Everyone---[Oh no. Not this public speaking thing again. Shu's nervous. He hopes he doesn't make a fool out of himself in front of all these people.] I'd like to know something.

I thought that maybe someone here might know the answer. Is it, normal to meet someone from your own world but....they don't have the same memories as you?

Inori.

Inori remembers something different. She says I protected the school with Ayase, but it doesn't make sense. I don't think she's lying either, so. She wouldn't do something ...like that.

[At least he thinks so. Segai's words manage to bestow a sense of insecurity on him.

Beware of those who tell you to believe in yourself, Shu. Inori might very well wish to use you and removing anyone who might take away that control through this manipulation.

Is it really alright to believe in her and the Funeral Parlor? He doubts them for a minute.]

[Pause.]

For those of you who just arrived, I guess.

Please, be careful. I don't want to see any of you get hurt here. There's a hospital in the Sigyn district and... [Wait, he's in no position to be telling them what to do. Stop right there, Shu.]

That's about it.

[What on earth did he just say to everyone?]

You're having memory troubles, Shu?

video;

[departing]

I think so.

What should I do about it?

[Diva is thoughtful, at least! She immediately thinks of Carl—or, Charles. It's enough for her to be interested in replying.]

I don't know if it's normal or not, but it happens! Or, it happened to me.

[a beat, but the name he mentioned, it stands out to her] Hey, isn't Inori one of the girls you mentioned to me? The name sounds familiar.

video;

[departing]

It's a little strange to deal with. I'm not sure what exactly to think of it.

...

Diva, were you okay?


Yes, I have. Inori's here now...in the city.

[playerkills]

Heh. I knew it. [ THAT INORI WOULD LIE TO HIM UWOOOOO ]

video;

[departing]

Knew what?

[NOO.....]

[patronizing]

Hmph. Of course it’s normal for people to know things that you don’t. Any imbecile would know that since a lot of people have been rumored to be pulled from different timeframes. [ not that she would know but GOSH SHU... ] As for your warning, it’s unneeded but you have my thanks in directing those of us with no common sense to the hospital if needed.

voice;

[departing]

You called me an imbecile.

[He's taking this to heart and it hurts. Being sensitive sucks.[

Sorry for wasting your time. All of a sudden too.

video;

[darkbreak]

It's probably not normal for everyone.

[It does make him wonder about things though, because memories have gotten messed up in his world too.]

But for this place? Anything can happen. Nothing is out of bounds.

video;

[departing]

That might be so.

[It's interesting to think on, at least.]

After seeing dragons and vampires around, it's not too far from the truth, I guess.

[Video]

[utenamobile]

Eh? I never thought about that. [And she takes a moment to ponder about it.]

... Hey, Shu.

[Video]

[departing]

It's kind of odd. [So weird he doesn't know what to do with it.]

Hello, Utena.

[ryougi]

Don't see why it's not possible for someone to be ahead of you in time in this place. [Technically Fujino is from her past but she doesn't know that...]

[departing]

You mean to say that I'm behind? [Are you sure it's not just him going crazy...?]

That's just odd.

video;

[satisfies]

It's not normal, no.

video;

[departing]

What...do you think it is? It's not anything serious, is it?

[Filtered to Shu] AUDIO durrhurr

[faints]

--You mean this...memory thing has happened to other people too?

[PERMAFILTER unless mentioned otherwise but DURR/audio]]

[departing]

Other people?

Has this happened to you before? Or someone you know.

video;

[stungun]

I'm not sure, but I was asked something like that when I arrived. I couldn't answer either.

video;

[departing]

Maybe it's something we have to figure out.

I don't really know, but that's the feeling I get.

[ video ]

[entreats]

Yeah. It happens all the time here, that people are apparently brought in from different moments of time.

It happened to me too, so it's not uncommon at all.

[ video ]

[departing]

You too?

Different moments in time. This is hard to believe.

video

[survived]

I think it would be really alarming to have someone you've been waiting for brought here and then find out that they remember something that you don't.... or if you're sure that something has happened before and they don't remember it.

I don't know what I would do in a situation like that.

video

[departing]

I'm at a loss too. It's just sudden, that's all.

I trust Inori even if our memories don't line up.

[ video ]

[pratentious]

[ He gives this post a thoughtful look before deciding to turn on the response feed. ]

My sister has forgotten three years of what has past in my time. I don't know that it's common, but ... I don't believe that the fault for such rests with you.

[ video ]

[departing]

Three years? A lot can happen in three years.

Maybe, you're right.

Could figuring out the answer to this help restore color here?

video;

[orphean]

I'm not sure why it happens, but it seems to happen a lot - people coming here from different point in time, even if they're from the same world.

video;

[departing]

Even if they're from the same world? That would cause problems, yes.

It would explain what's been going on between us and other things.

[video]

[brighthearted]

Yes.

[ She's thinking of Zack. ]

And I'm still not sure what to think about it. Memories that don't match... I'm starting to wonder if it's a unique trait of this world.

[video]

[departing]

It might be.

I mean. It's never happened to some of us before...until now.

video

[struckout]

It isn't unusual here for people to be pulled from a time different than that of those they know from 'home.'

[ A pause. Yes, he's already been told this and she knows that, but... ]

It isn't impossible for someone to suddenly change in what they last recall as well... while they still remain here in the city.

video

[departing]

Someone can remember things while they're here?

So it's not a permanent thing?

video;

[deadcenter]

Minatsuki says last time she saw me back in our world I didn't have an arm.

So yeah, I know all about that.

video;

[departing]

[Dude, Shu would be in the same position if someone from his world knew about his future. Losing arms why.]

Minatsuki did?

[His voice was in a quiet.]

You have your arm now, right?

[Video]

[voidseeing]

I don't think you're really one to talk about memories.

[Video] 1/5 I think...

[departing]

What do you---[Mean.

His words were cut off because this was an unexpected development.]
