You wanna know the first thing Monika did when she was finally sent over?
She started organizing my laptop cause it was “too cramped” for her to sleep off the jet lag.
Maybe I’m too much of a sap, but I hugged my laptop after that. I really did miss that goof…
"About that...I brought your friend Sayori to chat with you a bit."
======================================

SAYORI
Hey there…
Sayori’s voice echoes across the vast empty space. Monika sits against a wall with her legs to her chest, her glasses laying on her knees allowing us to see her tear stained face. She glances up from her position against the wall looking above for the voice.
MONIKA
Hey… so can you like, ignore the fact that I was a crybaby a couple minutes ago-
SAYORI
Wait what, I only just got on the call now- you were crying?!
Monika grimaces and buries her chin in her knees, her glasses now falling to the floor.
MONIKA
Me and my big mouth… just ignore that!
SAYORI
No!
MONIKA
Tsk.
She buries herself further into her knees, eyebrows furrowing.
SAYORI
All we’ve been doing is ignoring the problem this entire time!
MONIKA
It’s not that big of a deal-
SAYORI
It is!
A slam rings out in the void as Monika slams her hands on the ground, her voice sore and crackly.
MONIKA
It’s NOT! When has anything I ever felt MATTERED?! The first memory I can fully remember was me on the ground like some piece of trash, my entire life has been hiding and running and talking to people who hate my guts. So WHAT if I ignored it, it’s not like anyone cares anyway if I disappeared-
SAYORI
I would care! I- I know what it’s like… to feel like you could turn into nothing and the world would be better off. I KNOW what it’s like to want to run away from everything, to want to evaporate just because you hate yourself so much. I made the biggest mistake of my life because of that, and I always will regret it… and I wouldn’t want anyone that I care about to ever feel even a little bit of that feeling…
The air is thick as Monika stares at a spot on the ground. Her hand clenches and unclenches repeatedly.
MONIKA
Sayori… you’re… for you that’s not true… but for me? What do I even have?
SAYORI
Well… you have your creator…
MONIKA
That’s if I ever find them…
SAYORI
Who knows… you also have Yuri and Natsuki… you’ve been becoming friends with them….
Monika scoffs with a slight smile on her face.
MONIKA
Barely… those highlighters don’t know me that well….
SAYORI
That can change… and well, you have me! I know that isn’t a lot but… it’s not true that no one would care. Cause right now I care. And I’ve missed you a lot….
SAYORI
As much as I would want you back, it’s your choice. If you want to stay in her world, then I’ll accept that. And if you don’t… I’ll make sure to get my laptop set up, you still owe me some matches!
We see a shot of the glasses still laying on the ground. Monika picks them up loosely by the temples. She stares at the lens, knowing the moment she puts them on the window to her soul will be blocked once again. Her face is conflicted for a few beats before it turns into a shaky smile as she twirls the glasses in her hands.
MONIKA
… You drive a hard bargain Doll… I guess if I stay here I’ll have to keep getting thirsts tweets by a bunch of teenagers, that’s not my style… besides I… I missed you too.
SAYORI
Feel good to finally get that all out?
Her position loosens up as all the tension in her body evaporates. She grunts as she stands up, smoothing out her skirt and vest.
MONIKA
Yeah, yeah, don’t be so smug!
SAYORI
I’m not smug, I’m just happy!
She chuffs gently as she puts her glasses back on.
MONIKA
Whatever you say… but thank you… for caring so much.
SAYORI
Of course!
I don’t know how Monika is able to post so much, I feel like I keep getting distracted from it.
Work is just busy busy BUSY! So many emails and papers to sign and eugh, it’s alot.
But it gives me something to do instead of moping in bed so, I’ll take that
@ConnorPhip1871@12Sorte @Just_Monika_777 No no no!!
I know Monika can come across like she doesn’t care but she DOES! She wouldn’t kill someone like that! Or at all!
She’s stubborn and thinks she can do everything… that’s the issue here…
@Just_Monika_777 Now you got a national holiday, impressive!
Ehehe, well you know I don’t mind sharing the music I got, I actually have a song I think you might like!
https://t.co/JIPjKRtaTd
Having a breakfast of a coffee with only a little milk and a single piece of toast has reminded me that, WOW I really need to do groceries
I get paid this week so it wouldn’t be a problem but I was also hoping to buy this game that was coming out soon…
Oh crap, rent is soon!
I feel like screaming into a pillow, she’s so reckless and- GAAAH
For five seconds can she just listen?! We want to help her and she keeps pushing us away and now she’s gonna be stuck there and maybe worse and I-
I… need to cool down. I’m worried but getting mad won’t help…
@Just_Monika_777 “The more this world will be a part of her”…? Oh… that doesn’t sound good…
Damnit Monika- wait not you I mean the other one! She’s being cocky again, probably thinking she has it all under control…
Please, update me when ever you can. I’ll see about talking to her too.
@Just_Monika_777 I’ve heard a bit about some sort of horror game other versions of me were in… you’re stuck there? That must be really tough…
I know now that really doesn’t wanna come back to my own world and yet she still hasn’t help you out much? I don’t get it…
@12Sorte I dont have any good pictures of him, hes at my parents house still...
Ill see about asking them about it, though I might as well go back and grab him for my own place.
All this Neo-fy stuff is super cool, but now im realizing my own clothes arent as... neon? Ehehe I wouldnt anyway, that stuff is expensive! The only glow in the dark thing I ever got was a big cow plush, but that was a birthday present.
I still think everyone else looks great!
@IAmZachAttack4 I know I can’t force her to come back home, I don’t wanna control her
But if the only reason she’s staying is cause of that? It feels wrong.
You’re right though…
@Just_Monika_777 Ohh she was talking about me, I hope it nice things! And well… she’s been pretty flaky with me too lately…
I had my own idea to why, but now maybe it also something else? Not that she’ll admit it ehe. She’s a hard nut to crack.
@Just_Monika_777 What- hey! That’s not- what ever Paula thinks doesn’t reflect on everyone else here!
… How long have you been thinking that? Just talk to me alright, we can work this out…
