>Pain…

>That is the feeling that wracks your body as you slowly return to consciousness. You barely remember anything that happened… You faintly recall a massive explosion, fire, and a sense of despair followed by fulfillment, but aside from that, nothing.

>You are dressed in nothing but a tattered greenish-gray suit or jacket of some sort, with some kind of fancy techno-ornament sitting on your chest. Your long, pale-blue hair drapes around you as you lie on the ground. As feeling returns to your legs, you make an honest attempt to stagger to your feet, managing to do so after a few attempts.

>You are notably injured, as your pain would suggest, with your skin being heavily singed in places and your hands feeling mostly numb. However, a visual inspection reveals that they are thankfully intact, though there are some flecks of blood and what seem to be a few metal bits and wires poking out of what wounds you do see… You wonder if the rest of your body is in a similar state underneath your clothes…

>At least you can walk, it seems, as you discover after a brief test. Observing your surroundings, you note that you appear to be in a tranquil forest, with a beautiful blue sky above… It’s an interesting sight, to be honest, even with your memory being clouded as it is, you’re pretty certain you’ve never seen a sky so blue before, or a forest this green for that matter… However, a small part of you gives you a nagging feeling of wrongness and urges you to burn all this beautiful scenery to a crisp!

>…but you manage to suppress the desire. There is a time and place for everything after all. Plus you’re in too much pain to want to burn things right now…

>...Why do you want to burn things anyway?

>Something to wonder about later, you suppose... As you begin to stumble in a random direction as fast as your injured body can take you, you try to recall any more details about yourself, starting with your name… You… vaguely recall it was something related to stars…?

>Hmm… …Star… ...no… Ho...shi…? B…rei…

>Ah, right… How could you have forgotten?

>Your name is Reika Hoshino, and you have no idea where you are or where you came from…

>What do we hear

>Have we seen any moss on the trees

>Look for a stick that can be used as a walking stick.

>The chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects. It's kind of peaceful actually...
>Though you have a slight nagging feeling that things seem a bit too peaceful... You're not sure why.

>You look around, soon finding a fallen branch that seems like it would be long and sturdy enough to support your weight.
>It takes a bit of effort to grab it on account of still not having full feeling in your hands back as well as the overall pain slowing your movement, but eventually you manage to get ahold of it and begin to lean into it as you walk. Mentally sighing in relief as it makes moving a bit easier.

>This feeling of too peaceful seems likely from our past.
->Perhaps a dangerous environment

>Does the word pyromania feel like it fits us?

>Take a look at the trees
->Do we recognize any of the species and where they would be found?

>How much daylight do we appear to have
->Place fingers between the sun and the horizon and that many fingers that fit is the hours left.

>You ponder.
>Fire is admittedly beautiful to look at, you would say, especially when it burns everything in its path...
>You kinda don't want to go starting them everywhere though... Someone could get hurt. Plus you doubt it would be good for the forest, even though it would look much better that way...
>You stop for a moment. Where did that thought come from?
>...Did you do something like that before you lost your memories?
>...
>No... Surely you wouldn't have. You're a good girl...

>You think you have the majority of the day left. The sun is almost above you, after all.

>You manage to stumble onto what seems to be a dirt road. One direction seems to lead deeper into the woods, while the other seems to lead out...
>You also think you hear distant sounds of... ...laughter?
