Hey, everyone! I'm out of the elevator now. How long was I in there? (Was it less than a month?)
Is everyone okay?
And what's going on now? It doesn't look like I got back in the middle of a monster invasion, at least. Just a colorful sheep invasion... Are the [twirly line] fake copies of people still around? I sure hope not. They were (or are)

[There are several large bites taken out of the page. Turns out the sheep like the taste of Lix's journal as well as his sleeves.]
Guessing it's just the tree at work again and your name still isn't actually Kweh, huh?

No, I'm still not Kweh. But I do have a couple of things you might be able to see!

Really? Sounds good. Where are you?

I'm by the elevator. Think your friends will let you leave?

Well, I can try!
[Lix eventually makes his way over to the elevator, followed by a small herd of rainbow sheep. He ruffles Krile's hair, laughing.]
Good to see you again. You hungry or anything after being stuck in there?
Reply
...Yeah, actually I am. It was way past dinnertime when I saw the elevator doors again. And I guess now it's breakfast or lunch?
[Speaking of--she looks askance at one sheep that starts munching on the candle she inadvertantly brought back.]
Hey, there--oh! [Reminded of Things From Bal, she reaches into a pocket and pulls out a small coin. It's one of the ones she spat out and washed off after the lanterns. There's an old man stamped on the front.] ...Do you recognize this?
Reply
...that's the old guy, isn't it? The one who- [He pauses there but something about the man on the coin and not recalling someone important seems to add up. Vaguely.] -that guy. He was with the girl with the pink hair and the- [Another pause where he waves his arms around in a gesture that doesn't really have any clear meaning.] -person.
Reply
Yup, that's him. [She fidgets a little with the half-eaten candle.] I don't know if the other two were ever on coins. But this old guy is my grandpa.
[She pauses.] Galuf. Did you hear that, or just another kweh?
Reply
It's- not Kupo. No, not Kupo. I know this, it's- Ga- ...luf? That's what you said, right? Galuf.
Reply
Yes, that's right! Galuf. [She hugs him on an impulse, and then gives a sharp look to the sheep.] Hey, you. Quit snacking on his shirt.
Reply
[Lix grins, hugging back, but just shrugs as the shirt-eating.]
Let 'em. I'm going to see if I can shear them for rainbow wool later anyway.
Reply
[She lets go, but leans against him for a moment longer.]
I'm glad you worked it out. Somehow I don't think Grandpa would want anyone to think his name was kupo.
Reply
I'll figure out yours too, eventually. Promise.

[She straightens up with a more serious look, though.] There are... some things you need to know. But if I tell you and you start to feel dizzy or achey--anything like that at all--tell me right away. Okay?
Reply
[He seems a little confused by that.] Sure. But- dizzy?
Reply
Yeah. Sometimes... [She glances up at the Tree warily. This may not be the best place for such a discussion, but--] if you learn too much about your past, too quickly, it can make you feel sick. Maybe even kill you.
So we need to be careful. Really careful.
