{Setting: Fluff Tail Hotel} 

Kaylee: GAH! *sits up from her bed in shock and looks around. She's back in the bedroom* ...What...? What just... Why that moment...? ...*sigh* Ever since Mephiles left I've been getting nothing but questions and no answers!! 

???: So, you want answers?

Kaylee: *ears lift up and her tail wags* Mephiles?! Where--

Mephiles: Under the pillow.

Kaylee: Um... O_e *moves pillow away to find the purple emerald* Uh... you're the emerald? *picks it up* 

Mephiles: No, I'm in another dimension

Mephiles: No, I'm in another dimension. I'm talking to you through the emerald. 

Kaylee: Um... okay... Wait, why are you in another dimension? 

Mephiles: *explains how he was defeated and how Elise blew out the flame* I foresaw my defeat. Whether I liked it or not, it saved me. I was able to slip through a crack of time before Solaris was erased from existence. 

Kaylee: Oh... so time was reversed? That sure explains the new city and Silver seeming to have no memory of what happened... 

Mephiles: Correct.

Kaylee: Yeah... um... hey Mephiles? 

Mephiles: Hm? 

Kaylee: Why did we try to kill Silver and Venice anyway? 

Mephiles: It doesn't matter, truth be told we were fighting a useless fight... 

Kaylee: Uh... Okay...? ...But... 

Mephiles: Is this about your dream? 

Kaylee: How did you-- 

Mephiles: I did that on purpose. I inflicted that dream on you. Since my plans were futile, it doesn't matter much anymore. I thought it'd be best to tell you now. 

Kaylee: What...? 

Mephiles: I made you aware you weren't my child correct? 

Kaylee: ...Yes...? 

Mephiles: Kaylee, you felt a feeling in that dream, what was it? 

Kaylee: You mean when I latched onto Venice? Well... it felt... warm and I just felt... sort of safe... all and all it was oddly familiar... like-- wait... what does this have to do with any-- ...no... he's not... 

Mephiles: Yes, Venice was your father, Kaylee. 

Kaylee: O_O
