[Hinata had said as much himself but it's good to hear it wasn't far off base. If Ciel was being truthful, of course. Mineva is judicious in her reply.]

These types of crossed communications do breed misunderstandings. I hope you eventually reached the one the message was meant for then.

Do you know Shouyou Hinata?

I'm not acquainted with him outside of the network, no. This has been my first conversation with him as well.
no subject
He's an idiot, but I assume he means well. [It's not like he's gonna compliment Hinata or anything!!!]
no subject
I see. In what was would you call him an idiot?
[She's just curious really. He seemed a bit over reactive perhaps.]
no subject
One of my messages accidentally went to him. He accused me of conspiring murder.

Are you certain the call function works properly as well?
no subject
No. But you can at least hear their voice first when they answer.
no subject
That would certainly be a benefit. The lockdown made it rather hard to deliver messages in person to some.
no subject
It did, but that is no excuse to rely on the inconsistency of these things.
no subject
One must make due with what they have in times of need, I'm afraid.
no subject
Perhaps.

I hope your previous message gets through to Hinata, Ms. Zabi.

As do I. Thank you.
