[Somewhere, a bell begins to ring. You may know the type—obnoxious and loud, signalling the start of a brand new day of lectures and learning. Rise and shine, lovelies; wakey wakey eggs and bakey! And with that, just as the toll falls silent, you hear the sound you may have been waiting for: the click of a lock.

You're free to explore.]

...Ferril? [Hi I was out getting deets.]

[oh my god you know who I am and you look like a Teal and!!!]

—Macaron!

Good day to you. Well--as good as can be, considering.

I am with Math.

Rue, Vanilla, and I are all on Music...

I see... I wonder if any others are here. Apparently you are not the first to have recognized me, either.

—Who else recognized you? Is it someone from the Library?

Not at all. Apparently I lose my memory again and go by Belt at some point.

More of the same fare, really. I look forward to it.

[. . .]

You... look forward to it...

Hell for you all is more or less a Tuesday to me. I will persevere, as ever, and work to limit collateral damage and injury.

[SIGH MACARON]

. . . Hopefully that's not something we have to worry about.

We were given first aid kits.

Even I am not quite that optimistic. Still, I will assist you as I am able.

I want to try to be optimistic, Macaron...

Then do. However, the Auditorium seems built for a war room style of game, and we have been told nothing.

While hoping for the best, I intend to plan to keep everyone in one piece.

[lol we're not going to stay in one piece]

We can try to stay in one piece, at least. I don't have any good feelings about this.

[I can still try GDI.]

I do--but that is perhaps why I know it will be dangerous.

Also, if you like, Zaniah is fine.

... Zaniah?

That's your real name, isn't it?

It is. I have stopped truly being Macaron for some time now.

She was a lovely woman, but I needed to return to myself ere I forget the lessons I learned at the library.

... I understand.

[a pause, before:]

My real name is Ellen. I haven't used it—I don't feel like Ellen anymore, but... I want you to know, since you shared yours with me.

Of course.

Until you are comfortable with who you are, is Ferril still preferable, then?

Mm. It is.

[Because I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with Ellen ever again]

...So, what have you been up to, since the library ended?

. . . I've been with Rena, in Kanon.

Hibiki, Kanade, and Ako were all really worried. Otokichi was trying to use music therapy for me, too.

I see...

Might I recommend professional counseling? When all this is over, I would be happy to introduce you to a contact I have made back home.

... You know someone that wouldn't think any of us were crazy?

I was able to persuade him that I was not from this world.

The rest he was quite receptive to after that. I thought you and yours may require some additional assistance beyond my capabilities.
