The return

[star_of_sad]

[Setsuko looked around various locations in Unity Group bases. The memorial, with Chief's name written on it. The hangar, where remains of Virgola unit 3 rest, its combat data and special attack already transferred to the first unit. All to realize - yes, she did not make it up. The recent past is as painful as she thought it was.

Yet there is still hope.]

I'm sorry for worrying everyone. I was transported to Paradigm City, and also lost my memory... I don't know why. But I think that... whatever is responsible for all that happens to me, was trying to protect me somehow.

I won't accept that. I can't lie low and do nothing for the rest of my life. That'd be disrespectful to Chief. And there's Toby - he wasn't with me. But somehow... I just know he's still alive. I'm sure of it. And I'm going to find him.


It's good to be back.

Yeah, and you'd think somebody would notice an entire city disappearing. Or at least there was an area people didn't know what was in, but kept avoiding.

[star_of_sad]

Maybe... I mean, don't take it the wrong way, but maybe there was something supernatural going on there.

[majestic_keiki]

With all the things I've seen since joining Unity Group that wouldn't surprise me.

[star_of_sad]

Yeah. I'm one of those things, so...

[majestic_keiki]

[There was a long, awkward pause before Setsuko got any replies.]

I didn't mean it like that.

[star_of_sad]

No, I didn't mean to imply that you did, either!

It's just that... there's already something weird going on about me, so it means I can accept other supernatural events easily because I know they actually happen. That's all.

[majestic_keiki]

I guess that's true...But I think that by now, most people around here have come to just accept it. Hard to explain much of what's happened here without it.

[star_of_sad]

Maybe... all of it makes sense from a scientific point of view. The technology used is just too advanced.

I know, it's quite far fetched.

[majestic_keiki]

It's not more far fetched than magic...I guess the world is just stranger than we used to think.

[star_of_sad]

I wonder what other strange phenomena will we stumble across... hopefully some friendly ones for a change.

[majestic_keiki]

Yeah...But some have been. Seta is pretty weird and seems nice, for example. And Paradigm City seems more weird than anything else.

I wonder what else, we'll run into, though...
