Ah... More people are leaving.

[ Nodoka sounds a bit lost and scared. She obviously needs to talk about something, but... She can't admit what. As if that weren't enough, the number of people that she knew that are leaving has slowly peaked and it's scaring her more than words can say; she's made a second family here, just like her group of

[ceruleanvices]

There's always hope.

[libraria]

Oh, I... I know that. But it's still scary, isn't it? To think we could just lose people...

[ceruleanvices]

Things happen. But with the way things go here - and the people here, both natives and us foreigners - I doubt the people who leave here truly forget everything. Maybe the small things, but the experiences and the people? Can't forget those.

[libraria]

Do you think there will be things at home that will make us remember? I've heard that can happen.

[pristinestar]

I'm sure they won't forget... There's people here who comes and goes... They seem to usually remember when they come back here.

... Even if they forget, a part of them will recognize those whom they met before. I believe in that kind of thing.

Though, I believe... since time is messed up here due to them picking different times, I believe that's a reason if they did forget completely.

[libraria]

I... I understand, Red-san. [ She still sounds... Lost. ] I hope that if I leave I can at least remember a little. I promised that I wouldn't forget, a-and... I don't want to. Not ever!

[pristinestar]

Then I'm sure that you won't.

If ever you did forget, that's not your fault, because you didn't will to forget or the grounds are just not right - such as you being taken from a timeline before you even came here.

Though... if you keep believing that you will remember, I know... I know you will.

[libraria]

... Right! I-If we have determination surely... Surely we can do anything. I refuse to forget, s-so...

[guiltyguitar]

Ahahah! And how.

[ He chuckles. ]

I'm going to write a song, Rosebud. And I think it's going to be about our three lovebirds. Who knew a mouse, snake, and a cat would make for such odd and interesting bedfellows~?

It's definitely good to see people happy, though, ja? I think... it's better people go home. To be negative is to create the very negativity in the first place, right?

[libraria]

[ The snake automatically rings a bell for her, and she sounds a little... Unsure. ]

Is... Is the snake Crowley-san, Gavin-san? W-Why are you singing a song about him?

[ But then she sounds a little less upset. ]

I am glad people are happy. Being sad and lonely is the worst feeling.

[guiltyguitar]

[ He is secretly also sad and lonely, but he is hiding it well for now. ]

Because these three remind me of the Bermuda Triangle myth: completely perplexing.

[ Hehehehehe. ] Ja, it is. Apparently, he has no idea he's even involved with anyone... I'm starting to worry all of the couples around here are more emotionally dense than concrete, Fräulein. It's a very concerning development.

Love can be poisonous too, although in their case, it seems less like Atroquinine and more like someone dumped a bag of bricks in their heads.

>w< THAT REMINDS ME I need to talk to you about the En/Ak/Doka thread

[libraria]

... E-Eh? Crowley-san is involved with someone? [ She is trying to sound neutral about it, but... Yeah, it's not really working to her advantage. ] Who? I... I didn't think there was anyone that he liked.

[ She does manage to try and laugh at his little ending sentence, though it's not natural. ]

[ninjaservant]

I have to agree it would be a shame to forget everything. But have you ever asked those who came back if they remembered their experience here?

[libraria]

Ah, w-well... No one I know well enough has ever come back.

[ninjaservant]

Aah, that would pose a problem, I suppose. But couldn't you just ask through the network?

[libraria]

Oh, I... I didn't think of that.

[akihikos]

[Forgetting the memories created. This was somewhat familiar.]

We won't forget. [he smiles, trying to reassure her.]

[libraria]

Do you think think so, Sanada-san?

[akihikos]

I do, I promise.

[libraria]

... Thank you.
