[Between this and Dreamer Crimson, it appears this city is a magnet for trouble. So much for a peaceful life. But perhaps a distraction is exactly what Chifuyu needs.

Her familiarity with idols as a concept is limited; she had not, in fact, heard about this. By now it should be obvious that she's clueless about many things others take for granted. She hums noncommittally, then adds:]

Those are tough circumstances to Awaken in…

[The less-than-pleasant memories surrounding her own Awakening may be so distant and fuzzy as to feel dull in her mind, but the Nightmare attack that robbed her of some of her memories was fresh, barely a month old.

Chifuyu falls silent for a moment. She's been largely emotionless throughout the conversation, but now her eyes narrow, staring into nothing. The change is subtle enough to be easily missed, however.]

[saynotobugs]

Sure are. But that's what we're here for, at least. The DU's gotten a lot more done than scattered Dreamers could alone. ...You doing okay there?

[timelessmage]

[Chifuyu blinks, any trace of emotion now wiped from her face.]

I'm fine.

[A beat.]

…In my experience, working with another Dreamer is by far the most efficient way of handling Nightmares.

[She had just been harshly reminded of that truth, after all. Another reason to join the DU.]

At any rate, I'm glad our philosophies align.

[saynotobugs]

Yeah. [She nods, still looking Chifuyu over warily like she might faint or something.] Need anything else while you're here? Otherwise, you can check out the lounge upstairs. There might be some Dreamers up there you can talk to to get a sense of things.

[Chifuyu shows no signs of noticing Maki's concern. She shakes her head.]

Nothing comes to mind right now.

[Though she gives the papers another look for good measure, just to confirm none of their contents is going to stump her when she fills them later. …Yeah, it's nothing too complicated.]

I have to deal with some other matters regarding my move before the end of the day, so I'll have to check it out some other time. Thank you for your help, Midorikawa-san.
