[ Voice ] [ Attempted lock from Mytho ]

[wings_of_hope]

[ There's a moment of silence before there's a meek clearing of a throat. And then another pause before the girl's voice comes through the device-- ]

I just... I just wondered... Who else here has had other people come from home and--

[ She hesistates for a moment, but then continues. ]

A-And they're from a different time and things happened and now you don't know what to think or feel about a lot of--

[ Ahiru cuts off yet again, a longer pause hanging in the air before sighs and speaks very quickly, almost tripping over her words as they come out in a sheepish mess. ]

I'msorryIshouldn'thavesaidanything.

[ The feed quickly statics out. ]

[ ooc: Distressed ducky is distressed, but ashamed of her own feelings on the matter. ]

It's weird. I feel like I know a lot of things I shouldn't know yet, now.

[voice]

[wordsgate]

So you're from a later time than they are?

[voice]

[wings_of_hope]

...They're from the later time. So when I talked to them... well, I didn't know about any of that stuff happening. It's weird knowing about it now.

[ And now she doesn't know how she would feel when she goes home, already knowing how things are supposed to play out in the story. Would that mean the story was already over when she returned? Would she just be a duck again? ]

[voice]

[wordsgate]

...Oh. I see. That's even more confusing.

[voice]

[wings_of_hope]

I guess it happens to a lot of people here. Some even have others come from years past.

I dunno how it works.

[ And it makes her head hurt to even think about it. ]

[voice]

[wordsgate]

It doesn't seem like very many people here understand how this "BREW" device works.

[He pauses for a moment, trying to think of what it'd be like to learn something that would happen years into the future. Actually, the more he thinks about it, there's a few things he wouldn't mind knowing about...]

...There might not be anything wrong with taking advantage of that sort of knowledge, if you can use it to help other people.

[wings_of_hope]

I wonder if it would change things too much, though... I guess I did what I always wanted to do, but...

[ It feels empty, when she hasn't even gone through it, herself. Did she just return the rest of Mytho's heart and that was all...? It didn't seem that simple. ]

I never actually did it. And I'm not looking forward to um... what happens afterward.

[ She'll just be a duck again. The story will be over. Everyone will forget about her, right?

...She should just be happy for Mytho. That's all she ever wanted, right? Just to see him smile. Why doesn't that make her happy now? ]

[Sasame's a bit hesitant to assume too much now that he can't hear the "inner voices" from sound leafe anymore. But...Ahiru's obviously worried about something, and he wants to help, so he does his best to understand.]

I see. So...things didn't turn out the way you were hoping. Is that what you mean?

[voice]

[wings_of_hope]

No--No, they did! I just uh...

[ She's not even sure how to word it. It's awful of her to even feel that way about it, isn't it? She always knew she was just a duck. ]

It's just confusing, I guess...

[voice]

[wordsgate]

[Okay. So...wrong guess. Maybe. Now he's a bit confused himself.]

I don't think anyone would blame you for being confused. It sounds...complicated.

[voice]

[wings_of_hope]

[ She chuckles a little uneasily. ]

Yeah, I guess you're right...

[voice]

[wordsgate]

Hmm...Is there another friend from your world here? Someone you can trust? They'd...probably be able to help you more than I could, since they'd understand your situation better.
