[To say that these past weeks have been difficult would be putting it far too lightly, and placing her ongoing situation into a kinder light that hardly matched the turmoil she felt. Everyone she had spoken with had acted so strangely around her that she wasn't sure what to do or what to think, leading her to avoid speaking with anyone

Are you referring to where we believed we lived during that particular experiment?

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

... If that is how you remember it, then yes. [Richard, you have no idea how sad it makes her to hear that from one of her 'sons.']

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Might I ask how you remember it, then?

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

Well... from what I know, you're my eldest son, Richard...

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Your eldest son...

[So he was right-- it is like that experiment. But it's clear that she truly believes it was real. What does he do?]

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

[Tear remains silent, unsure of what to say or do. His tone alone confirms that he is not a part of the Luceti she remembers.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

What is the last thing you remember happening?

[He's pretty sure he knows what's going on, but he just wants to confirm it.]

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

The last thing, prior to being found? I was sent to participate in the war, though I wasn't aware that others I knew were also sent... including Ion. [Which is something she is still not happy about.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Do you mean the battle in the farmlands, when I was ill?

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

The farmlands...? [She doesn't remember having fought out there recently.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

... or somewhere else?

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

It was a rainforest. A sort of escort mission, but in reality we were there to fight and keep Third Party at bay.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I see. I do remember that particular draft, but that was several months ago. A considerable amount of time has passed since then.

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

So I've been told, and all evidence seems to point to that being the reason why I remember things differently than everyone else.

It's most likely an effect from the kidnapping, meaning that it's only temporary-- though it's impossible to tell just how long it will last.

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

If this is truly the effect of a kidnapping... [Did she want it to end soon, really? It would put an end to the confusion and growing sense of anxiety she had harbored since returning.]
