— this can really record what I'm saying?

[It takes a bit of time before the journal gets into focus revealing a dark haired woman who is now in view, it was obvious she had never used anything like the journal from the momentary glimpse of curiosity with her expression and that she is extremely calm about her arrival for the most part]

Oh! There we go. This is working, isn't it? Now I think I've heard the basics about this place but that hardly makes this anymore reassuring if we're to stay here. It's a bit worrying actually since I have a family to get back to, after all.

If these are supposed to be used for communication, I'm guessing people can hear me through this? I'm not sure whether I know anyone here yet but this seems be the way to find out— I'm looking for two of my sons or anyone who would be from Konoha? I'd really grateful for any help at all.

[she does actually but regardless of that she just nods at the question with a hint of sadness in her expression because the fact that both her sons are older than she remembers is still a lot for her to take in]

Only Sasuke so far— I heard they were both older but it was hard to believe until I saw for myself.

[fervidity]

[Her friends being sad is the worst. She knows that feeling too well. She smiles.]

But we get to see them older and make up for any time we lost.

... Was he okay? Are you okay?

[supportively]

[her expression soon brightens at that as she nods] Yeah, that's definitely a good thing about it.

We're okay though— it was just surprising for both of us.

[fervidity]

Yeah, I bet. I talked to him before, he said that--

[She stops. Backtracks again and even if she wants to ask Mikoto what happened after everything, she also... doesn't.]

He missed you. I wonder why Itachi hasn't got a hold of you yet.

[supportively]

He said that? I guess he has been here for a few months by now.

[mikoto figures it is probably because of how long sasuke had been here, completely unaware at the moment of other circumstances. at the mention of itachi, she looks in thought for a moment because she was wondering the same thing] Itachi's friend mentioned he probably hadn't looked at his journal yet so maybe it won't be too long before I do hear from him as well.

[fervidity]

[It's not like she's wrong though. They've all been here longer than her.]

If he doesn't, I'll definitely tell him he needs to say hi to his mom.

[By banging on doors.]

[supportively]

You will? Ah, that's right— I heard Naruto mention that you lived nearby where he does.
