[Unlike her first video, Usagi is a bit more somber, her gaze is far off.]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I wasn't sure where else to get this information.

Do we know what happens to the people who leave? Do they go home? Are they... put on trial for the things we're accused of?

[She's not really sure what she would rather for Galaxia. Galaxia didn't HAVE a home to go back to, and there was no means of returning to life because Usagi had failed to save the Cauldron. So, it was just... an end. But to be here instead, would Galaxia have wanted that instead?]

Unfortunately, I don't believe anyone knows.

I do know of one person who left and returned, and then left again. She had no memories of her first stay here, but she was certainly alive and well.

[lightthedarkness]

Oh... Did she mention where she left... to? Like, did she go back home? If she left and came back, she had to go somewhere, yeah?

[baldrshand]

She seemed to be unaware that she had been here at all--as far as she knew, she had come directly from her homeland. But I didn't get a chance to ask as many questions about it as I would have liked.

[Shionne had been rather reluctant to open up, or to let others be friends with her. Ethlyn's sure she could have overcome that with more time, but she didn't have it.]

I suppose it's fine if she doesn't remember being here... I'm just... [What is there to go back to for her? She lets out a breath and then smiles.] Thank you for answering my questions, I really appreciate it.

[murderingjustice]

according to those who have disappeared and returned later you end up back in your own world, in the state you left it with no memories of this place.

[lightthedarkness]

[She's not sure if that's good or bad for Galaxia... Honestly, nothing was really... GREAT for the Senshi of Destruction outside of being given a chance to be reborn and start fresh, to learn from her mistakes and begin making amends. But... she can't do that, Usagi failed in returning the Cauldron to its proper state. So... she would... they all would...

Hopefully, Galaxia would finally be allowed to rest, at least.]

Oh... thank you for telling me. It's... I don't know that she would care one way or the other about her memories here. But I know what awaits her.

[murderingjustice]

honestly, us not having any memories makes this experience and sentencing pointless. We will just return to our worlds and continue as if nothing happened. I hardly see how that'll work as a rehabilitation.

[fatalism]

i can confirm this to be the case

[murderingjustice]

yes. Dazai-san told me as much.

[lightthedarkness]

Oh... uh, thank you for confirming! Um, by any chance, did you remember everything when you came BACK? Did your crime change?

[usarinpa]

i've got a little list of ppl i know who aren't around anymore. haven't been able to ask them though. as far as i know they haven't come back, and i gotta assume they made it home.

as far as the trial... i thought that was supposed to happen here, but i haven't heard anything.

Text;

[lightthedarkness]

I wonder about the trial then. If people just went straight home, does that mean the trial happened and they were found innocent? Did the trial happen at all?

I don't really get the trial anyway, I just know that I don't know who they are to decide my crimes.

[usarinpa]

maybe they changed their minds?? none of it makes any sense, really, like a dream with its own rules, and they can change whenever they feel like.

i keep checking and i still can't make out the date on my parchment

[scythedance]

There was a young woman here from my world that I knew, but I do not know what happened to her after she left. I would hope that there would be no trials for those who leave, but you can never be too sure.

Is everything alright?

Voice

[lightthedarkness]

I would hope so too, but considering this place sees fit to sentence us in the first place, I don't know that I trust their views on judgment and punishment and fairness.

Hm? Oh... just, a... friend of mine is gone, and I wasn't sure if she would go home or not. [Not that there's a home to go back TO for Galaxia and her, what with the both of them being dead.]

[scythedance]

I understand. My charge here is... False, I want to say, but that is just my opinion. However, I cannot change what they think, because I do not think they really care.

Ah... The only thing we can hope for is that there are no trials and tribulations along the way, and that she returns home safely.

It is all we can really do, and hope for.

[Man, this guy really sounds like a Dad. Because he is.]

[beshackled]

I am afraid I cannot provide you answers, little one.

Have you a friend here you can share your burdens with?

[lightthedarkness]

[Little one? Honestly, she can't say she's ever been called that since she was an actual child. But he's not being RUDE so she doesn't comment.]

Oh, that's fine, you don't have to have the answers, not like we can know everything.

Oh um... well... I wouldn't want to burden a friend with this. [It requires a good deal of explanation, to start.]

[beshackled]

'Tis difficult, going through life and keeping one's burdens to oneself. Still, 'tis your decision to make.

[Though she need not spend her time ruminating alone. Dwelling on thoughts dark and dreary without company can lead to even darker and drearier contemplations.]

Though I cannot offer much, I would welcome you to have some tea, or sweetmeats, if such is to your liking.

[ The question is something Ange has been thinking about before herself, though she doesn't have any personal experience with it, nor a good answer because of it.

So rather than giving Usagi an answer Ange can't give her, the girl seems to be quietly thinking for a moment before she moves to reply to the message. ]

Did someone you know just disappear?

[ A very slight pause, but then she's already adding: ]

The same happened to me. [ She wonders if it's the same people Usagi is thinking about. ]

Video;

[lightthedarkness]

Ah, yeah, my only... friend from home. I'm just worried about what she's going home to... if she was even going home in the first place, ya know?

Oh, a friend of yours left too?

[entreats]

.. Kind of. [ It's a little more complicated in her case.

(Then again, it's a little more complicated in Usagi's case too, compared to what Ange is thinking.) ]

They were my family, but apparently not from the same world as me. [ See? Very complicated. ] It means I can't say much, since I don't know them very well, but.. they didn't seem like the type to just leave by themselves and not tell anyone about it.

So I did imagine that whatever entity is in charge here removed them from this place.

[izanagis]

[Hmm...]

I get the feeling the trial is supposed to happen here, before we leave.

[Between her expression and her question...Yu gathers that she's asking something like this for a personal reason. Probably not a happy one. He doesn't want to press, so he tries to be delicate, here.]

Whoever it is...you're sure they're gone?

Video;

[lightthedarkness]

I can't imagine her letting them put her on trial anyway... though I also haven't heard of anyone actually being put on trial.

And I'm definitely sure.

[izanagis]

"Letting" them, huh? [He offers a wan smile.]

But...you're right. I haven't heard about any trials yet, either. That's a little strange, too, now that I think of it.
