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?]

[pratentious]

Possibly. It's certainly caused its share of turmoil, and it is said that interaction revives the city. Perhaps they feed off our emotions - whether positive or negative.

[ ... And that sounds utterly absurd, so he makes a sour face. ]

I can't believe I've actually just said that.

[This is depressing.]

Of all things, why interactions?

Some of us aren't good at talking with others.

[pratentious]

...Perhaps that's precisely why. Strengthening this world as well as strengthening yourself. An opportunity of sorts.

[departing]

They couldn't have expected us to suddenly agree with that.

[ video ]

[pratentious]

No, and they should not have. There is much about this realm that is unjust.

[ video ]

[departing]

It's just sudden and ...a lot of us want to know why.

[ video ]

[pratentious]

So we fight until we find the answer - or until we are returned to our homes. There is little else we can do.

[departing]

You're right about that, I guess.

There isn't much we can do.
