[his hand lingers on Yu's arm for a few extra seconds, before he lets it drop at his side. he's only partially paying attention to this memory, the other half of his focus still trained on his companion]

So you're saying. . . these are memories you don't remember?

Like-- memories lost to amnesia?

[sorry pal, Akira doesn't have any answers here]

[izanyagi]

They must be lost for a reason...if neither Fuuka-san or Shinjiro-san remember them either...I wish I knew why.

[Why they met, why were they the same age, why something that monumental was reduced to near nothing in his mind.]

We fought something together too...although it was nice to see him there, since Elizabeth-san told me he's not...oh sorry.

[He was going on again.]

[purrtagonist]

. . . I can't really help you here. Sorry.

[he knows even less than Yu about all of this]

But maybe if you look at more memories, you'll figure something out?

[izanyagi]

Maybe...

[Is it worth the risk?...he looks back at the petals in his hands and ponders his options. Alright, maybe he can try another. The memories begin as they go back and as everyone from Gekkohigh introduce themselves, before his friends do too. The memory ends just as the first lock shatters.

Yu stays quiet for a bit more after that. He seems to have calmed himself this time. Somehow the introductions brought a smile upon his face.]

...Whatever it was, it looks like Rei and Zen were the key...

[Wait the dream didn't seem to imply that, did it?]

...or at least I think they were.

[Regardless, that was a lot of information to digest for for him and Akira. He looked back at the other Wild Card user.]

If you have questions about any of them, maybe I can answer to the best of my knowledge...

[OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THE GIRL IN PINK SOUNDS A LOT LIKE HIS HOMEROOM TEACHER--]

[actually, he does have one question, one that occurs to him when they all enter that blue room]

Is that. . . the Velvet Room?

[izanyagi]

[What a strange question to ask but...]

One of them, yeah. It doesn't look like mine and I'm pretty certain it didn't look like Minato's either...

[purrtagonist]

[ah. so he wasn't the only one of them who thought the appearance was off]

It definitely doesn't look like mine, either.

[izanyagi]

It feels like something is wrong with it, if that makes sense? And Igor wasn't there either...

[He wonders if he should try grabbing another again. This entire thing has got him extreme serious.]

[purrtagonist]

[how many memories are you going to share Yu??]

. . . do you think someone might have kicked him out?

[he has his reasons for asking]

[izanyagi]

[??? That is such an odd question, he can't help but look at Akira.]

Sometimes Igor wasn't in the Velvet Room...but it is rather strange he wasn't there for this...at least as much as we've seen.

[So he knows Igor's name, that much is for sure. No one asks something like this without a reason.]

...did something happen to him?

[purrtagonist]

[hesitation]

He's okay now.

["now" implies "he wasn't okay before"]

[izanyagi]

...

[...]

That's good to here. As long as he's safe. I don't know how the Velvet Room would be without him...[But then he looks at Akira.]...although I suspect that you do.

[This does bring him to his next question.]

You had an attendant, right?
