[There's a silence, for a long moment -- before Rei finally works up the nerve to say something. She sounds tired.]

It's getting a lot harder to keep believing everything has a purpose in this place.

[There's a long rush of air as Rei exhales.]

It's almost as if the Animus don't want us here -- but if that's true, then why have I been here for over a year? Why have some people been here longer? What makes some of us different?

-- if anyone's got any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

[The only people Rei would need to tell, about Haruka vanishing, would be the senshi themselves. And the senshi, being the senshi, already know. So why repeat something painful?

But all the same, she seems to want to say more -- before she ends the feed.]

Because I need to know whether or not leaving with your memories is possible. And I'm not going to stop until I figure out how this place was made, why it was made, and what went wrong -- because that's the only way it's going to happen.

[It's not for her -- well. She would be lying if she said it wasn't completely for her. But she needs to have someone leave with their complete memories. His future completely and utterly depends on it.]

I tried, Rei- that first part.

There isn't.

[So very quietly.]

I can't accept that.

[She thought she had. A long time ago. But circumstances change.]

I need to find the scientists.
