Are you... okay?

[ . . . ]

It seems so strange to see you as a young woman when you were just a child before.

[psynchroneyes]

Hey, it's strange for me, too. Everything's still exactly the way I left it! But don't worry about me—really. It's easier the second go around.

[heavyliesthecrown]

A little older and a little wiser?

[psynchroneyes]

Yep, and with everything I know now? I'll be a force to be reckoned with.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I look forward to seeing it, truthfully. I thought you were already quite fierce for your age before.

[psynchroneyes]

Well, you still get that—but better!

[heavyliesthecrown]

Any hints as to what makes you even more of a force to be reckoned with now?

[psynchroneyes]

What, and spoil the surprise?

[heavyliesthecrown]

I have a couple of those myself now. ♪

[psynchroneyes]

Wait, do you?

[heavyliesthecrown]

I do! Though... I am still learning how to perfect it all.

[psynchroneyes]

Oh, yeah? Like what?

[heavyliesthecrown]

Sound manipulation. I can manipulate sound waves. Pretty fitting for an idol, right?

[psynchroneyes]

Huh. Yeah, you’re keeping with the theme. Do you, like, sing to make it happen?

[heavyliesthecrown]

No, though I suppose that I could.

. . . Or rather, creating sound instead of drawing it up from the ambiance already around might give me more to work with in general?

[psynchroneyes]

Oh, yeah, maybe. It could give a little more control, too.

[heavyliesthecrown]

It has all been a learning experience, but I plan to do my best. ♪

[Moving back to the table to set his book down.]

So you said your disappearance had to do with CEO. I wonder if he has it out for you in particular, or simply thought using someone so young would garner more results? I imagine Clover got quite the shock when you showed up as you currently are.

[psynchroneyes]

... Nah, he's still out for us. It's because he wants the body back.

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . Try and be careful, then. Perhaps no ventures into the woods without the buddy system?

[psynchroneyes]

Obviously—but I'm not worried about that as much. He tried to take me while we were in a dream.

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . That is incredibly alarming. Perhaps I will have to speak with Rubato-senpai about ways to protect our dreams.

[psynchroneyes]

—Wait. Does he know how to do that?

[heavyliesthecrown]

I do not know one way or the other. I just know he is the most familiar with magic and tends to have a number of tricks up his sleeve, so I thought he might at least know something.

He installed our security system... perhaps he knows a method of safeguarding dreams, too.

[psynchroneyes]

Huh... If he does, maybe let me know about it, too.

[heavyliesthecrown]

If I learn anything at all, I will absolutely speak with you about it. Naturally, I wish for Clover to remain safe for a great many reasons.
