[video, but filtered to fellow Otherworlders]

[ Sakura was not exactly the best at this sort of broadcast. It was essentially social media, and she was of the shy and introverted sort of Otherworlder, given her background. But she and Lucy had given this some discussion, and, weighing the merits, it seemed like a good idea.

Anyway, this broadcast is of the neural network type. That makes it easier on her to appear virtual/softened and to be relaxed. ]

Hello. My name is Sakura. Maybe we've met.

Recently, I was speaking to another Otherworlder, one of you from the... more futuristic worlds. This was at the coffee shop.

[ ... ]

We discussed... our guide. [ The girl who is apparently half-machine? If she understood correctly? Hence the hesitance. ] We would like to reach out to her. We wish to prepare a broadcast of memories as an extension of good will. Who would be willing to participate?

If not... perhaps signing/writing a note.

Completely voluntary. We discussed perhaps... a sort of digital card. Something like that. Our questions or observations about Magisteria so far. That girl - Seraphine Nova. She did mention wanting to speak with us.

Well... we discussed memories which might establish trust.

Vulnerability, but in a good way.

[ Lucy had said "something which can show her you can be vulnerable." Considering certain of Sakura's memories, this was bit of a complex prospect, but even her life had its beautiful and bright memories. ]

She mentioned maybe wanting to speak to us, so... showing her we're people to trust, I think.

[Showing her they were trustworthy... People often trusted him easily enough, but he's not sure showing his memories would help with that. Even if he set aside the ones he would be more willing to show, they are... complicated, difficult to unsnarl from the violence experienced across his lifetime. Personally, he feels the less people know about him the more willing they are to talk.]

I see...

[There's something he could offer that is... less personally connected to him. And given what he's heard of Magisteria and its concerns over other stars, it would be more comforting in a different manner.]

In my world of origin, I learned all other worlds fell to despair. Worlds that self-destructed from war and plague. Highly advanced civilisations that ceased to function when they had destroyed all their enemies. Societies that learned the end was inevitable and decided life was pointless.

Until my arrival here, I thought mine own world- [And the burgeoning one he, Jammingway and the remnants of Ultima Thule had cultivated] was the only one still full of life.

[He has a complicated smile on his face, half hidden by the bad camera angle.]

...'Tis heartening to know that Magisteria and so many other worlds exist and are continuing to live.

[nightmare_fuel]

[ Sakura's own smile is a little bittersweet. ]

Do you suppose we're in ... another timeline, then?

[ Not merely on another world. No, that would not explain the discrepancy this man speaks of. If all other worlds fell, then that should not change merely because they are on another world. But Rhea'li's comments have really gotten Sakura thinking.

She's not exactly an expert on this sort of thing, but she does come from a universe where other timelines are not an utterly foreign concept, in any case. ]
