know more and get involved properly-- she isn't quite satisfied with just observing because this feels like a place she could fit in. It feels like something she was meant to do.

She uncovers the camera's lens after a moment of nervousness and begins her post. ]

H...hello. It's good to meet you all, and-- I have a few small things I'd like to say, if you want to listen.

[ Is it okay to say her name?? A pretend name seems safest, but Homura does not want to lie to these people. ]

My name is Homura. I... I hope you'll understand that I don't want to give out my full name online. This is all, all very scary... Thank you. I have been reading for a little while, and trying to understand the situation the... the best someone like me can. I'm fourteen, and I have a heart condition... I can't run very far and I can't stay outside too long in the heat. I'm not very smart or very brave. But I want to help. I want to do something, something... something to help. I've been testing little things in the junkyard on the outskirts of town... no one goes anywhere near there, and... I can get there on my bike if I sneak out at night.

[ She swallows, and looks a little guilty. She wants to just come out and say it, but she's worried her mom might overhear. So she whispers: ]

I can make bombs. ... They're timed, and... they work well, I think. I have only been, um, been using little ones so I don't attract too much attention. But in, in theory-- in theory a bigger one should be even better. If anyone needs that sort of thing, I... I'll do my best. It's the best I think I can offer.

[ Suddenly she's glancing over her shoulder, she freezes up and then slumps back in her computer chair. ]

S-sorry, I thought I heard my mother. Anyways, um. Um. If I can help in another way, I want to do that too. Thank you.

Um... I do have one little r-request, if anyone wants to help me... I just want to know if anyone can catch me up. I'm not smart, so I want to make sure I understand what's going on. Just... just a summary would be nice. Thank you for listening. Thank you.

[ And the feed cuts with a little bow of her head. ]

In my years, I've experienced a number of strange things. But out of all of them, not remembering why I'd booked a flight back to this city until I arrived here has to be among the top ten.

Hello again, everyone. I hope the rest of you haven't proven to be as forgetful as this old man.
