Two hours later.
At the Divination Department.
"Are you ready?"
Fu Xuan folded her arms and looked at March 7th, who stood at the center of the Grand Void Array. Her voice was grave.
"In a moment, I'll link your memories to the Grand Void Array. It may be uncomfortable, so brace yourself."
"I-I'll be fine... I'll be ready!"
March 7th clenched her fists, but she still looked uncertain.
"But... Diviner Fu, am I really the first person who came to see you today?"
"Yes. Who else would it be?"
Fu Xuan gave her a matter-of-fact look.
"Who came rushing into the Divination Department calling for me just now? You did, and you were alone."
"What, are you going senile at your age?"
"Uh... I remember that much."
March 7th scratched her head. "But I keep feeling like... I came with someone else."
"Someone else?"
Fu Xuan blinked and looked around.
Aside from the diviners, no one else was there.
"When Miss March entered the Divination Department, did any of you see anyone else?" Fu Xuan asked the diviners.
"N-no..."
The diviners shook their heads.
Fu Xuan sighed and looked at March 7th helplessly.
"Miss March, what's gotten into you?"
"You came here to recover your memories. Why are you suddenly hesitating?"
"Unless... you've changed your mind?"
Fu Xuan stared into March 7th's eyes, her voice grave.
"I must stress this again: recovering memories isn't always a good thing. They could cause you pain, or leave you lost and unable to move forward."
"N-no, that's not it..."
March 7th shook her head, her voice catching.
"I keep feeling like... I've forgotten something very important. But it's not from before I boarded the train."
"..."
Seeing how conflicted March 7th was, Fu Xuan and the surrounding diviners fell silent.
She
