Voice Testing Time!

[thirdliberation]

Is it...finally over? I heard Gabrielle's voice but it was so faint. Then that monster attacked me and I could barely hear her anymore. What happened to Gabrielle? Why did she sound hurt?

Something happened after I dived. Owen did something to them, right?

...

Why won't you answer me? I know you're there! I dived into the past and you managed to dive into me.

How can you do that? What do you know?

[Don't mind her, taking a moment to type something out on her PDA and then showing it to her.]

She's a mun. Muns tend to be able to break the logic of things.

[thirdliberation]

[ Bizarre. Why would this woman want to type all this out rather than say it? Meh, whatever. Aya isn't going to question it. ]

A mun? Is that what she's supposed to be? But how could she--

[ She pauses. ]

...Okay, all of this is weirder than the usual stuff.

[dullahanrider]

I don't understand it myself. I just know they're the ones in charge when you're here.

[...]

They want something from you, if you're here.

[thirdliberation]

Like what? I have nothing to give, nothing more than I already have!

[ Between all the experiments, the violence, the pain, what else could she possibly give at this point? This is maddening. ]

Well, someone better tell her to back off. I have nothing she can have or want.

[dullahanrider]

Your time. [they just love wasting it.]

[thirdliberation]

Time?

[ She stares at the biker girl. ]

That's the one thing I don't have!

[mechabadass]

WELP. TO PUT IT MILDLY:

THAT IS YOUR MUN. YOU'RE IN THEIR HEAD. WELCOME TO PAIN.

[thirdliberation]

[...a robotic blue hedgehog? A robotic blue hedgehog is talking to her? Oh, Aya, what has your life come to? ]

...You got to be kidding me! How could she be in my head? Are you saying she dived into me?

[mechabadass]

[Your life has come to this, Aya. Yes.]

ACTUALLY, NO, THE OPPOSITE. YOU ARE IN HER HEAD. CAN'T REALLY DO MUCH ABOUT IT THOUGH.

[thirdliberation]

...what? Is this supposed be a joke? How could I be inside of her head if--

[ Okay, you lost her. She utterly has no idea what's going on around here anymore. ]

I need to escape!

[mechabadass]

...YOU CAN TRY CONVINCING THEM TO LET YOU GO, BUT FROM EXPERIENCE IT DOESN'T NORMALLY WORK.

[thirdliberation]

Of course it wouldn't. It's never that easy but what option do I have?

[tailsdoll]

...

[DO YOU NEED A HUG]

[thirdliberation]

...?

[ She needs therapy. ]

[mitochondrial]

Diving? [ Wasn't that.. ]

[thirdliberation]

[...!]

Y-You look just like--[ Cue in the classic "deer-in-headlights" look and a lengthy pause. ] You look like her, like she did.

[ What is happening here? What happened here? ]

...Aya?

[mitochondrial]

[ That confirms it for her. Aya smiles, and nods, holding out her arms. ] It's me, Eve.

[thirdliberation]

[ It's her! It's really her. After all this time--]

Aya!

[ Watch out, big sis. She's going to hug you as tight as she can. ]

I didn't think I would see you again! I didn't think I could save you. I...I really thought...

[ There's too much for her to say. Just too much. ]

[mitochondrial]

[ Aya hugs back just as tight, gently caressing Eve's hair. The shock of seeing her sister in her body has long worn off; to Aya, Eve's just her twin. ] You saved everyone. That's the important thing.

[thirdliberation]

I did? [ She sounds so shocked to hear that. ] Yes, I did. It's over now. Everything will be normal now, right?

[ Goodness, she's about to cry. So many awful things have happened but now everything was going to be fine at last. ]

Aya, I'm so sorry. I didn't know what else to do when you...died.

[mitochondrial]

You did the best you could. That's all anyone like us can do. [ Shh, don't cry! Aya's not going anywhere this time. ]

[thirdliberation]

As long as you're not angry with me, I can be happy.

[ Aya's kind words allow her to take a deep sigh of relief. Here she thought she ruined everything...]

I tried and I'm so glad I did.

[mitochondrial]

I'm not angry. Not at you.
