[Fyra is out on a public mountain trail not too far from the resort - mostly to see the sights. She requires an escort, and you've been chosen to tag along so she doesn't get into trouble.
As you begin to head back and pass by a healthy cypress specimen near the path's starting point, the Rider stops to help pick up a stuffed animal that fell out of a mysterious young girl's hands.
Said girl is dressed in traditional Japanese garb, which is quite unusual in itself...]
...
"Thank you, miss...! I-"
[The girl is initially delighted to receive her toy back, but that quickly changes when she gazes up at the person who assisted her. Her eyes widen, and that joy is quickly replaced by an expression the UG would have seen many times on the faces of helpless civilians and hostages: fear.]
"I-I have to go now..."
[She immediately turns around and hurriedly walks away. And before your very eyes, she vanishes...
This does not escape Fyra, either.]
...?
[However, there is another besides you who has just witnessed this: an off-road motorbike stopped on the dirt. That being none other than a certain steed awaiting his master, only in a much less conspicuous form.
When the coast is clear, he recites a particular line - one that he has recently learned of.]
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him... this is what most believe these days, isn't it?
It has been like this on our outings since Arabia. I wonder...what did that girl see?
...
[In the backdrop, the cypress tree's branches sway from a sudden breeze...]

[Setsuko takes a step forward, the expression not escaping her.]
What's wrong?

That is what the four exist for in your legends. There must be some truth to it.
[She gazes up at the symbolic tree.]
I have no intention of letting it come to that. But this is something I must know.

Even if the Horsemen are supposed to bring biblical doom to humanity - I trust you will make a good choice.

Should I reach that point, where my commands are restored, I may no longer have a mind of my own.

[Setsuko takes a deep breath.]
But nothing good comes only from hoping, does it? If it ever happens, that you lose free will, everyone will try to bring you back somehow. Even though we're not sure how... but we're going to try.

The reason I am seeking this information is because this involves the safety of this world. The Unity Group is strong... but preparation can help protect the innocent.
[The bike form of Morte does not move, but it's almost as if it's staring at Setsuko now.]
There are four horsemen - four of us. Going by your texts, each appears to be designed to spread chaos across the planet.
We must be ready if these others do decide to awaken, or if they are awakened by outside forces. It's likely they will not be as cooperative as we have.

That's because, well. This kind of thing has happened already, more than once. Sometimes we succeeded and sometimes we failed, but we always tried.
This is why, we need to learn as much about the two of you as possible. That's also a part of preparation.

[The steed suddenly chuckles. It's definitely a first, but he finds this both admirable and very amusing.]
Ha ha... I suppose if gods cannot stop you, there is nothing we can do to deter you from that either.
...You also speak the truth. As soon as we get the opportunity to, there is one place I would like to visit.

A place to visit? Something you remember from your past?

One of its members joined the group recently.
[She raises her hands above her head, trying to mimic a certain Kijin's prehensile hair.]
I have not been able to approach her...
From:

...
Do you mean Astara? Gloster Foundation? Is that where you want to go?
From:
no subject
The Kijin were also present in the era that gave birth to us.
If anyone has such information from that time period, it would be them.
From:
no subject
Well. It sounds like your next step is already set, then.
