[ Nanako's sprawled on her stomach on her bed when the video starts, feet kicking behind her in the air absently, a look of concentration on her face. ]

Is there a difference between wishes and prayers? If a god makes a wish here... does someone hear it somewhere and make it happen?

Oh. ( And with that, he deflates, ) ... And you want your dad to be here?

( But wouldn't that mean... he'd have to become a god? Or... die? )

[welcome_home]

I don't know. Maybe? But not if he'd get hurt if he has to come here. I don't want that. That's why it's hard to know what to wish for.

[minogame]

( He's quiet, thinking this over a bit before he answers. He really isn't good at these sorts of things, )

What'll you do if you can't see him?

[welcome_home]

[ Neither is she. ]

It's okay if I can't. I just don't want him to be lonely.

[minogame]

Then... How about you wish for him to not be lonely? ( How does he phrase what he wants to say next? ) What's more important? Seeing him again or him not being lonely?

[welcome_home]

Him not being lonely. But I pray for that all the time.

[ She doesn't know who a god's prayer goes to, but she still tries anyway. ]

[minogame]

( He really can't help but frown. Poor Nanako. It must be nice having a family you love and care for so being separated from them must be hard. )

Can I pray for him too? Will that help?

[welcome_home]

[ She blinks in surprise. ]

But... you don't know my dad?

[minogame]

So? I'll just say, "Please don't let--" aaaaah...... ( He leans closer to the screen for a second. What's her name again? Nanshe? No, wait that doesn't sound quite right.... ) "...Nanshe-chan's dad be lonely!"

( Essentially the "looks at smudged writing on hand" meme right now. Kamekichi is very impressed (not) and she flicks her tail once in disapproval. )

[ Nanako can't help but giggle at that. ]

You can just call me Nanako.

[minogame]

"Please, don't let Nanako-chan's dad be lonely!"

See? That's real easy. ( It counts as a smooth recovery if you pretend you never made a mistake, right? ) ... Heheh, I'll do a better job next time I wish, promise.

( And if Nanako is really worried about his name, it probably says "URASHIMA KOTETSU" somewhere near his message/video. )

[ She just giggles and nods her head. ] Yeah, I guess it is. But thank you. Maybe if there's a god somewhere that can help, they will hear it.
