> "...I did something really stupid and self-destructive. It worked out in the end, but...yeah."
> "I'm sure you had a good reason for it, right? Like something bad was happening?"
> "Let's just confirm who's story is the right one." Megumu says.
> "I'm afraid I won't be able to provide timeframes, since I don't even know how long I was out when I managed all of this for myself." Youmu gestures.
> "Is there anyone we can ask?"
> "There's Gwen. But she doesn't talk." Youmu says, pointing towards the water Nitori.
> Nitori shrugs.
> "Anyone else?" Saki asks.
> "Hm... There was also that fairy on my way home. Mikuru, I think her name was. I said I might be able to train with her. Was she still on the stairs?"
> "I saw a few fairies on the steps the way here." Miko answers.
> "Sounds like she might still be there, then. We can ask her how long it's been since she talked to me. Then I can better tell-"
> "You say that like a fairy's gonna remember." Miko reminds.
