*Immediately after Yuma and Yuya are both taken to the infirmary to get treatment...

Labrys walks outside after making sure Yuya was getting taken care of. It's likely that the both of them are going to have to take time to recover, which means... She makes a sound to herself. Of disappointment, anger, and frustration.*

[grimgrimwar]

...hey.

[Alex wants to get back to Yuya and Yuma as quickly as possible. But before that, she approaches Labrys, knowing she may be gone soon.]

[1/2]

[tachyonparticle]

*... she steels her expression, and turns to look at Alex, to make a response.*

[tachyonparticle]

*... but once she actually faces her, her stony look falters.*

[grimgrimwar]

...

[Alex is feeling a lot of things right now. Anger (well, she's always feeling that), maybe a couple hints of betrayal. But upon seeing that expression, she can't help but soften up a bit.]

...are you okay?

[tachyonparticle]

*she shakes her head*

No. I'm sorry. There are... a lot of things on my mind. Some things I've heard. Some things I remember, thanks to today.

[grimgrimwar]

...like what?

[tachyonparticle]

*... she looks away before she speaks again*

Aegis, and Achilles. They told me things, about their... encounter with your group. I know that one of the boys in there managed to help defeat them. I guess I can't help but be a little impressed there, but... That isn't the point.

The point is. They told me that they informed you and your friends, your allies, that we used to have allies of our own. People who tried to stand by us, despite the odds. Despite the risks. ... I've witnessed something similar what happened to Yuma Tsukumo, before, to our allies.

[grimgrimwar]

...yeah.

They warned us about what the Astrals are capable of.

[...]

But then, the Astrals didn't do this to Yuma, did they.

[tachyonparticle]

No. This is... Because of Caduceus's creation, and of my own ignorance. I don't know exactly what happened to lead to it, but... The chaotic energy that had surrounded him. I know what it must have come from. If I ignore that... then I'll be no better than Caduceus.

*she bows her head* I apologize. I could not predict that this could have occurred, when I handed him that card. Even with my warning, it's no excuse for my part in this.

[grimgrimwar]

[...one of Alex's hands at her side makes a fist.]

You can see the future, right?

[tachyonparticle]

... I can... see the future, yes, but it's limited.

My strange properties only allow me to see successes. It allows me to see what could be considered the best path, even if sometimes, that path has pitfalls. It allows me to have confidence in what I do, and in what others decide to do. It's why I could trust that boy to dispel the chaotic energy himself.

As a result though... I can't see the dangers. I can't see the risks. I can only react to them as they come. ... Even with my faith, I was still worried about what might happen.

[grimgrimwar]

...

...

[Alexandra's hands shake. Her voice does as well. She looks and sounds a little bit scared.]

Can you see if I'm about to forgive you or if I'm about to attack you?

[tachyonparticle]

I can see successes, but it doesn't mean I can predict the individuals. *... she shakes her head, suddenly looking more serious.*

Even if I were capable of that... I wouldn't want to. I don't try to predict what others do-- that would be manipulative of me, and the last thing I would want to do... is lower myself to having to do that.

I will take anything you decide to do. And I will react how I see fit. That is my only position.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

...

You again.

::The boy from the temple in China who was with Yuma stands before you, in his Obelisk Blue Uniform.::

[tachyonparticle]

*when she sees you, she's surprised-- after all, why is this boy here...? she does recall seeing your face before.*

... Yes. Me, again. If you're concerned about my presence... It's only temporary. I'm here only for an emergency.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

I'm not angry or. Anything like that. It's more.

::Stuffs his hannds into his pocket.::

When I was watching you crush the other Number Hunter, I had this strange feeling. I'm can't describe it. Like a nagging feeling in the back of my head. Like... the best thing I can think of is "Echoes of rain drops".

[tachyonparticle]

*... okay. Now she's curious.*

... Or like a memory you couldn't describe or grasp?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

::Pulls his hand out, index finger out, swinging it down.::

Exactly like that. Like a memory I've forgotten, drifting on the edge of forever. Beyond my reach. A memory that I can't remember. But it's empty. Something made of nothing. If that makes any sense.

The question I have, is why would I have that feeling? We've never met before.

[tachyonparticle]

... No. We have not. I don't... Even know your name.

What do you call yourself?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Kanzawa Koyo. It means something like "The Swamp of the Cold Wind" and "Antiquity".

[tachyonparticle]

Kanzawa...

Why do you think you're experiencing this? Do your thoughts lead you to any conclusions, when you try to focus upon it?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

I'm crazy, we've met and we've both had our memories erased, the pressure of the Duel was getting to me, or the surrondings were overwhelming me.

The latter two would be the most sensible. As the first is not something I want.

[tachyonparticle]

No one enjoys considering the idea that they may be unstable. Though I would think that if you were, you would not be approaching me calmly, like this.

... There may be one other option, however...

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Which is?

::Stuffs his hand back into his pocket.::

[tachyonparticle]

... There are two of our number, who are missing. They went missing some years ago, and we don't know if they exist anymore or not.

One possible option though... is that they may have passed on their will and their power to others, in order to survive. ... Do you understand what I'm getting at?
