[Are these videos great quality? No. Does Grell know how videos work? No. Is Grell dragging a confused stranger in front of a device's camera? Absolutely. Is this even her device? Of course not.]

This isn't fair! When do new arrivals get their memories back? He doesn't remember me at all!

[The stranger is a tall, gangly looking man who, importantly, seems like half of his face is really messed up? It's hard to make out exactly with this video quality but it seems like there's a hole in his head??? He looks confused and frankly uncomfortable.]

I'm sorry... are you sure you're not confusing me with someone else?

[ It'll be a good moment before Setsura activates the video function in response and in that moment, her heart aches. It isn't a situation she'd wish on anyone, after all, and one she's quietly dreaded as she's come into knowledge about how these things work and why, but as upset as this person is, the technical details likely won't be of much comfort. ]

For myself and a number of others, it took around a month if not a little more than that. There's no guarantee the memories you share will be recovered, though.

[brightred]

A month?! That's not fair!! [She's only been dating him for like a month??]

[chichichi]

Better a month than not at all. I'm sure it's not what you want to hear, but you should prepare yourself for the possibility that it could take longer or might not happen.

[brightred]

It will. [She can't entertain that thought, the thought of "it might not happen." She'll drag the memories out by force if she has to, even if it kills him.]

[chichichi]

He's someone close to you?

[brightred]

Obviously! [She says, with a huff. She clenches and unclenches her left hand, without noticing it.]

[chichichi]

I wish I had an immediate solution to offer you.

[ She doesn't despite the work she's put in toward solving the memory issue and interworld travel, work she's having to replicate here without access to her research and notes back on Prismatica. Everything that was on her phone from that time is still absent, too. ]

If you'd like someone to talk to about things, feel free to reach out to me.

[Does she hang up or does Fukuda just get his phone back? Unclear.]
