[ Clara ]

[ In her room, Tsukimi has taken a seat in a chair beside the tank Clara is in, with her fingers resting on the grass. ]

We've ended up in a strange place, haven't we? But at least we're together.

If I said that made me completely happy, it wouldn't be right. I'm happy to have you here, Clara, I don't know what I would have done without you. Especially since..

Am I really so easy to forget? ... Mm, you're probably right, Clara.

[ No Kurako's Allowed ]

Has anyone ever found out what they lost? A-and why it was that.

I've only been here for a few days, but I already know why people don't like it now. I wouldn't be happy if I had to sing like that, or do anything against my will, but I did like the Easter eggs. They were.. fun.

E-even if I didn't find a lot of them and almost stepped on four. I think I gave them all away..

Glad you enjoyed the eggs. It was good of you to share them out.

[misconstrues]

It was my first Easter.

The one egg I kept, I don't want to eat -- it's too pretty to eat.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Really?

It's too delicious not to eat. I can make you more, it's easy.

[misconstrues]

Oh!

[ .. wait. She has to put on the breaks for a moment as her brain slowly processes this. He could make more? So, if that was the case, then he would be.. oh! Her mind, it has officially broken. She doesn't necessarily mean to shout, but she's pretty surprised right now. ]

.. The Easter Bunny?!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[He chuckles a little, he's used to this]

That's me.

[misconstrues]

[ Without thinking, she slams the journal shut and stares at it as if it grew a head -- not that he can see it. Or hear the riveting conversation she's having with herself. ]

I-in a magic castle, with the Easter Bunny.. and I just closed the journal on him?!

[ Oh, look, she's opened it again and is back on air now. Courage, Tsukimi, courage! .. is something she lacks, so all she can manage is a weak: ]

.. Sorry!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Wow this place is full of weirdos]

...That's fine. It..can be a shock?

You okay there?

[misconstrues]

A shock is putting it lightly..

[ For a moment, she tries to imagine what he might look like. Now, she almost sounds sympathetic. ]

If it can even kidnap someone like you.. ! Then, there really wasn't a chance any of us could have stopped it from bringing us here.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

That's what it looks like. I can usually travel anywhere I like, but I can't get out of this place.

Finding out losses is hit or miss, it seems. If it's an item or a skill, or a preference even, then as you go through life here, you eventually stumble upon it. I don't think it's the same for memories, though. I mean, if you forget something, you won't know you forgot it.

As for why...well, usually, losses are significant to the person. Why do you ask?

( forever ღ )

[misconstrues]

So, I may not be able to find out what happened..

[ She debates making something up but, finally, she murmurs: ]

Someone forgot about me, but I remember them.

[cyan_maid]

[Ah! It's quiet, but she's heard you!]

Someone forgot about you, but you remember them? Gosh, I'm sorry to hear that! But it sounds like a loss to me.

You must be pretty important to this person.

1/3

[misconstrues]

Pretty important.. ? As in..

[misconstrues]

[ Losses have to be important, and he couldn't remember her. .. it must be a mistake! ]

FIN

[misconstrues]

M-maybe we haven't met yet! [ Yes, this is clearly the right answer. She can't brain right now. ] I couldn't be so important to that person, it's an impossibility.

An absolute impossibility, I assure you!

[cyan_maid]

[Aw, honey, you really don't give yourself enough credit.]

You could compare what was going on before you arrived here to be sure. If you wanted to, that is.

[misconstrues]

That might be the best idea! It could have been another fashion show..

[ Right? Maybe. Even if he couldn't remember her, having a familiar face here helped her a lot. ]

[cyan_maid]

Hoo, there you go! You'll have something to bond over with them yet.

[misconstrues]

O-only if I don't have to wear another dress..

Thank you, Jane-san! I'll surely get to the bottom of this now.

[cyan_maid]

You're welcome - and I sure hope you do!

[misconstrues]

[ She already knows what will happen, but she doesn't let it show. ]

I'll be sure to report any findings!

[cyan_maid]

I'll look forward to hearing about them!

[pint_sized_carnivore]

I actually don't know what I lost when I got in here. It still kinda bothers me sometimes.

[misconstrues]

Just like me..

Have you been here a long time?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Nah, I haven't even been here for a month.

[misconstrues]

For me, it's only been a week. Though, why a castle would pick someone like me..

[pint_sized_carnivore]

I don't know. I ask myself why it picked me too.
