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.]

[ Just your friendly reminder to post from the scientists. ]

Mm. I'm fine. I just tripped.

Sorry you had to see that.

[ They're so mean! ]

As long as you're okay...

[ Oh he sees your plant there. ]

Wow, yours is blooming already? You must be pretty good at this stuff. Mine doesn't even have any leaves...

[ They are! ]

I'm sure. Don't worry.

...Huh? Oh. The plant.

You're not the only one who is surprised to see it like this. But I really haven't done anything special to make it grow like that. Not unless Himemiya helped herself to the task.
