E-excuse me.

[There’s a young woman with wide blue eyes on the screen. She presses her lips together briefly, trying to find the right words.]

Is . . . there a way to get a message home? Either with this or with my phone?

[She has the strong sense that there isn’t any more than there is to get home in the first place. But she has to at least ask and eliminate the option before she can go any further.]

I just don’t want them to worry about me.

[Though in all truth, she’s not sure she’s completely ready for the answer.]

And Dad and Conan-kun . . . they’ll have to figure out dinner. And Sonoko may have to take some notes for me . . . for a while.

[She trails off, pressing her lips together, looking away again. Only for a moment, though, before she pulls herself back, doing her best to summon a smile.]

Thank you in advance.

[There is a hint of canine-smile, and Ammy lays down. Letting her tail wag lazily, the sheet of paper she had been writing on flutters to the ground as if cut from the pad. More writing appears on the new, blank page.]

あなたが手伝ってくれるかどうかは、あなた次第です。 しかし、あなたは私やこのフォームを恐れる必要はありません。 あなたは私の子供の一人です。 日本の子供、はい？ ]

It is up to you if you wish to help. But you do not need to fear me, or this form. You are one of my children. A child of Japan, yes?
