[Save for some background noise, the feed begins with a moment of peace and quiet. When Yuuko's voice breaks the silence, she's singing a slow, soft tune in Japanese:]

Sasa no ha sara sara
nokiba ni yureru
Ohoshi-sama kira kira
kin gin sunago

Go shiki no tanzaku
watashi ga kaita
Ohoshi-sama kira kira
sora kara miteru

Ah... that's right. That was the other day, wasn't it...

[dreamgranter]

To some people, yes. To others, it is today.

[truthsfortune]

I suppose. Regardless of the exact date, it is at least a good way to keep proper track of the time back home.

[dreamgranter]

And does time back home really flow while you're here?

[truthsfortune]

That is something I have thought extensively about. When I investigated the matter it appeared to vary. There are some reports that it didn't and some that it did.

However I suppose it was more accurate for me to say that it allows us as individuals to keep track of time back home, regardless of whether or not it is actually moving forward.

[dreamgranter]

That would be more accurate, yes. Everything else is uncertain in this place.

[truthsfortune]

I'm aware. It is quite frustrating to have so many questions without answers.

[dreamgranter]

Quite. One gets used to it after such a long time, though.

[truthsfortune]

... Perhaps that's what I am afraid of.

[dreamgranter]

It is a fear you might have to face, though.

[truthsfortune]

Yes... I know given that I was apparently previously here for quite some time.

[dreamgranter]

And you don't remember that previous stay, isn't that right?

[truthsfortune]

That's correct. It's made things a bit awkward for me as a result.

[dreamgranter]

I understand. I suppose I was somewhat luckier than you, then-- if this whole ordeal can be called luck, that is.

[truthsfortune]

Then you have left before and returned but kept your memories intact?

[dreamgranter]

Not quite. I was told I had been here twice before, and my lack of memories hasn't affected my current stay.
