Hello everyone, Lux here with a bit of official Seeker business. I was hoping if a few people would be willing to help me out. I promise that I won't take up too much of your time.

The Seekers are looking to collect first-hand accounts of what those that went underground during the... time travel-vision-whatever that might have been--the earthquakes, in order to hopefully learn more about the experience, as well as possible connections to the past before the time of the Savior.

These interview can be conducted in a number of different ways. If you feel comfortable, someone from the Seekers--either myself or someone else--will meet with you in person, in a place of your choice. If you don't feel comfortable meeting in person, we can arrange other methods to communicate, either through the warp bands, letters, or some other means.

You do not have to feel obligated to speak to one of us, let me be clear. However, we do hope that enough people are willing to recall what they saw while down there. You have the option of staying anonymous if you so choose, but getting first-hand accounts of what you saw or felt during this time are important in understanding the past, as well as what the Gods' intentions were in the past, or are now.

Thank you everyone for hearing me out. I hope to hear from some of you soon!

If you don't feel comfortable speaking, you don't need to force yourself. I know it was very traumatizing to many of us.

It's not that. It's...well, it's just confusing. Like, I'm not sure what there was I could have done...and I want to understand it better? But every time I think about it, I just get more confused.

I understand. A lot of us feel that way, but the best way too understand it is to talk to someone, and compare your experience with others'.

Well it's...more than that. I feel, well...I feel like I should've taken more away from that experience than fear. I want to understand all this better, but I don't know where to start.

Talking about it, maybe? I mean...what kinds of stuff do you want to know?

[ Lux nods a bit. ]

If they were trying to prove a point, then maybe that was what they wanted you to take from it. Fear, and respect. But that's just a thought, I could be completely off-base.

Hmm, well, maybe starting with what you saw and experienced?

Well, it's not like I don't respect them. There's evidence all around of what they can do.

[But that isn't the point.]

And yeah, well...I saw this big god. It looked a little bit like a Tyranitum or something, but a lot bigger. And it was definitely Fire typed. We were in a city, and it was definitely destroying that place. And...everyone and everything in it. People, Pokemon, even babies and children.

I wasn't saying that you don't. It's a tactic; remind someone why they should respect you, lest they rise up against you. Obviously that isn't the case here, but I can see the logic pattern here.

[ She shakes her head. ]

A large Fire-type, huh? Different from the one on the plains, I take it? What sort of city were you in?

Yes, different from that one. Like I said, it looked like a Tyranitum. Tall, bipedal, with a tail.

And...honestly? I couldn't see too much. Most of the city was on fire, or crumbling. It was bad...

I see.

[ She begins to take a few notes. ]

Do you recall who was with you?

Yes. My friend, Mitsuru Kirijo, a boy named Lucas, a young man named Eiji, and a guy named Ezreal?

There may have been another, but...I'm not sure.

[ She looks surprised. ]

Ezreal was with you?

[ Then she knows a bit more about that situation. Her expression turns a bit grave. ]

From what he's told me, you all went through Hell. I'm so sorry.

He was.

[Assuming then, that he's important to this girl.]

And...I guess you could say that. I definitely wouldn't call it anything else. Frankly, it's hard to know what to make of that, because there was just...nothing we could do for those people.
