[Martel had woken up back in her own bed after spending those few days in that strange world that reminded her of home in a strange and twisted way. She hoped that everyone who had been taken by the mirror was all right and as safe as they could be in this place.]

Did everybody come back all right from that place and remember who they are?

[And then to her friends:]

Don't worry, I'm all right. Are you all right? Did anything happen while I was trapped in the mirror?

Are you all right? We got separated from each other and I was worried about you. Not that you can't handle yourself, but... [She still worried about him.

A slight pause.] ...Did you ever find Tsuna?

[And with that, she leaves her room and goes outside with her panpipes to play them from the top of her tree.]

You never leave your room anyway, Once-Ler. Though I think you would have been at home here. [It reminds her of what he has said about his world.]

And it's proven time and time again to be the smart choice. [That does make him pause though] ...Really? Because we don't have people believing they're mythological creatures where I come from.

...Well, it seemed twisty, like your wagon was. And some people likes to tell strange stories and rhyme.

...Okay, that part does sound like home.

Not saying I regret missing it, but still.

It wasn't all bad. Just...confusing. And some people forgot who they were.

You consider people forgetting who they are 'not all that bad'?

Well, definitely not that, but... we could have all been really attacked. There could have been danger at every turn with how strange that place was.

Uhhhh wasn't there a monster? I heard about a monster?

And those people who forgot who they were could suddenly turn on you.

...perhaps I'm a bit bias. And i didn't see a monster, but then again, I didn't stay close to the castle.

And none of them seemed truly bad. Just...a bit eccentric. [SHE'S TRYING TO LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, ONCE.]

Of course it's good that nothing happened, and that everybody made it back.

I'm amazed some people did stay near the castle. What with Queen McHeadchop and everything.

[He has no bright side. What is this bright side of which you speak]

Yeah. This time.

...I think she was a resident who came back. And so was the king and a few other people. I think they wanted to try to jog their memories.

Yes, and hopefully next time, too.

...That mess again? What is even with that, sheesh. I think the castle's starting to lose it.

It certainly didn't do it before Paris two years ago. And now it does it almost every time we go somewhere.

...I wonder how many other people it's taken and put somewhere else?

It's scary, if you think about it. People we think have gone home might have just been taken and dumped, I don't know, anywhere.

...I know. How many people are sill out there, put where they don't belong? It happened to me... it could happen to anyone, really.

Just another fun filled thought to rock you to sleep at night.

...Well, we'll just have to find them and help them, won't we?

Whoah wait wait, 'we'?

...I meant it in a general sense, Once-Ler. I didn't mean us personally.

[Once, don't be silly.]

Oh good, because that's something I probably shouldn't be doing.

Probably not, unless you learn how to fight. [She's remembering the only time she's seen Once-ler on the battlefield. Other than in the nightmare, but that doesn't count.]

[The Once-ler pulls a face at that comment] People keep trying to convince me I should try doing that.

Really? It's not a bad skill to have...

I guess not.

Kalinda wants to teach me how to fire a gun. Want to take bets on how long it'll be before I shoot myself in the foot?

Guns are loud, you know. [Trust her, she knows.] And they're more long range.

And bullets are not my specialty for healing.
