[ A young woman with pink hair and blue eyes appears in the video, staring back at the viewer with clear irritation. She doesn't say anything for a while and judging by the movement of the camera, she seems to be walking somewhere. At length, the movement - and thus, the girl - stops and her eyes lift from the camera, scanning her surroundings

You are far from home. As am I.

[ A... a unicorn? A talking unicorn. First, a child Yuna, a Kain who doesn't recognize her, and now... this? She's reminded of the Warrior of Light, Cosmos' "knight in shining armor". More fairytales... ]

Where is your home? I didn't know unicorns were still alive in this place.

[The Unicorn manages to look slightly amused. Turning her head to the side, she gets a good look at Lightning.]

Do you know where you are? Perhaps there are more like me here.

[ Lightning is a little suspicious of the way the... unicorn is looking at her. Is she being mocked by a mythical creature? When she answers, she speaks slowly and deliberately, letting it be known she's not sure what to make of the creature speaking to her, but she doesn't raise her voice and she's careful not to inject any anger. Fairytale or no, she's seen enough since she's been with Cosmos to know that this place is capable of pulling anything out of its hat. ]

...No, I don't. I only know that this is not where I should be.

[ And that may be true, but she's genuinely only a few breathes away from believing the unicorn is, in fact, real and not a hallucination of some sort. ]

You and I share that conclusion. My world is nothing like this one. [There is something...nostalgic...about her tone. Though she does not like remembering what she has lost.] Did you awaken to a Moogle as well?

[She still isn't sure what a Moogle is, but it was helpful. In its own way.]

[zantetsukenlcie]

[ A Moogle... Lightning remembers the little thing shoving the phone at her. Strange and not how she remembers her first arrival in the conflict of the gods, but not enough to rule out she is in a new world entirely. ]

I did. There were Moogles where I last woke up too. The "end of the world" spiel is new, but no memories of how we got here, no one around who feels like family, nothing familiar around us... It's just like the last time.

[ She shakes her head at the unicorn though. ]

But why would Cosmos summon a unicorn... Only Moogles are supposed to be left besides the warriors.

[awhitemare]

[The Unicorn is silent, allowing Lightning to have her say. But when the woman stops speaking, she shakes her head.]

You are not under Cosmos's jurisdiction. [Surely the woman was no different than anyone else? The Unicorn is observant and very wise.] We were all taken from our homes and brought here. I do not think you know this world. But, if you do, I would like to meet with you.

That's what happened last time - Cosmos took us all from our home worlds to fight a war for her. Monsters...

[ She nearly shivers thinking about the manikins again. ]

...and Chaos. Maybe the cycle of unending war has started over.

[ But that wouldn't explain why she remembers it... Kain said they didn't know about the cycle because their memories were wiped. ]

If the goddess isn't here though... then I guess you're right.

[ It happened once, so it could happen again. ]

Do you have a name?
