With one less worry to concern ourselves about, I am come to you today as I wished to speak with you—namely, about that memory we experienced in the previous week.
We began in a castle, where the servants were preparing for a great feast being held by the king. Not long after, the king had gone missing, and the task of finding them again was placed on us. Though, I have my suspicions a castle may mean little to you—am I correct?
Aye, that we were. I had assumed the role of librarian in my time there, while Ruby—or, erm, Lup? [ Whichever one she's most well known by now. ] Was to be the king's handmadien; I spent most of my time there with her, and I suppose it is because of her role that she was approached to locate the king.
As for them, well...
[ So, the thing Alphinaud carried out with him is the sketchbook he totes around often; he pulls it out, shuffles through a few loose papers tucked within, and slips forth a portait drawn of a girl. ]
This is the like of the king, as I remember it. She didn't seem terribly well-liked with her subjects, but... ah, well. I had hoped, at least, by having this she may be recognizable by one of you Leaders. Do you recall this girl any?
So the school does have to do with this after all. You see, though we were within a castle, there were... flickers of else place entirely—-classrooms and the like. I had been under the assumption the castle was but a front for the true memory underneath.
Um, the girl. She's someone really important where I'm from, to the point where there are various different organizations studying her. She's unaware of it all.
I see... I do have another question, on that note.
[ Once again he pulls out another sheet of paper; this time, it has a portrait of Knife Girl(tm) drawn on it. ]
Ruby and I encountered this girl within the castle; she pursued us with great determination, but she had said one thing I have been curious about—she had wanted the king– [ Rabbit's... friend? ] –to be left to her own devices, as to be the cause of another "reset".
... I'm not sure who this is. She's also probably from where I'm from, but I don't think I've regained any memories of her yet.
[ ... ]
But I think I know what she meant. Um, the girl--the king, she has special powers that could potentially cause a lot of damage. The organizations that are keeping an eye on her all have different theories on how it works, but there's a general consensus that she'd be able to rewrite the world if she ever got too bored of it.
I... think that, when you guys go to these places, they probably pull things from our memories that might potentially match up with the situations here.
Um, if it helps, the only reason I could even tell is because I've gotten back enough memories to realize it. So I wouldn't beat yourselves up over it.
Even so, what we could have potentially found may have been of great import to our overall cause. That we fumbled so is still a disappointment to hear.
... But if you say it is not worth dwelling too hard upon, then I shall not. Nevertheless, I should take responsibility—'twas mine own hand that ended it, after all.

Would you mind telling me about it? No one has yet, so I only have a vague understanding of what happened.

no subject
Right. Can you tell me more about the king and what was expected of you there? Did you get split up like other groups did?

She goes to my school. [ ... ] Um. We're in a club together.

[ How peculiar. ]
That may explain her own role—she certainly did not act the part of a king. She seemed far more occupied with being entertained, if anything.

no subject
So it was a warning—to us? That this reset may occur here, too?
no subject
No, I think this is our last chance. I don't think they're meant to give us very blatant answers when it comes to what you guys experience there.
no subject
Naught more than a parallel, then. I had been wondering what it meant... whether it was a true warning, or but another part of the memory.
no subject
I think the more important clues are the items people get. But um, I think you guys may have done some things... wrong... so you didn't get those.
no subject
Well. That explains that. I had someone ask about those, you see.

—Ahem. Mistakes aside, I do hope this was of some usefulness to you, if naught else.
no subject
So thank you.
