[Sometime during the day, Naoto will find herself recieving a telepathic message from Kyoko. She sounds more than worn out, she sounds outright exhausted, like all the life has been drained out of her.

In the end, he forced us to report everything we heard and...
[She pauses now, seeming to be searching for the right words.]
Damn it, you should never have said anything to me.
[Even though she knew what had happened to Kyoko, Naoto had placed her faith in her. That stings. She wants to criticize her more, but she can't find the words.]
...be careful.
[Like that ever helped anyone. With those parting words, she falls silent.]
