I'll write a bit more.

Leah took a seat in an empty room and put Tsukiko's laptop on a table in front of her.(I had forgotten that 'I' carried my laptop with me...) She opened it with the password she had found from the girls memory and logged on DCW. Maybe someone would be there online. Some Tsukiko's friends.
-Hello? Is anyone here?
Soon she got an answer.
-Tsukiko! Where the hell are you? We are worried about you! You shouldn't have left like that. Read in the reply from IU.
-You should come back. What has happened to you? We couldn't contact you at all. KKLT replied too.
"Huh? Are they all online now?" Leah was surprised. "What an earth are they thinking?"
-I'm fine... I guess I have to apologize for you guys. I just... Leah wrote, pretending to be Tsukiko.
-You just what? Chelsea asked.
-You can tell us. Cure-kun added.
-We are your friends, right? Wildheart joined to the conversation.
-It's nothing special. No worries. What has happened lately?
-Well, we got attacked by some random guy called Morpheus and Monsi lost his memory. Then we travelled to NYC and now we are in our base and watch some news from TV. KKLT gave a short summary.
-I see. I saw those news too...
-Say, Tsuki... Where are you now? IU asked.
-I'm in NYC, too. But I can't meet up you. At least not in five days.
-Why?
-No worries. After five days everything will be fine.
-Tsuki, seriously. Are you alright? Your actions a week ago bother me. You could have come back immediately but instead you vanished and gave even your cell phone away. Sayomi asked.
-I'm absolutely fine. But don't contact me for a while.
-Tsuki-chan. This is not like you. Chelsea added.
-'Cause it's not her!
Leah stared at the screen of the laptop. She had written the last message without thinking. It got replies immediately.
-What do you mean by that?
-Well, who are you then?
-Where is Tsuki-chan? Is she alright?
-Stop joking, Tsukiko.
-Just tell the truth.
-Tsukiko, are you really alright?
Leah sighed and wrote one more message.
-Sorry guys. I cannot tell you but I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Just wait for five more days. Then everything is over.
She logged out and closed the computer. "Why I'm trying to pretend to be her?"

"This is weird..." IU mumbled behind her computer.
"Weird indeed. The writing style was definitely Tsukiko's but there is something that doesn't really fit in her second last message." KKLT admitted as she leaned over the other girl's shoulder.
"Don't do that."
"Sorry. What are you doing?"
"I'll save these posts to my own files. I can show them to Nero, Aeyra and Shannon later. Maybe they happened to meet with Tsukiko and know what's going on. At least Shannon."
"I see..."
