[Grune is actually quiet for a little while, still petting Hematite. She remembers that first experiment. She had been very happy then. Of course, she's very happy now, but...it had been nice, being married to Dhaos like that.]

Hmm.... Maybe you're right.

[semper_cogitans]

[Very softly, then, and very uncertainly:] ... What... what if that... is this?

What if - and, and I do not want to think this, but what if - what if this is the Malnosso's experimentation, again...?

[The thought that his life, his years of study of Pokémon, everything is fake... it is terrifying.

But it is also not unprecedented.]

[lostinmyway]

Do you think it might be?

[Her voice is gentle and her gaze on him is steady--but that's because it hasn't occurred to her yet that her life with Cecil and Rosa and Kain at her home back in Baron might be equally false. It's easier to be calm when your family isn't at stake.]

[semper_cogitans]

... It... seems that way. But... [How does he explain this to Grune?]

There is so much of myself that... that seems wrong, in the journal. And yet... and yet, it... corroborates with what others think about me.

And... there are similar oddities with other people.

[lostinmyway]

Are there?

[That's her first response, but then she stops to think for a little while. Maybe this is why Fenimore was carrying around such a large gun. She seemed to think it was normal, too. It was a little strange.]

[semper_cogitans]

Yes...

Perhaps even yourself, though there is... nothing significant I can detect.

[It's all very uncomfortable, and it doesn't sit well with Robert.]

Whatever it means... I need to understand.

[lostinmyway]

[For a moment, at his unexpected words, her lips part just a little. Could something about her life be different, too? But what would it be? There's nothing she wishes hadn't happened, and so much she's so happy that did....

Well, there's no use in worrying. She's positive everything will turn out all right.]

What are you going to do?

[semper_cogitans]

[This is where he isn't sure.]

... I do not know. I suppose... look for answers.

[lostinmyway]

Can I help?

[After all, if what he says is true, some of her friends might need her to help them figure out what's really true.]

[semper_cogitans]

... [... On the one hand, it's Grune.

On the other hand, it's Grune.]

If... if you wish. But I am not certain where to start, Grune.

[lostinmyway]

Well.... Why don't you start at the beginning?

[She's not being sarcastic. She's being 100% sincere here.]

[semper_cogitans]

[Starting at the beginning would be a Herculean feat.]

... Have you... heard of a city called Cerulean...?

[This is Grune he's talking to, but... he's hoping she will at least remember something.]

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... I wonder.

[Nope.]
