Nngh...did I go and get myself hacked again? The nerve of that guy...

[A robot in a school uniform with white blouse and houndstooth skirt frowns, slowly getting up from the ground. This place is unfamiliar to her, and she can't figure out where it is in regards to her last location.]

Mitsuru-san? You around?

[Or maybe possibly...]

Yu? Chie? Teddie? Anybody?

[She's worried. Without her friends, what will people think of her? Are they gonna try to take her away? Shut her down because she's dangerous?

No. She's gonna stand up for herself. She's more than a weapon.]

You were in the TV World?

[ this girl definitely does know them then... unless this is some extremely elaborate trick, there's no way she could know about that without being involved. ]

Sorry... I don't remember that at all. [ pause. ] What's a Shadow Operative?

Y-you...don't remember? ...Maybe ya did hit your head.

[Labrys frowns, looking down at the sand. Sadness and confusion both well up at the same time. Did he really forget about her so quickly? It just doesn't seem possible.]

The last thing I remember before coming here was getting on the train back to the city.

[ maybe that'll help clarify things? he's not sure, but there's obviously some fundamental disconnect going on here that he can't quite place. ]

Oh yeah, that's right. You were only visiting them for a short time. Golden Week, you called it? Maybe something happened to you on the train.

[Not quite, but maybe now Labrys can help make sense of this puzzle by giving a time.]

Golden Week... but Golden Week hasn't come yet. I was planning to come back for it, but...

[ oh. is that what this means? people had told him strange things happened here, but... ]

Maybe you're from the future. [ ... ] Or I'm from the past.

From the future? I'm pretty sure time travel ain't something I'm capable of...

[Oh, the things she could do if she did.]

You might not be, but this place is different.

{ or so he's been lead to believe. ]

Y'said it was magical. [She assumed you meant pretty and whimsical, not actually magical.] Is that what you meant? There's a lotta stuff I ain't clear on.

Yeah... I think it's something like that.

[ this is the first time he's really encountered the phenomenon, but... ]

It can do some confusing things.

So that means you don't know me at all. Dang.

No, that's not true.

It's not? But you're from the past, y'said.

But I know you now, don't I?

...You'll accept me again, just like that?

I did once already, didn't I?

[ or would that be he will eventually... either way. ]

If I can't trust myself, who can I trust?

[Cue wibbling.]

Yu-kun...

[And then a hug!]

[ oh... he didn't see that coming, but he returns the hug.

he might not remember what they've gone through, but it must have been something. ]

It might sound weird to ask this now... but what's your name?

[She's so happy you'll get the whole thing!]

I'm 5th Generation Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon, Labrys!

...that's a really impressive name.

[ anti-shadow? that might be worth asking about later too. ]

Hehe, it's long. Just Labrys is fine with me.

Labrys then.

I'll have to ask you about the rest, but maybe some other time.

The rest...oh, right. So we're all stuck here for a while?

It seems that way. We'll just have to get used to things here.

[Well, that's all well and good. But Yu will probably have a robotic shadow over his shoulder for some time. School she's got down pat. Sort of. Life outside the chamber? It'll be pretty interesting!

But she nods. They can do this!]

[ it might take some getting used to, but he won't mind the company. he's more or less used to people relying on him... that usually just seems to give him a sense of purpose. ]

First you need to find a place to say.
