[Action/Video] First dream

[The recent "request" from Thundercorp still echoed in Rakka's ears. And as ridiculous as it sounded... it was hard to refuse - more manipulation, sure, but what could she do about it? Not go? As much as Locke City showed scorn to the Numbered now, it used to be Rakka's home for the hardest year of her life. In the end, it wasn't a difficult decision to make.

She was going to fight some snakes... whether or not that meant agreeing to Thundercorp's offer. It's the hero thing to do, like in anime!

Which eventually lead to her jumping onto the Network with her phone, sometime later in the day. The screen was small, but at arms length it easily captured Cure Feather's face, filled with determination. Some of the buildings of the business district sat behind her, along with the remains of a newly destroyed snake.
]

Hey, it's Rakka, back in Locke again. [She brushes some static-y hair back.] I've been fighting snakes all morning and I'm pretty sure the snakes here are just like the old ones. They look like the old ones did, and I think they fight the same, too.

[She smiled, giving a little laugh.] This is a lot easier then using a stick, though. Hehe....

[....And then she paused. Her gaze slipped away from the screen to look off at...

A path made of little stones, the metal lines - tracks - running up and past her and off into the distance. The dark, windy sky overhead... Everything was gone. There was no Locke City anymore, only this... familiar place.
]

W-what.... Oh no...!

[There she was, just standing there a few meters away. There was no other person in the world with those clothes, and those dark, sinbound wings. Rakka's voice caught in her throat and she looked ready to cry.]

Reki! Look out, Reki!

[And before anyone can ask, she's rushes off to tackle some unfortunate person to the ground. Her phone is dropped without a second thought, and fortunately ends the feed there.]

... And... were you there for her? Did you try to help her? Or... do you not remember yet?

... I see. I can see why it's affected you like that. Lily and Winter have both had memories of people they care about...

[Of course, Jasmine herself? Most of her memories were of antagonistic forces.]

I can understand why that would make you feel regret, though. But... at the very least, she was someone you cherished. You should hold onto that, even if parts of it were painful.

[Yes. Lucky. That's exactly what Jasmine is.

She chuckles and ruffles Rakka's hair a bit.]


I'm glad, Rakka. You're a good person, and... I like to believe that's true of any version of you.

[Jasmine nodded.]

Of course I did. You're my friend, aren't you?

[Jasmine is going to help Rakka stand up.]

You'd know her better than I do. But... I think any friend of yours would want you to be happy, yes.
