[She'd been lurking the network on and off for a few weeks. Now, she knew a fair amount of what had been happening, but her schoolwork - regrettably - came first. As tantalizing a lead as this network was to the truth, it would be there regardless. But now, she finally had some time between studying and her scattered extracurriculars. Marvelous.

A voice comes across on the network, and it sounds like a teenage girl speaking softly.]

Let's get right to it. My name is Natalie Sherman.

... I have to say, for all I'd heard, I didn't expect to be a part of this. I've done a bit of reading, and this certainly explains a few things - my uncle's arrest, for a start. He was guilty, to put it mildly, so today's verdict is what he deserved. And as for the source of those sex scandal allegations... [her tone changes on that last point, she clearly isn't pleased or comfortable.] I'd like to have a few words with whoever thought that blog was a remotely good idea...

However, I do have a few other questions? Relating to one thing, primarily. I'm going to attach a pair of photos to this post. If anyone recognizes this card, I'd appreciate anything you might be able to tell me.

[two cell phone photos, two sides of a card. it's a little fuzzy, and surrounded by a blue glow. those paying close attention will see what looks like some kind of workbench behind the camera in these shots.]

I know that it's a tarot card - the Wheel of Fortune. But that's all that I know, and it only raises further questions.

Another thing... [she's not even going to bother making this private. she just needs to get his attention, and if she can open a line to anyone else who might know something by calling him out? so much the better.] Matt, I know you're here. You're a little hard to miss. Contact me.

It's not like you wouldn't have a right to know. [He has been very open about a lot of things.]

It's a tarot card, but no regular kind. The design is just like the the ones I remember from the people Minato befriended. But you're not one of them, unless you looked nothing like yourself.

[And it switches to Video so he can hold up the evoker.] Getting anything off of this? Anything about Nyx? Or Erebus?

I... appreciate that.

[There's a beat before she responds.]

Who are Akihiko Sanada and Mitsuru Kirijo?

[There's a beat and Matt's face just falls for a second. So she is connected. So she's going to deal with all the stuff he and Ken and Phillip have been dealing with? She's going to have to remember all of it too?

And then that second passes and his expression is overcompensatingly jokingly serious.]

I wish I knew. I know their faces--I think they were on the same team as Minato was. They fought shadows with him, I know that much. I think they were older, but they shared the uniform... sort of. They lived in the same dormitory so they had to still be in school, anyway...

[... damn it, Matt.]

I wouldn't describe what I remember them wearing as a uniform, exactly, but... [hmmm.]

Have you regained the uniform you're talking about?

[Don't you damnit at him. Now he has an 11 year old, a 13 year old and a 15 year old to look out for.]

I haven't. Akihiko had a white hair, and Mitsuru had red.

There were others, too. One of them is a kid I know.

[She nods at that.]

That sounds right, at least. Do you mean Ken? [wait.] ... He responded to me, before you ask if I've remembered something else.

Ken Amada, Justice Arcana, yeah.

... Yeah now that I think about it, I should probably warn you since this started, I hear voices.

... Would you mind explaining a little further? [he said it so matter-of-factly that she doubts it's something he should be seeking help for.]

When I get closer to somebody I hear a voice telling me that I have the blessing of the whatever arcana.

I got used to it.

... I see. [No she doesn't, not really. But whatever, she can figure this out later. More importantly...]

The team that you mentioned before - was it called "the Investigation Team"?

SEES, actually. He was the leader.

[Aaaand the name doesn't trigger anything. She just shakes her head.]

I remember fighting Shadows as part of a team, but nothing at all about SEES.

That's the team Ken and I were on.

I think that we can assume there's little direct connection...

I'm just surprised I don't remember you, if there is...

Then it's simplest to conclude that there isn't.

But we both remember some of the same things.

I think that our memories may have come from the same world, but it's very possible that they never had direct contact.

[And it occurs to him that she could definitely be someone who discovered she had a persona after he had died.

You know the thought is still crippling and terrifying.

He tries not to show it.]

Weird to think we knew the same people, though.

[And here's Nat none the wiser.]

It's odd, but considering what we apparently have in common...

It isn't terribly surprising.

Just... be careful. If we share anything at all, be careful.

Should you expect anything else from me? [yes, Nat.]

It's an across the board warning.
