[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.]

[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.

[goodbyenurse]

[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.

[cantstopthebeat]

... Zaniah?

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

[goodbyenurse]

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.

[cantstopthebeat]

... 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.

[goodbyenurse]

Of course.

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

[cantstopthebeat]

Mm. It is.

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

[goodbyenurse]

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

[cantstopthebeat]

. . . 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.

[goodbyenurse]

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.

[cantstopthebeat]

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

[goodbyenurse]

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.

[cantstopthebeat]

... I'd like to know who they are. Later.

[goodbyenurse]

Of course. I will be sure to pass it along after we see if this must be added to the list.

[cantstopthebeat]

Alright...

Hopefully it's not, though.

[goodbyenurse]

Even if it is, I will do what I am able to help aid your recovery.
