in return, emma experiences a scene, featuring two women whom she might recognize, depending on her memory—along with fear, grief, and an inexplicable shift in the middle of it all.]
[She pauses as that sinks in, surprise making her eyes widen before the other emotions of that memory sink in. By the end, there's a hand planted over her mouth as she looks his way, concerned.]
... Well, that's how things are. Whether it's this world, mine, or another's, we're at the whims of the universe.
In any case, it really was a long time ago—I think I was around Ookurikara's age back then...? While losing my memories and regaining them has affected the process, there was never any choice but to move on. She would've wanted that, as well.
