[After a very tiring last few weeks—between learning about things she's forgotten and turning into things she could never willingly forget—Sayo found herself resting comfortably in Luceti. The experiment, while straining for some, wasn't so bad. She'd gotten to record an image of her son's face while she was stuck in his body... and now she can proudly put the picture on a table in her living room.

Even with her in his body, it was still so him. Did they really share the way they emoted that well? It's something to laugh about.

She's also been working on making something beyond the traditional Japanese outfit. Because honestly? She wanted to try something new—even if it meant her knowledge of clothes-making was in jeopardy, she didn't mind it. She'd relearn it later, hmm?

So she's been making blankets and dropping them off at the clothes store. Ones that are moreso her world's style, some that are patterned unlike anything she's used to (—and what interesting ways of making blankets! Quilts!). She can't help but ask, as she sits contently to watch people come and go:]

[Voice for Everyone Ever]

What type of hobbies do you enjoy doing? And has this place made you form any new ones?

[After that, she'll leave, and uncharacteristically veer off her usual path toward the inner forest.

She's been hearing (repeatedly, forgetting often, relearning often...) that there are spirits here that can teach people things. She's not sure which to listen to first, but she knows she wants to try. Try... and see if it's something her mind will keep intact. Perhaps the water one... or the wind one... Ah, those would be good! They would be helpful to protect oneself without hurting the other person fighting, right?

When she feels she's far out enough, she speaks hesitantly—]

Hello...? Is... is this how I speak with you...?

[Granted, you may find her lost in the forest. Which way was back again... hmmm... :|a]

That's a very good idea to live by, Ami-chan! I happen to believe that it would be wasteful, to keep yourself from learning each and every day!

You must be very dedicated to it.

I have to be... After all, I want to work my hardest, so I don't forget everything I know—I simply enjoy the people and things here too much to let them go without a fight, even if I am a prisoner.

And you want to start being able to remember other things, too, don't you?

Start... remembering other things...?

[She just can't help but think of it despite herself—my husband, I'd forgotten him, I'd forgotten something like that.

No, it's not something to dwell on.]

[Ami once forgot everything important to her. It was a very dark time for her. No; not forgot, precisely, but the memories were twisted and corrupted to make her hate the very things and people she loved the most. She hurt them, badly. And she doesn't even really know how badly, because she's forgotten while she was under that influence now.]

I think it's important to remember everything. I don't want to forget a part of myself.

[...again.]

I... I would like to remember things I've forgotten... but...

[It's just not possible.]

If you work hard at it, it might be possible. Memories don't really disappear. They just become harder to access.

[She smiles, though it's a little strained.]

I suppose that may be true. I want to believe that's the case...

We can begin some new memory exercises.

New memory exercises? That sounds like a good idea, actually...

It's always good to keep the mind sharp.

[She laughs.]

I can definitely appreciate that!

I think it's the same for everyone.

I sure hope so! I can't imagine someone who just wants to let their mind waste away.

No one would want that.
