I explained to Hikari everything that I saw. How I knew my name was Mahale, and how I seemed to travel back in time.
Hikari: "You're not... lying... are you?"
Mahale: "I've already proven that. How else could I have known what everyone was going to say BEFORE they said it?"
Hikari answered my question with silence. She seemed to be deep in thought. She scanned me up and down, almost like she didn't recognize me.
Hikari: "You're Beth... right? The same Beth?"
Mahale: "Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"
Hikari: "I don't know... you're just... different somehow."
I could tell Hikari was hiding something from me. I started to grow a bit angry. I'm giving Hikari so much trust when, honestly, she doesn't even deserve it. I mean, she had a knife! Even so, she still doesn't trust me.
Mahale: "Well, sorry, I guess."
I began to storm off back to the rest of the group.
Hikari: "Beth- I mean... Mahale, wait."
Hikari followed.
When I opened the door, I was met by a room of people glaring daggers at each other, save Luna who was still passed out on the floor. There wasn't as much noise as I was expecting though.
Mahale: "Is this a bad time?"
Lumiere smiled gleefully.
Lumiere: "Not at all! I was just about to announce the next area!"
Cerulean: "Next area? We're leaving this place?"
Lumiere: "Of course you are! Nobody wants to read a whole story with the exact same setting the entire time! That crap is boring!"
Zero: "Well the setting isn't the only thing that's boring in this story. The characters are pretty bland as well."
Sol: "Ooh! Is that a reference to that one game about high schoolers murdering each other? From what I hear their characters are pretty one-note."
Zero: "It's a reference to the situation we're in moron."
Sol: "Oh yeah! We are pretty boring aren't we!?"
Nine: "I'm not boring..."
Zero: "Name one personality trait that you have."
Nine: "I'm... nice?"
Cerulean: "I don't think nice counts as a personality trait..."
Zero: "And Cerulean's just a walking pity machine."
Cerulean: "Just because I'm young doesn't make me want your pity, thank you very much. And I can't walk, I'm in a wheelchair."
Zero: "That's the joke."
Catty: "Nyo fair! I'm fun!"
Zero: "You're like Sol but even more annoying. Also stop talking like you're a cat, it's embarrassing."
Sol: "Aww thanks for the compliment!"
Zero: "And Cyber over here is just that silent emotionless guy."
Cyber: "..."
Zero: "Case in point."
Lumiere: "EVERYONE SHUT UP I'M MAKING AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!!"
Lumiere: "Everyone is going to follow me to the new area. If you stay here, you're dead, got it?"
Marine: "But what about Luna?"
