Ehh?! [He doesn't know Minera either? Well, shoot, he's out of ideas, then.]

So you two are from a completely different world out there entirely? [That's just wild to him. His mind was already pretty blown finding out one of his planet's moons was actually another planet entirely, but now Asura is telling him there're other worlds out there?! This is more than he can handle.]

This is crazy... But I've got no choice but to believe you here.

[He takes one last look around his surroundings. He wants this place to leave a lasting impression on his Spiria, since it seems like he's gonna have a heck of a journey ahead of him trying to help out Ruca here.]

I don't know how it happened, but I'll find a way to get him back where he belongs, he's probably got friends who're worried about him right now! I'll take care of things, so thanks for the help, General Asura!

[See, he's listening!]

[demonicbookworm]

[Asura laughs again, then gives the boy an approving look.]

Good luck. Hopefully, Ruca will remember everything soon.

[Then he turns around as if to leave, but after taking a few steps he stops in his tracks and says one more thing:]

I don't know if you have monsters out there, but he can fight. Just make sure to get him a broadsword.

[And then he continues to walk.]

...Who knows, maybe getting into a fight or two will make him remember something.

[And with that said, Asura leaves the room.]

[spirialink]

[Huh. Well, this has been an interesting turn of events. If Asura is to be believed (and Kor has no reason to doubt him at all), then Ruca's really from another world entirely? Wild. He wasn't able to fix Ruca's memory, but... Maybe, just maybe he's gotten a few leads here.

He'll just have to pursue them.

He gives one last nod in Asura's direction, and then he disengages the Spiria Link, returning to the real world, popping back into existence in front of Ruca.]

[demonicbookworm]

[Ruca stands up the moment he sees Kor back.]

Are you okay? How did it go?

[He frowns a little, then gives the other boy a worried look.]

...I still don't remember anything.

[spirialink]

Yeah, sorry. Your Spiria's a little out of this world compared to what I usually see. [Literally though.

There's a pause from him, though. And then.]

Say, Ruca. Does... the name "Asura" mean anything to you? Or how about a really beautiful castle floating in the sky?

[demonicbookworm]

Asu...ra...? [He asks with wide eyes.] ...The Sky Castle?

[As those words leave his mouth, Ruca touches his forehead. Why does he know that name? Who is Asura? What is the Sky Castle? It feels like the memory of those two is there and yet it slips away when he tries to grasp it.]

...I can't remember... It sounds familiar... I know the castle is called "the Sky Castle"... but I can't remember anything else...

[A pause.]

"Asura"... [Ruca mutters.] ...That name sounds important.

[His head hurts. He just can't remember no matter how much he wants to.]

[spirialink]

[The Sky Castle, huh... That's a pretty literal name. But Ruca knew the name, so they're onto something for sure then!]

I don't really get it, but... He seemed important. Especially to you. People leave impressions on our Spirias, so if he exists like he does inside you, he must be really important to who you are.

[Yeah, he still doesn't quite grasp what Asura was talking about there. Reincarnation is a bit beyond Kor's scope.]

So, are you ready to go?

[demonicbookworm]

So you met him... here? [Ruca asks, pressing his hand over his heart. He has no doubt that Asura was someone very important to him, but he doesn't remember anything about him. It makes him sad.]

...What did he look like? Please, tell me everything... maybe if I hear more about him I can remember.

[He needs to grasp every chance, even the smallest-

But then Ruca blinks when Kor asks him that last question.]

Go where?

[spirialink]

[Kor blinks at Ruca, first once, and then twice.]

...Oh. I thought you knew. [That's usually how it works when he does Spiria Links? Most people just seem to understand whatever conclusion happens in there, even if they don't have explicit knowledge of him being inside them. Ruca becomes an odder case by the minute...

But then he grins widely and brightly.]

We're going on an adventure, that's where! Just you and me!

[demonicbookworm]

[Ruc gives him a surprised look, then he looks down.]

...So I really may be out of this world...

[He sighs, then gives the other boy a determined look.]

I want to know who I am and where I am from... So let's go.

[Even if it sounds a little crazy, it's not like Ruca has any better ideas.]

[spirialink]

[Kor smiles in Ruca's direction. He can really appreciate Ruca's determination and resolve. After all, how many people, when faced with total amnesia and the vague awareness that they're from another world all together, would look that in the face and decide they're willing to do whatever they need to in order to find the truth? Not many, that's for sure.]

You've got a strong Spiria, Ruca.

[He gives a brief glance around the office Ruca's been occupying.]

Alright, pack up and meet me at the entrance to town. I'm gonna go find Tekt and let him know what's up!

[And then Kor runs right out the door. He's got an idea of where Tekt might be, after all. He'll catch up with you later, Ruca.]
