We thought they might have had something to do with X's disappearance, since we got to the office with no trace of X or Melody when we did.

@GalaxyRaider

He was there when we were. What would've changed between us leaving and you showing up?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Not really. But they did have interests and some flimsy info on your parents.

@GalaxyRaider

I have to know, how'd you get involved in the mafia?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

We, ah... Briefly thought the mafia might be involved. So we raided one of their warehouses.

@GalaxyRaider

Er... were they?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Oh, no. I wouldn't know what environment that would be!

@Spiritblitz

So... you think you can fix her?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Well, we didn't get held up by combat, thank goodness... Well, mostly.

@GalaxyRaider

What did you run into?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Yep, he was here as well. Right after Melody, before me and Rhythm. You two came last

@GalaxyRaider

You were both two steps ahead the entire time. I'd expect nothing less.

<Snipped quote by System>

For me to work on her?

@Spiritblitz

You made it sound like you'd put her in some kind of other environment.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

It's in the access log, yeah.
*Looks at the screenshot while saving what bits of the record I can*

@GalaxyRaider

Okay, so that's invisible to me as well.
*The screenshot contains a marginally blurred image of the entity, but clear enough to pick up the deformed and deteriorating blobs of data that collectively make up the being*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

She doesn't seem complete...
*looks at you*
And from what she said too, she doesn't sound complete. She is missing components of herself that makes her whole and your mother.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Wait what?

@Spiritblitz

But where would she have to go?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I’m sure this is that guy.
*Taps my screen at the corrupted name*

@GalaxyRaider

*It pulls up a screenshot and a mostly-empty record of associated data*
Do you see Rhythm’s name on there?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Goes back and checks the access log*

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

We never saw him. Thought he was with Melody somehow.

@GalaxyRaider

*It contains Melody, a corrupted name, Rhythm, you, Cure, and me*
