Meanwhile, beyond the metal doors was a tunnel that sloped down into the earth. The younger woman held out a hand tentatively. Mirai grasped it and began to move forward.

“Right, you’ve been here before, haven’t you?” The woman’s voice was almost annoyingly soft. Maybe she was afraid that ‘Sharlotte’ would run away again.

It was a bit difficult to play the part now that Calidi’s memories were cut off from her own, but she remembered enough details to be convincing enough. “Miss Vereganna, did Anga tell you what I told you?”

“A little bit?” Vereganna tilted her head. “She said there was someone else in your body.”

“Yep! He’s not a bad person though, it’s just been confusing to have both of us like this. We’d rather both live our own lives. I came back here to give him a chance!”

“That’s really nice of you.” Motherly approval emanated from Vereganna’s voice.

Mirai put on a suitably proud smile in response. “Hey, I’m curious about something... I haven’t heard a thing from Anga or Mister Clay since we came in here!”

Vereganna blinked. “This entire place is soundproof, didn’t Anga tell you?”

Ah, so it was. There probably had been a memory about that but Calidi wasn’t available to pass that information along to her. Mirai switched to a quizzical expression. “Hm, I think I forgot.”

“It’s been a long time since she’s told you.” The woman chuckled. “I believe she said... well, it was when we first met and you wouldn’t say a single word. It was then that Anga told you that all your secrets were safe with her, since no one outside would be able to hear.”

“Sounds about right.” Mirai chirped back.
