[Kamui]
Has Sasarai still not returned?

[Raine]
How are you feeling? Has there been any improvement?

[Jade and Dist]
I need to speak with you. The both of you. It's recently come to my attention that this cannot be avoided any longer. You two can either visit me together, or give your stories seperately.

[Action]

[Considering it's such a nice day outside, Gelda has taken a chair and is sitting in the shade in front of house #27. She found an interesting book in the library to waste some time with. You can tell her attention isn't quite on the pages, though. Feel free to bug her, considering she hasn't been around all too much these past few weeks.]

At its heart, the Score is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The things that happen become true because we believe they will happen.

That hardly denies the existance of the planet's memory. I can understand why one would want more freedom, as I've come to realize here in Luceti that life without the Score is a lot more pleasant. Even so, using such a dangerous technique to create a new world is hardly the best way to approach the matter.

Not at all. I know that the planet's memory exists. However, the Score is only one possible future. In order to obtain freedom from it, you must stop relying on it.

...Ah, but we've derailed from my original topic.

A bit over a year ago, Saphir told me Auldrant has been freed from the Score. Is that because the replica world was a success, or was this due to another reason?

Due to our efforts, and the cooperation of the empires, the Score has been abolished. People can no longer have their scores read to them. That is how Auldrant has been freed from the Score.

I see. I suppose that would be the best method, though it'd cause mayhem for the first few years.

Yes. But, in time, they will learn to live without the Score. After all, not all believed in the Score so fervently.

[She simply nods.]

... Is there anything else I should be made aware of?

The end of my story.

[Oh goodness, there's even more.]

I'm listening.

At the crag, Dist was waiting there, hoping to break the seal. We were not aware what was actually within the seal, only believing that the Planetary Fonic Arte was within.

When we placed the catalysts on the glyph, we released the replica, and the catalysts gave her the necessary fonons to be complete--all according to Dist's plan.

... And what kind of an effect did that have on her?

Extreme power was at her fingertips, and she knew how to wield it.

Yet, despite being complete, she was still a different person?

Yes. Though she looked and sounded like you, and may even have had a few of your personality traits, it was all too clear she was still very much a different person.

What happened next?

She took out Dist with one attack, leaving us to deal with her ourselves.

He- Was he alright?

He has the tenacity of a cockroach.

Jade, you really shouldn't speak that way about your friends. You make it sound like you're disappointed he was unharmed.

I do not mean anything by it. [Oh, he so does.] It was just the most fitting way to describe his survival abilities.

[She raises an eyebrow, but decides to let the matter go.]

Then you fought the replica by yourselves.

...Yes.

How did you ultimately defeat her?

The Planetary Fonic Arte.
