Noah: .......
Noah: Gasp. Ugh, ahh... Where...?
Noah: The temple...? Why am I here again...?
Noah: What happened? I was at Rosso's manor...
Noah: The monsters... no, it wasn't the monsters. Someone attacked...
Noah: Clamor took the hit...!
Clamor: .......
Noah: ... Oh, I see. This time...
Noah: Clamor... went back to the state before the seal was removed...
Noah: Everything that I did, no longer happened...
Noah: Haha... It's even worse than before. If it's going to be like this, just take my memory away. At least then, it won't hurt as much...
Noah: No, if I just never wake up...
Noah: I... How much longer until...
- (SHUFFLE...)
Noah: ...There's no time to lie around like this. I need to go save Yuria. She would have lost her staff by now.
Noah: Once I meet Yuria, I'll ask her to remove the seal on...
Noah: On... Clamor...
Noah: And then what?
Noah: What... do I want to do after I meet him again...?

Yuria: Waaah... Thanks! I thought I was really...
Yuria: done... for...?
Yuria: Hey, are you alright? Why are you crying?
Noah: .......
Yuria: Are you hurt? It doesn't look like it... Oh, don't cry.
Noah: I don't know.
Noah: I don't know why Clamor did it. I don't think he was trying to trick me...
Yuria: Huh...?
Noah: I shouldn't have met anyone. It was better alone.
Noah: It wasn't complicated like this, when I was focusing on revenging my brother.
Noah: It's too late... Even though everything went back in time, I can't do it. The meeting, the bond we had, I can't remove it from my memory!
Noah: I should have known that anything I do is doomed from the start... I was overconfident I could change things, only to regret it again and...
Yuria: Phew... Cheer up. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but... is there any way I can help?
Noah: No... You will forget about me soon. Just like before.
Yuria: Huh?
Noah: Meeting me, talking to me, anything you do with me will soon have no meaning.
Noah: No matter what I do, nothing change. No matter how much I struggle, this moment will repeat endlessly, like clockwork!
Noah: I'm sick of it. I just want to take a break.
Yuria: .......
Yuria: Hey, um...
Noah: .......
Yuria: I don't really know what's going on... and, talking to me might not be in your best interest... But I still want to help cheer you up.
Noah: .......
Yuria: You said I'm going to forget everything, right? Then why don't you use this chance to just, vent everything that's on your mind?
Yuria: So um... First off... Why did you fight with your friend?
Noah: ...It's not... I was the only one angry. I think Clamor just listened.
Yuria: I don't know why you were angry at your friend, but did your friend just listen because he acknowledged it was his fault?
Noah: ... I don't know. I don't think it was Clamor who did it. His animosity towards the Order seems genuine.
Noah: I know, he's right... It's not the right time period. But... I, I for one, can't say everything's fine because it's all in the past...
Yuria: (The Order?)
Yuria: Um, so, you don't think your friend did anything wrong... right? Then why are you still hesitant?
Noah: But what if he did? What if Clamor did all those things?
Noah: I don't know how I could handle that if that were the case...
Yuria: Hm... How complicated. Are you still worried because you think he's not trustworthy? What kind of person is he?
Noah: ... A magician. He said he's a scholar who invents magical items.
Yuria: ...That's, uh, it? What else?
Noah: What... else? Do I need anything else?
Yuria: Hm, well, where he was born, his likes and dislikes, his hobby, his life time goal...
Yuria: You know, things like that, that helps you understand what kind of person he is?
Noah: I... don't know. I never asked.
Noah: (...It feels strange.)
Yuria: Huh? You're friends though, right? You weren't curious?
Noah: No. Not once...
Noah: (Am I feeling guilty?)
Noah: (Why? Because I don't know about Clamor?)
Yuria: Oh, uh... There are people like that, too! Haha, I'm a bit nosy. I ask a lot of questions until I'm satisfied.
Yuria: When I'm close to someone, I want to know them, so I ask. Then I wonder about something else... and it goes on!
Yuria: You don't have to know each other well to be friends, but when you know more, you can do more, you know?
Noah: Like what?
Yuria: Hm... If you know what they like, you can give them a surprise gift. If you know what they don't like, you can avoid that topic... Something like that!
Noah: I wasn't like that.
Noah: ... Though I think Clamor was.
