[Video; unfiltered]

Um... now that everyone is out of the hospital, I was curious. Did anyone else remember something extra? I still have a memory that I know isn't one of mine, and I'm pretty sure it didn't belong to the person whose memories I had during everything that happened. If anyone knows anything about this, please call me back. I've been worried about it, and I'd feel a lot better knowing it wasn't just me.

I wanted to apologize to you personally for the way I was acting before. I know it wasn't my fault, but I feel really bad about the way I talked to you and how I was behaving. Even if I had someone else's memories at the time, I still wasn't acting like a very good friend, and I'm really sorry. I hope you'll forgive me.

[She bows her head very sincerely, frowning worriedly and looking all kinds of contrite.]

[This next call is going to be awkward no matter how she does it, so Nano decides to just be direct.]

Xion-san, I still have your coat. I thought you'd probably want it back. If you can bring the clothes I gave you too, I was planning to do some laundry this weekend...

Um! I'll make some tea and cookies to share, so if you want to come over, I'll be around all day.

[Nano's seen this place before - it's pretty hard to miss, looming over the Aquarius District every morning on her way to school. But it showed up a number of times in the memories she got from Xion, and there's still a few strange lingering memories of things she knew how to do that Nano isn't exactly sure how to deal with, so she's decided to come by and check it out for herself. Of course, she has no idea that several of her friends actually live here, so she understandably looks a little nervous as she approaches the front gate.]

Do... do I just knock...?

"I had memories that weren't mine, but they all seem to be from the same person. I can't really explain it well."

I can't really determine whether my memories all come from the same person or not - I still haven't found out who they come from at all. One or two outliers would easily slip through.

What else did you remember, Shinonome-san? I believe I have an "extra" memory as well.

Do you know who they came from? What were they?

I suppose that's true...

You'll promise not to tell anyone, right?

But you know? That makes you very lucky.

It does?

Yes, of course.

"I can't really explain it well. One of them was having tea with me in some place I've never been before. I would say it is something that hasn't happened yet but it was in a place that looks like it was several hundred years older than me."

The person I was switched with... The way I acted upset me, but it would reassure me to know that it was just the mannerisms of an ordinary person.

It was a memory of wearing a mask late at night and spray painting graffiti with some other people in masks.

That sounds very strange.

Well, mine came from a friend, but this other one didn't feel like those at all.

I suppose you could tell that way.

"I know she had a family. There are some memories of them. Those were really the strongest ones, or at least for me cause I've never really had one. Still I don't think I want to go through something like that again."

[When Xion gets announced, even privately, she sort of... panics. Not a lot! But still, it happens. So she's very, very careful with her reply. She does need to get her coat back, after all.]

At your house, right? I'll bring the clothes.

[Nano understands. After ten days of personally experiencing her memories, she knows full well how important it is to Xion to keep stuff like this a secret. Nodding and hoping she's conveying that understanding, Nano smiles back at the feed.]

I'll be in the living room. You can come right inside.

I hope you're feeling better now, though.

I know what you mean.

...Masks?

[Hoshi raises her eyebrows in surprise. Well, this just got really interesting. And kind of disturbing, if she thinks about it.]

I remembered wearing a mask, too. There was an assembly of some sort. It was dark, and everyone there was disguised and masked.

I wonder if the two memories are connected, somehow.

Oh, yes. Everyone's being very supportive, I don't really know what to do with it.

In yours too?

[Nano's eyes go wide, and she immediately looks about twice as worried.]

I... I think they are.

There are a lot of nice people living in this city.

"That and I now have a closet full of black frilly dresses."
