The only thing this dimension does well is show its ass. We might as well applaud it! - Albert Burneko

Sudden comedy theory/gut terror: We have to switch Remi and Mikoto.

> "I have been informed that the late Keine Kamishirasawa believes I am caught in some sort of cycle in order to make sure whatever is supposed to happen happens. She is, or was, not 100% confident in that assessment, but it appears to be a better suggestion for why this has happened than anything else anyone has theorized."

If you are asking me for anything remotely close to concrete proof that finding my Mistress will indeed fix everything, then I do not have any such thing. All I have is the message she left for me that mentioned your former Mistress as a driving force behind her disappearance. If you are asking me about why I think history itself wants me here, all I have for that are Miss Kamishirasawa's words, and the fact that I would rather not dwell on the idea that some other entity is doing this to me for who knows what reasons, an entity clever enough that the hakutaku knows nothing about it and powerful enough to do this to me a second time after you fixed the first instance."

>Ran nods. "I can see your reasoning, but I feel there are other things that need to be explored before we settle on that. Whatever a hakutaku might think, I do not put much weight on that kind of thinking about fate, and unfortunately for her I am greatly more experienced in the world than she could have hoped to be. Are there any other oddities you have noticed?"

>"Yes, I am entirely confused why you would overlook this in favor of some thing about needing to seek out a foreign empire. But  regardless, that is somewhat telling. It suggests when I cut away the force holding you here, it also cut the force holding your watch away as well, even though it wasn't here. That is...curious. And yes, I would recommend finding your watch, if only to see what has happened to it."
