[Marona looks unusually subdued today. Though her hands aren't visible in the video, judging by the movements of her arms, she's fidgeting somewhat.

Okay, deep breath. While she doesn't particularly want to talk about it, she can't help but think that it's only fair for the others to know.]

I... remembered some things about home.

[Another pause. It's now or never.]

I think... most people didn't like me there very much. I have a power, Chartreuse Gale, and it lets me see and talk to Phantoms. But people don't understand it, so they think I'm possessed, and that the Phantoms are just telling me what to do so I can trick them.

[She hangs her head.]

That's... that's not true at all, though! There are very nice Phantoms out there. But normal people can't see them, so they don't understand.

[She falls into an uncomfortable silence for a moment.]

That's all I wanted to say. Um, if you think it's creepy, then... That's okay, too. I just wanted everyone to know.

[She quickly ends the feed.]

That's so different from my world!

...Umm, was there a reason you don't tell many people about it?

The Church condemned magecraft as heresy. They had good reason to, because people used it for some really awful things in the past. But they still take that approach, and being too open about it is practically inviting them in to neutralize you.

...I don't know what the Church is, but... That doesn't seem fair. What if someone wanted to use it for good?

It's the official organization of the religion of Christianity. And they didn't stop people from using it -- just from using it openly.

So... You use it, even though they don't want you to?

We do. Magi guard their secrets heavily, anyway, so it's not a really big problem.

So you're safe even though you still use it?

More or less.

Whew, that's good-!
