04 [Action/Voice]

[Asbel is in the plaza today, fighting his way through the sudden crowd of people of mysterious and varying origins.]

Excuse me- ...Ahh, pardon me- I need to get through here, please! Nnngh...

[Eventually, Asbel manages to get himself to a point where he can safely pull out his journal to pose to the network a question.]

...Why is there suddenly such an influx of new people here? Is... there a conference in town today? I wonder for what purpose...

[When she reaches him, she leans forward slightly, one hand pressed up against her chest while she catches her breath.] A-are you alright? I was looking all over for you. Where are Sophie and the others?

I'm fine, Cheria. But Sophie is... ...Sophie and the others aren't here.

They aren't? Then, we should search for them. I... don't believe this place is safe.

[Could they really be here now? Cheria's arrived, so...]

...If we're going to search for them, then we should go get Richard first.

King Richard is here? [She looks alarmed. It's only logical, considering they were last on their way to Lastaria]

Erm... Yes, that's right. He is. [He's confused by her expression.]

...Is there a problem with that, Cheria?

But he's... [She trails off and shakes her head.]

Asbel, we were supposed to fight King Richard and free him from Lambda's influence.

Cheria, we... We already freed Richard from Lambda's influence... Do you really not remember...?

We... What? [Oh, and now she looks even more terrified. Amnesia? How did this happen? What else did she forget?]

Is this, perhaps... What Richard had meant...?

What are you talking about, Asbel?

Richard had mentioned that even people from the same world here can be from different points in time.

Asbel... You aren't making any sense. Please, just start from the beginning.

Ahh, well... [Give him a moment. He has to think about how to word this...]

[She will wait, anxiously biting her bottom lip. Honestly, she has no clue what's even going on and Asbel is not helping.]

...Well, you see, Cheria... This isn't Efinea, and it isn't Phodra, either. It's a different world, called Luceti.

A-another world? How did we get here? I don't recall the shuttle being launched to break through the seal again.

It wasn't with the shuttle.

H-haaaah?!

It's, well...

...This is Luceti, Cheria. I still don't understand how you end up here, but I do know it's not willingly.

[She's still trying to wrap her mind around this, but it's all so sudden and unclear.] ... If the shuttle isn't here, how are we supposed to return home?

That's... something we haven't figured out yet. But... I'm not sure how well the shuttle would do, unless more modifications were made.

Then, we're trapped here?!

Unfortunately, that--

[...Suddenly, he notices something off.]

...Cheria, why don't you have wings?
