6th Memory [Video][Future-dated to the morning of the 22nd]
[When Sayo finally sits up from her place in the forest, she isn't sure what's happened. She'd been unconscious-'asleep'-and now upon rising she finds her mind is sluggish and trying to catch up with her situation. Brief flashes of a robotic form... being dragged away... and then, it seems, blackness. Little still-frames of cells and strange men in white. But strangely enough, she kept seeing flashes of home-of Kaji and her home. Of the things she's managed to remember. And of three trays of food near a hearth.
The journal flips open slowly to the will of her fingers, before she hugs herself for warmth.]
I... how long was I...
[She lowers her gaze, trying to think clearly. Her feet are refusing to move, so she just sits quietly in place.
But she smiles anyway, no matter how tired she feels, and rubs her face with her palms. There are needle-marks on the inside of her elbow as proof that her Malnosso-empty memory isn't quite as empty as she'd like, but she dismisses them hesitantly. Proof of her experiments.]
I guess I'm back from wherever they took me...
