[Shiki's teeth are chattering as she speaks into the mouthpiece. Her efforts of keeping herself warm are in vain.]

Ne-Neku! It's Shi-Shiki! I-I don't kn-know wh-where I a-am and I lo-lost M-Mr. Mew a-and--

[BZZT. The call gets cut off abruptly.]

[Angles her head slightly towards the Dreamberry when she heard another familiar voice.]

Nggh... Beat? Beat...

[likearhino]

Do ya need help? Ya able to talk to Phones?

[spaztastic]

Neku's coming...

[You can hear her smiling in her voice. She's glad her friends are here.]

Beat... so cold...

[likearhino]

[He's glad to hear that Neku was on his way. He knew that guy'd run to her aid. If only he could help out as well! Stupid muscle pains.]

Try to get outta the snow. Ain't gonna do ya any good if ya stay put!

[spaztastic]

[Kinda a little hard to move, Beat. 8| But she'll try.]

Okay...

[Slowly picks herself up and slides her body over a nearby tree and leans on it.]

[likearhino]

That better? Leas' you could still sorta move 'round.

[That's all he asks, the more important stuff can come later.]

[spaztastic]

Yeah. Thanks.

[Shifts, leaning her head against her trunk. Maybe close her eyes a little while would be okay...]

[likearhino]

Ya see Phones 'round yet?

[spaztastic]

[That brings her out of her daze.]

Ah! N-not yet...

[likearhino]

Better keep an eye out for 'im. Might miss him if ya don't.

[spaztastic]

I-I will! P-Promise!

[likearhino]

Think ya'll be a'ight there?

[spaztastic]

Just... keep talking, Beat.

[likearhino]

[...What to talk about? Hmm.]

Ya know this ain't Shibuya no more, right?

[spaztastic]

Ngh. Yes...

[likearhino]

S'called Somarium. Lots a' weird stuff happen 'round here. Prob'ly best ya hear 'bout it quick.

[spaztastic]

Somarium? Mm, got it.

[likearhino]

How long since ya talked to Phones? Should be 'round there pretty soon.

[spaztastic]

A while...

[A familiar yell can be heard off-screen]

'Shiki!'
