Twenty-Third Duel [Video Post, Japanese]

[Three... two... one... BZZZZAP!]

OUCH! [Utena bolts upright with a shout. She was laid down on her bed only a few seconds ago, taking an afternoon nap after pulling an all-night watch for Gohl. With or without Prydain's say-so.]

[Hissing painfully, she rubs a hand against her lower back as sits up.] Geez... that really smarts. [Looking past her shoulder, the camera focuses up at her face from the side. She makes a grab toward the communicator, fingers obscuring the camera's view as she pulls it closer.]

What's it even doing there? I thought that I--... Chuu!

Eh? [Chu-Chu can be seen standing on her pillow, tilting his head curiously at her.] Did you move it there, Chu-Chu? You were probably playing with it, huh? Chuu?

Well, I guess it's not such a big deal... The shock isn't so bad, but try to be more careful for my sake next time, okay? [...] Wait. This date... [She blinks at she leans toward the camera to get a better look at the communicator.] ...It's my birthday today, isn't it? Huh. I never thought that I'd be spending it in a place like this.

[Then, as she looks up, Utena ends up staring straight at something off screen.] Wait a second, that's-... But it's only been two days! [...] Still, that scent... it's just like-...

[She runs a hand through the bangs of her hair, clearly perplexed at the growth rate of this plant and letting out an exasperated sigh.] Oh, I just don't get it!

[As she turns around to step out of bed, her foot catches on part of the cover on the floor and she starts to fall. A graceful tumble forward that lands her flat on her face and with a hard thud. The communicator, being pulled along with the ride, slides down and the viewers catch a glimpse of her plant with white roses in full bloom. The recording times out once gravity finally takes over and it tumbles over face down with a clatter.]

Thank you, Cube-kun.

Heh. I think that greeting is good enough for me.

Mm. They are. I can't figure it out, but... they just started growing on that plant that I got for Christmas this year.

They're very pretty... I hope they stay in bloom for you for a while. They must smell nice, too.

White roses... don't they mean purity, true love, and goodness? Hm...

They are, and they do.

Actually... I was really surprised. The scent of the roses is the same as the one I can remember from a long time ago... But maybe I was just half-asleep to think that before. That can't possibly be true.

Things like that just don't happen outside of your dreams.

I couldn't tell you. But maybe Himemiya would know for sure. ...Still, that does sound nice.

Do roses smell different in different worlds...?

[She laughs a little.]

That would be pretty weird, wouldn't it?
loyal_cube: (^o^)

Ha ha! I guess you're right! A rose that smelt different wherever you went.

Hmmm.... Reminds me of a fruit that makes other food taste different...
