[BZZZZAP!]

-ch! [The communicator falls down onto the floor with an audible clatter, and she grumbles before picking it up and and lazily tosses it over onto the bed.]

It's already that time, huh...

[Unaware of the recording, Utena flops down noisily onto the mattress with a tired sigh and the squeak of old bedsprings. A long moment passes in silence before she starts to speak up again.]

It's gotten so quiet again. I guess that's a sign that he's really gone. [...] I wonder if the Disciplinary Committee will be disbanded.

[...] This really is a sad, broken place. It feels like one minute there will be someone there to talk to, and get to know. Then the next minute, they're gone. As soon as you even blink.

[She rolls over and lets out a small hum.]

Heh. I don't even think that I trained this much back at home. I was always just watching my senpai doing their training. [...] I wonder if that ever helped me beat them... [There is another pause, as Utena gazes up at the rose signet ring thoughtfully.]

I should probably take a bath.
