twenty-third

[siebter]

[ Dictated through the journals. ]

I feel like something strange happened a while ago...but I'm not really sure what it was. I remember being able to see, though. 

It's kind of weird, isn't it?  Maybe the castle did something again.  But whatever it was, I'm glad to be back.

I'm alright. But...you remember what happened, right?

[shadow_immortal]

I do, yes.

[siebter]

Could you tell me?

[shadow_immortal]

....would you like me to filter this then? I believe it may be personal.

[siebter]

Oh...okay. Thank you.

Emil

You couldn't remember being here for one, and you were looking for your sister. You didn't want to leave her behind.

...for Halua? But, why?

[shadow_immortal]

Family, I suppose. I don't understand it but that's why.

You also told me where you had been staying with her. Underground, being....experimented on with magic.

[ He's quiet for a few moments when he hears that-- it's true, and he's not surprised that he'd tell someone, but he didn't think the situation would have been one he'd have to deal with again. ]

I remember being there, a little.

That is where your eyes are from, isn't it?

[siebter]

From the scientists...that's right.

[ Almost as though he has to remember it himself. ]

[the tone of voice makes him wonder if Emil knew it himself.]

You don't remember this?

[siebter]

Not very well...it's still hard to remember.
