[Most of Emma's free time is spent in one of just a few places; today, that place is the garden. She's not far from the koi pond, but she's bending to inspect a group of flowers.
When she hears Miki approach, though, she straightens up, brushing her hands on her jeans.]
Hey there.

Hey there.
[ Hey, inspecting the flowers is all well and good. Miki can chat over them, if she wants. ]
Hey.
You said to find you, when I had some information about what we discussed. [ And this is hot off the press, still smoking. ]

The Corruption can see everything that its host does. So it has the whole... week? Longer? However long it's been lying dormant in someone to watch what's going on and I guess come up with a plan.
[ she doesn't look happy about this. ]
[ she doesn't look happy about this. ]
Honestly, I think we both might have. But I asked to be sure, and-- [ She shrugs. ]
Now what? It knows everything that its host sees and has a whole week, maybe more, to be picking a victim and planning their demise in almost total anonymity.

You mean look for hints that it isn't aware we know it can see us?
[ ... this is going into layers upon layers here. ]

So, think of it as an enemy that knows us and how we'd react, rather than one that's just doing what it needs to and assuming we won't catch it.
[ which, tbh given the track record of last minute catches, fair. ]
...
I can see why people keep wanting to keep parts of their abilities secret, especially now. But I worry we're making things worse by doing so. What happens if we accuse the wrong person? Because honestly, we've been scraping by so far.

[ Miki’s just sat on the river bank, not entirely paying attention as she just watches the water flow past. When she hears someone speaking to her though, she looks up — a little startled, like she’s been snapped back into the present. ]
Hm?
Oh, hello. Um, yes, I’m not busy or anything.

[ Hm. No, not entirely. ]
Just a bit wrapped up in my thoughts, that’s all.
You needed something?

Not really. I don’t think there’s a clear answer either way.
[ miki naoki: not great at sharing her own emotional problems, send tweet. ]
Okay? What was it?

Whether or not I did the right thing.
[ It’s complicated. ]
...
Yeah. I could go for some tea. And maybe I have a question for you as well, in that case.

Mm. Maybe. But sometimes the right thing hurts a lot of people.
[ And sometimes it does worse. ]
I’m supposed to be asking around about powers. Not elemental ones, but other kinds linked to helping us out. [ ... ] Do you know anything about them?

I know, but if we hadn’t had the means to save her it could have been so much worse. People would be hurt either way...
[ She nods. ]
Other powers. Like whoever is tasked to bind partners together each week. [ She stands up, beushing dirt off her skirt. ] Alright. That sounds like a plan.

But we did have those means.
[Even if they didn't, she thinks it probably would have been better for them to know, but she isn't going to voice that.]
...I know a few. Most aren't really mine to tell, though.
[But! Off they go, heading to the kitchen.]

I know, but... sometimes you think what if. And just the look on Xion's face.
[ Lost and broken. It's tough not to keep remembering it. ]
Can you tell me what they are, at least? I'm going to be asking around anyway, but if I know what's out there... maybe I'll feel a bit more on top of what's happening.
