[ The video clicks on to a very angry-looking young girl. No, really, she's shaking with rage. Her scowl tightens before she speaks. ]

You useless, good-for-nothing, stupid, obnoxious — boy! How dare you just leave again, just— just like that, without even saying goodbye or... or....

[ There's a waver in her voice, but she sets her jaw and blinks hard. ]

But I'm onto you now! See if I ever talk to you again! I don't care if you ever come back! You're just a deadbeat loser who can't play tennis and has to have girls defend him! And you don't know how to treat a lady! I bet you'll never get a date!

And I hope you fault every ball you serve for the rest of your miserable life!

[ By the end of this last epithet, her voice cracks badly. It's not hard to spot the tremble in her chin just before she throws the 'Gear across the room. It collides loudly with a wall, the video shorting out, but the audio sticks around just long enough to broadcast her sobbing before it grows too staticky to hear.

Housemates can find her in her room, wailing inconsolably into her bed under the weight of a newly-hatched and very concerned Dratini. Tezuka's gone home, and since this is the second time he's left without saying goodbye, she's a little fed up. ... But mostly just sad.

Non-action replies will be a few hours from the time of the post, since Miyuki had to get a new 'Gear. ]

[He had been downstairs when he heard the shouting, having been on his way when he heard the collision of the 'gear to the wall; it only made him pick up his pace.

Now he stands in the doorway, leaning against it, staring at Miyuki with a sad smile. He's never had to deal with a sad child alone before, or anything like this without the Other Mother around. He knows what makes everything better though, and what he's found most children like.]

Need a hug?

[ She doesn't realize anyone is there until he speaks, which makes her hunch her shoulders up and squeeze her eyes shut, trying — and ultimately failing — to stop her crying. Though she keeps sobbing, she does sit up, pillow in her arms and baby Dratini slithering over her shoulder. Every syllable is punctuated by a hitching breath. ]

He — left — a — gaaaaain!

[Well, it's not as though he's never seen a tantrum before, though perhaps never one quite this vehement—or rather, never one this publicly so. He's curious, to be sure, but at the same time, an angry little girl is almost always a natural condition that's wise to avoid.

Ultimately, though, the desire to investigate wins out.]

That's rather harsh, isn't it, Chitose-san?

[Misaki was just coming in from walk. She freezes in the doorway.]

C-Chitose-san...?

[Since he doesn't know where she is, else he would be there, he's settled for a video response--not that he expects a reply with the force she threw her Gear. He's sure he knows just who she's talking about, considering her reaction, as well as the fact that he'd tried to contact Tezuka as well. His expression is concerned, and maybe a little sad.]

I'll be around the Pokemon Center for a few hours, Miyuki.

[Enough of an offer to see her that she could take or not as she wished. But if she wants to, he's outside. If not, he has his Gear with him.]

[ Sakura had been elsewhere in the house when Miyuki's yelling started, and she gets there just after the crash of the 'Gear hitting the wall.

She peeks in carefully, half expecting more things to be thrown. ]

Miyuki-chan... what happened?

... That last one is going a little too far, isn't it - ?!

He-hey now! Don't you think that's a little bit too harsh missy?
