[Feed starts. Some of you might recognize the area, others might not - it's not that popular anymore. Right now, you see, Kinzo is traversing the Ilex Forest, and he's having quite the time of it. He looks fairly roughed up, for a great number of reasons, but he looks like the reason he's turning on the feed is for reasons... other than his own safety.]

-- Finally! I'd thought I'd damaged this damn thing in the fall, and then it would just be useless to me. Completely and absolutely useless!

It seems various people of this bizarre land have been spread across it with no explanation whatsoever, except for the fact we can't remember the cause. ... That, honestly, is irrelevant to me right now. I have a much more pressing matter to attend to.

[Kinzo takes a breath. His Wingull, perched on his shoulder as always, looks somewhat worried, but is otherwise silent as Kinzo keeps traveling through the trees and whatnot.]

Someone - no, anyone! Anyone at all! Confirm for me the locations and, more importantly, health of the following people: Ushiromiya Maria, Ushiromiya Lion, and Ushiromiya Jessica. [Kinzo pauses... shuddering? Yeah, he looks visibly disturbed about something.] It is of vital importance I know, at the very least, that Ushiromiya Maria is safe and that no harm has befallen her. I would greatly appreciate this information, the sooner the better at that!

[Kinzo pauses again, looking like he greatly desires to say more, but he stops there. That's enough for now. He can ask if any others are being plagued by strange nightmares another time. For now... finding out if Maria is safe is the most important thing.]

... That is all.

... I should hope so. They are my... grandchildren after all.

[he pauses.] And Maria?

She has not been taken in as my student for little reason.

... I see. So it's your student that she's become.

What does that mean of the other Beatrice then?

... Has that memoryless me truly told you nothing?

... Memoryless you?

Don't dare tell me you and her are the same person. [He's... concluded a few things of his own already - mostly about Lion, but he at least can conclude that (if only thanks to this multiple world thing) there are a lot of Beatrices out there, so...]

What nonsense is this?

.... Nonsense, is it. How nice, how nice. [ cacklecackle ] Will you further shut your eyes away from the truth...?

I cannot shut myself away from anything if it has yet to present itself for me to do so.

[he raises his arms] That was rather rude of me, Beatrice. [... the way he says her name. it's not venomous, but it's... angry. hurt. the fact that someone would dare to wear the face of his beloved in such a manner... indeed, this is something Kinzo cannot forgive.]

Please. Continue.

[ She pauses for a moment--

After Battler had discovered the truth, there was no reason to hide far too much, was there? Even so, how much would fate be twisted if she told Kinzo what happened?

... Or, rather--would things remain the same? Would losing her Grandmother drive him to do as he did to her Mother--as Kumasawa and Genji had once told her when she was given and abandoned the name Lion Ushiromiya? ]

.... ... The first time you had lost the me--the Beatrice you now know--in my first life--you had captured me within a cage of flesh. However, she lacks any and all memory of what occurred in her first lifetime.

The Beatrice you speak of now is one that you will come to know well. After all, you will be with that woman for the entirety of her life time.

I... captured you, you say...

[This is... What sort of twisted madness-- That's impossible! After all, he's already concluded that Lion is his and Beatrice's grandchild-- Where does this "cage" come in...!?

... The fact that this... does match what the other Beatrice herself was saying... That can't be... relevant... can it...?! ... But more importantly... More importantly than that...!]

What do you mean I lost Bice...!?

If you have escaped that cage, you should remember-- You should have been returned, correct!? And yet you say I "lost" her, my Beatrice...!? If I am to believe such a thing-- Then explain that for me! Where do you, this so called Golden Witch who... [... but if she were... his Bice... just as he told her... she was the Golden Witch who...

... no no no! This is wrong! It's all wrong! These are... These are impostors! ... Impostors!...?!]

This simply doesn't add up!

Do you truly have yet to figure it out...?

Or, are you still in denial, Ushiromiya Kinzo?!
