[Noah does not fear The Look when it comes to Maya. He'll revenge-punch a woman he doesn't give a shit.]

Are any of our memories reliable, though? [Beat.] ...I don't have my journal from Elrios. You know the one. If I can find that somehow like I found the Moonstone, that might tell us something. Maybe.

[But that also being said...]

The other thing she said was that you haven't been with me the entire time. That can't be right, though. You're always with me... but it explains why we're in different "years" I guess...

All I'm saying is we can't count our own memories in here. Which is rich coming from me, I know.

[well. that's unfortunately true... even if it doesn't seem like Nao's memories have been altered from last year, do they really have any way of knowing for sure?

Ugh. He'd rather just write everything here off as pure illusion... but he can't ignore the other possibilities.]

I was able to find my spellbook... maybe your journal will turn up eventually, too. [... though, actually, once it's out of his mouth he realizes that raises even more questions, since he died a thousand years ago and hasn't had his spellbook since then. So how the hell did it turn up like that?]

Maybe... if we've been here for more than one year... maybe I was still a sickle back then? I doubt Maya would've recognized me as a person if I looked like that at the time.

[then whatever lead to him having a living body again would've happened during the years they can't remember... it does explain some things. but only some.]

[silentabyss]

...maybe, but then how would you have gotten a body?

["Especially one that looks like how you did in Seven Tower", Noah wants to add, but he realises he hasn't exactly come fully clean about that save for one misstep back in Elrianode. He bites his tongue; now isn't the time. He'll just get sad all over again recalling how he tried to stop that Henir's Order member from killing Clamor and how spectacularly that failed.]

The more I think about this place, the worse everything gets. I kept trying to get answers from Maya, but she wasn't much help. —Oh, speaking of...

I'm sure you haven't forgotten about... Aiko, right? I think that was her name. When I was trying to ask Maya about why killing is something that's apparently necessary in this school, she wouldn't answer me and kept telling me to think about it, but she did tell me in basic terms that the person who killed her is Komaeda.

[And then no one was shocked.

Well, okay, Noah had been a shocked at the time, but thinking back to how Komaeda spoke to him in front of her body in the case... he should've known.]

I mean — she didn't give his name, but there were some hints she gave me. Apparently she witnessed it. [And, angrily, he adds:] When I first asked her if she saw anything back then, she said she didn't. Stephanie said Maya lies her ass off, though. Not... not in those terms.

[And he definitely didn't teach a ten year old the phrase "pissed off" either.]
