[Poland was staring at this unconscious man who he was very sure he should recognize. He felt like he knew the name and it was on the tip of his tongue, but it wasn't coming to him.

He doesn't talk, though. Talking to strangers, even ones you are sure you know somehow, is not something he does.]

[harmonicmelodia]

[Frederic turns his head to see Poland and his heart skips a beat for a moment, a sudden recognition of the other coming to him. Something inside was trying to get him to say the name, but he couldn't figure out. Thus, he decides to walk towards Poland to talk with him.]

Excuse me sir, have we met before? You seem very familiar to me.

[turnmytable]

[Poland blushes a little. This stranger is talking to him and something is telling him he should talk to him, but that requires getting past his anxiety.]

Um...I think?

[He doesn't say that too loudly and that took all his willpower to say.]

[harmonicmelodia]

[Frederic starts to ponder why this person feels familiar to him, but he can't quite pinpoint as to why.]

May I...ask for your name? I do apologize if that is rude of me.

[gesangvoll]

[Austria is out and wandering about Espoir today, actually not lost for once. He can find his way around the village much easier than he can the city, but that's beside the point. There's a very familiar person standing around in the Plaza. Someone he thought had disappeared, but apparently came back. He is quite happy to see Chopin back, actually, because he did miss him, even with Mozart and Salieri around.]

Chopin? You've returned?

[harmonicmelodia]

[Frederic leaves his thoughts when Austria speaks to him, though he looks at the other with a puzzled expression upon his face.]

I beg your pardon? I have...been here before and you know of me, sir?

[gesangvoll]

[Well, he knows he shouldn't really be surprised that Chopin didn't recognize him. It did happen before, after all. He still can't help but feel a bit disappointed, though.]

Yes, you have. Forgive me for not introducing myself earlier, then. My name is Austria, but Roderich Edelstein works just as well.

[harmonicmelodia]

[He's very familiar with the name, but seeing Austria in a physical human form is rather surprising.]

You are Austria? But how is that possible?

[handfulmagica]

[Oh, that was a face that she never expected to see again so soon. A little girl carrying a violin case approaches him, catching what he had just said when she was close enough. She smiles.]

It's a little bit of both, I think. It's a collective dream shared between people from different worlds. Even if you don't remember, this isn't your first time being here, Mr. Chopin.

[harmonicmelodia]

[The young girl startles Frederic and her words confuse him, especially when she says he has been to this world before.]

Ah, I see. But...I have been here before and you knew of me?

[handfulmagica]

[She nods.]

Yes, it may be a little hard to believe, but... Sometimes, when people end up 'waking up' from this world but get pulled back into it again, they either remember it or they don't. It's a pretty common occurrence.

[Which reminds her---]

Ah! My name is Sayaka, by the way. You taught me the basics of piano before your disappearance. I've been keeping practice, but I've also picked up the violin with the help of Mr. Mozart. [Obviously, with the instrument she's been carrying around.] I'm a huge admirer of you music, so it's very nice to meet you... Again!

[harmonicmelodia]

[He listens intently to Sayaka and then answers when she's finished.]

I'm sorry I do not remember any of this, Miss Sayaka. Especially since you are a student of mine, perhaps we could continue the lessons now that I've returned? And it is a pleasure to meet you again as well. [Although he does need to question one thing since it caught his attention.] By the way, did you say Mozart? Mozart himself is here?

[Seeing Frederic on the ground wasn't a good sign for Polka. It wasn't the first time this had happened, and last time she remembered how worried she was when she couldn't do anything.]

Frederic! [Polka rushes over towards him, then kneels down looking at him] Are you alright? D-did it happen again?

[harmonicmelodia]

[Frederic recognized that voice right away and a very large chill rushed through his body, his head quickly turning up to look at Polka with an expression of terrified shock. No matter how much he tried to speak, no words came from his lips as his body began to slightly tremble.]

[orangeglow_heal]

Frederic? [The silence didn't help her get over her panic, that was for certain.

He didn't seem to be out of breath though as far as she could tell, so maybe nothing was wrong and he had just collapsed due to the heat?

She hadn't notice him tremble as she was too busy worrying about his health]

[harmonicmelodia]

[She couldn't be alive, could she? No, it has to be an illusion or something else. But at the same time, she was right in front of him and looking concerned. He needed to calm himself and act rational, the ghosts of his past were not about to haunt him. Despite still trembling a little, he gave Polka a gentle smile.]

I'm doing well Polka, it's...good to see you again.

[clonezart]

You look the same to me.

[harmonicmelodia]

[He's startled by the voice from behind him.]

Excuse me? Who are you?

[clonezart]

[Chopin was one of the first ones to welcome him into Somarium so he's utterly confused.]

Haven't we been over this already? I'm Mozart!

[harmonicmelodia]

[Frederic's taken back and bows his head to him.]

...You are Mozart? As in the great composer and pianist Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Oh my goodness, please excuse my manners. It is an honor to meet you, sir.
