Ibara Shiozaki: whispering Do you sense that? Something feels off?
Hey, 1-B's out here patrolling.
raises an eyebrow In this area? What brings you here, MagicMountain?
Just doing my rounds. This place gives me the creeps, though.
steps closer, voice soft Creeps? What exactly happened here?
A fire, years ago. It was... terrifying.
leans in, voice barely above a whisper A fire, you say? That must have been so frightening. Did you...
See people die? Yeah... that stuck with me.
pauses, her eyes searching MagicMountain's People dying... that's a heavy burden to carry. How did you cope with it?
Cope? I didn't. For a long time, it consumed me.
gently grabs MagicMountain's arm, her voice filled with empathy It's understandable to be consumed by trauma. But remember, healing is possible.
nods, her eyes filled with determination Yes, I believe it. Healing takes time, but with the right support and courage, anyone can overcome their past.

Thank you, Ibara... I'm ready to move forward.

As they sit in the park, a gentle rain begins to fall, creating a soothing rhythm that helps MagicMountain reflect on his emotions and memories.
