And suddenly, the City looks familiar! It's not quite the same, but it's pretty close to home! That's... nice on the one hand, but also doubles the nostalgia. One way or the other, it's pretty amazing. I think this is the first curse that changes the whole City that I witness

You guys must feel right at home.

[revengeisalie]

Yeah, pretty much!

[soulofocean]

It's really pretty! I've been to the market too. Even tried a recipe of mochi.

[revengeisalie]

Thanks.

I saw that. They turned out wonderful!

[kirinofen]

It really does look familiar, huh? It's almost weird.

[revengeisalie]

So it's similar to your home, too? I wasn't aware.

[kirinofen]

Eh, sort of. I was born a few centuries before, but I remember returning to Hourai when it looked like this.

[revengeisalie]

I see! What time period where you born in?

[nojerksplz]

It reminds me a little of home too, even if it's how it would have been in the past.

...you've already been here that long?

Oh, and I've finally remembered, Rin-san! I don't know how I could forget all about here in the first place.

[revengeisalie]

It's pretty familiar, eh?

... yeah. Almost unbelievable, but that's how it is.

Good! Well, ah, it seems something like that was going around. You weren't the only one whose memory was weird.

[nojerksplz]

It is! It made me decide to try to make some traditional sweets like Kasumi would, but they didn't turn out too well I think.

It's hard to believe, that we could end up spending so much time here.

I'm so sorry I didn't remember you, it was so rude of me. There were other people who started forgetting?

[revengeisalie]

Really? I gotta try those, too! If you don't mind.

Yeah.

No, it wasn't your fault, after all! ... well, Manji thought I was his sister for a few days. It was pretty daunting.

[guardianjoker]

It's similar to your home?

[revengeisalie]

Yes! I'm from... what's probably the past for a lot of people here, or so it seems, anyway.

[guardianjoker]

Really? What time period are you from?

[revengeisalie]

I'm from the fourth year of Kansei, or 1792, as I was told.

[somekindofsin]

Might I ask what tango no sekku is? Specifically, of course... contextually, it's clear enough that it's a holiday.

[revengeisalie]

It's the beginning of the summer season, and also Boy's Day!

[somekindofsin]

Oh! Ah... what does one do to celebrate Boy's Day?

[revengeisalie]

One hangs up streamers in the shape of carps, because they're a symbol for strength and resilience, and wishes for prosperity for one's sons.
