[ action/voice ; at All Passions ]

[ After defeating the last person standing in their way before reaching Van this was not what Natalia was expecting. One moment she just gets finished getting scolded (and slapped) by Jade and the next moment? ]

Where am I?

[ She's in between some clothes on the rack at All Passions. She shifts around trying to get up and feels the journal beside her. Unknowingly to her the same fall that caused her to end up the racks also cause the journal to start recording. So she simply picks it up and examines it not knowing that people can hear her. ]

This doesn't look like any journal I've seen. It's certainly not Luke's...

[ She takes a look around again and frowns. ]

Whoever's idea this is certainly does not understand how urgent our situation is. But who could have done this...

[ How strange. She can't think of anyone who could have done this. Everyone on Van's side is well... dead. And even though the ability to transport them somewhere?

But not only that-- ]

Ah-- These are not the clothes I was wearing before.
Whoever has done this better be ready to explain when I find out who they are.

[ She manages to get out of the clothes rack and ends up shutting off the journal in the process of doing so. She takes a look around the store for anything tha could help her understand where she is. This includes stopping and looking at some plushies are in the store because wow they're cute. ]


[ action ; around the village ]
[ You can find Natalia wandering around Luceti. She's not in her normal clothes but she will be in clothes she got from All Passion. Feel free to bump into her in anyway you wish. ]

Last thing I remember? We had just finished conversing after defeating Sync.

[ It wasn't exactly pleasant conversation so she won't go into detail. But she doesn't like that you're asking because shouldn't you be remembering the same? ]

[wildsaber]

[... She doesn't know. She hasn't seen him disappear.]

So that's how it is, huh. [He glances to the side. Should he tell her? But she'll just get upset all over again. ... No. If she remembers losing Asch, she'll cry over Luke again.

He can't do that to her.]

I'm not sure how, but our memories get messed with when we're brought here. Sometimes we don't remember being here before. Sometimes we seem to be from a different time than other people, so our memories are different.

[ofnobleheart]

[ She folds her arms and frowns. From the sounds of it Luke is implying that he is remembering something different than what she does. ]

So then what is the last thing you remember, Luke?

[wildsaber]

I—

[He almost tells her, right then. Lays his secrets bare. But he can't, not when she's so new. Maybe after she calms down a bit. Maybe after he speaks to the others about it.

Sorry, Natalia.]

We defeated Van.

[ofnobleheart]

On Eldrant?

[ She had to be sure since they had thought he was defeated back in the Absorption Gate prior. ]

[wildsaber]

[... Whoops, because he didn't consider someone might actually forget things that far back.]

Yeah, on Eldrant.

[He hesitates, but forges on anyway.]

-- Asch is okay. [Here, anyway.] I know, it surprised me too... but he's doing really well.

[ofnobleheart]

Asch?

[ Her heart almost stopped hearing that name. ]

Is he.. is he here?

[ Hearing that he here and well after hearing that he's dead just moments ago makes the latter feel like it never happened. But it's.. it's wrong to believe that, isn't it. ]
