✪ Stop! Beware of crystals! ✪ [Text]

[loyal_cube]

Discedo,
Avoid touching the mysterious crystals. At least, until we figure out what they are and if they have ill intentions or effects besides visual and audio display.

So far, my experience with them have not been positive and from seeing other reactions, I have doubts there will any. Please proceed with uppermost cation.

In addition, any ideas as to what these are or what they're here for?

[It's all the loli's fault, Cube.]

Mii. I do not know. I do not think they belong here, so hopefully their presence is temporary.

...I saw my friends.

[loyal_cube]

I agree. Their presence... I hope they leave shortly and quietly.

R-really?! That is nice .... specially in this place. I'm glad Rika-chan is alright...

[princessofmoe.livejournal.com]

...Are you alright?

[loyal_cube]

It's nothing Rika-chan needs to concern herself with.

[princessofmoe.livejournal.com]

...

What did you see?

[loyal_cube]

...

I'm not... quite sure myself, Rika-chan.

I saw weddings I didn't have...

... and a very ill young girl.

[princessofmoe.livejournal.com]

[She pauses to think. ...So, that's what the Fragments are showing as well. It can't be a memory from the future, so it has to be showing an alternate world of some sort.]

...That is strange. [Is all she can really say. She cannot fully explain it to him without giving away that she and Hanyuu are the source of everything.]

[loyal_cube]

I suppose I should be happy to witness myself being married but...

... it... it just isn't right.

So, I'll keep my guard up for now.

[princessofmoe.livejournal.com]

...Maybe it is "another you".

[loyal_cube]

As in.. an alternate reality? That's...

That's what Tails-san said too.

Even so, I- I ... [He can't piece together his words right now]

... I hope that's all it is, then.

[princessofmoe.livejournal.com]

...Alternate realities are possible, you see.

[loyal_cube]

I know they are, Rika-chan. I fled with the Mistress to an alternate reality of our own so she could live...

... but I didn't think ... what I saw would be possible too.

[princessofmoe.livejournal.com]

It is not the memory of "this you". Do not worry too much about it.

[loyal_cube]

It's hard not to... Specially when you see someone you care for in that sort of condition, Rika-chan....

[princessofmoe.livejournal.com]

But what can the "you" of this world do about it? Shouldn't you be more concerned with the current world? It is up to the "other you" of that world to care for that person.

[loyal_cube]

Well, obviously he isn't. It's not fair Musume-sama has to be sick like that. She's been through enough and-

...

I... I suppose there .... is nothing I can do but...

[He droops]

I-I'm sorry, Rika-chan. I suppose I... I should just... maybe I'll get something to calm my nerves.

[princessofmoe.livejournal.com]

...In your world, how is that girl? Is she healthy?

[loyal_cube]

She was healthy an preparing to marry the prince...

... I've never seen her that ill of all the time I've assisted in raising her...

[princessofmoe.livejournal.com]

Is she happy?

[loyal_cube]

I- I hope so. She ... she seemed to be. Why wouldn't she be...?

[princessofmoe.livejournal.com]

I see. Amongst all these world Fragments, you know there is one Musume-sama that is living a healthy and happy life at least.

[And an unusual pause because she just remembered your name.] ... ... Cube.

[loyal_cube]

World fragments....

I do. And she'll be happiest once she is married to the Prince.

...

Hm? Is something the matter, Rika-chan?

[princessofmoe.livejournal.com]

...

It's nothing.

[loyal_cube]

Oh. Okay.

I'm sorry if I worried you. I'll try not to think about the 'other' Musume-sama...

I hope you find more happy memories, Rika-chan.
