Subject: Paopu Fruit

hey, did you guys notice the huge fruit tree that showed up near the new ocean? it's got big giant yellow star-shaped fruits growing from it that are called paopu fruit. they taste like a pineapple mixed with a pear. sounds pretty tasty, right?

there's also a legend back home about these fruits. i thought you might wanna know.

"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what."

i've always liked that legend a lot. i don't know if it's true for sure but it's nice to think that if you share one with someone really special to you that you can always be a part of each other's lives. if that doesn't sound like love, i don't know what is. it might be nice to try it with someone sometime, huh? go for it!

yeah?

[judicialassistant]

If I had shared one with my father, do you think he could have stayed in Reverein with me forever?

[oathkeeper]

[Oh... Mister Mikotoba is gone?? Oh, Susato...]

i don't know, susato. i'd like to think if you shared one with him that would mean you would see him again someday soon no matter what this world has in store for us. but you know what? i think that's true even without the paopu fruit.

[ There's no response for a while. Perhaps Susato has even shut her book, ashamed of what she wrote, but eventually, she has to check.

...... ]

Sorry. I hope you're right.

[judicialassistant]

He really liked you, Sora.

[oathkeeper]

[There's nothing wrong with missing someone. Sora knows how that feels every day.]

i really liked him too! he was really nice and the greenhouse is still awesome when i stop by.

i wish i got to learn more about him, though! what's he like as a dad? pretty cool, i bet?

[Sometimes it helps Sora to talk about people he misses. He wonders if it'll help her.]

[judicialassistant]

[ She wonders, too. She'd never really talked about it much, even after she initially woke up that day. Not until now. ]

He is kind, and very wise. Someone with a large heart, and a knack for finding adventure. I suppose it is no surprise that he has left to find another one...

Though since he is likely heading back to our homeland, perhaps it is more accurate to say that Songerein has been his adventure.

[oathkeeper]

now i know exactly where you get all that from. heh.

he's really smart too! i remember he was telling me all about the science behind finding criminals! it was so cool.

i'm glad he got the chance to see this world.

[judicialassistant]

I'm glad too. He studied under the best minds of our time, but we have both learned so much here. Advancements - technology that we never would have even thought possible. Our very future!

I hope he is able to remember... at least some of it, perhaps. [ Is that too much to ask? ]

[oathkeeper]

he really made a huge difference! i bet you're really proud, susato!!

i know we can't be sure if we'll remember things if we leave this world but i think we do. i've been to another world before and i remember everything from it so there's a good chance he will too, you know?

[He thinks it's good to hope.]

[judicialassistant]

[ If only he could see the way she's smiling. She is definitely proud, for what that's worth now. ]

That's right. Where you met Ferran, correct? You're well-traveled, Sora. I am a little jealous.

[oathkeeper]

hahha yup! where i met ferran!

i've been to a lot of other worlds. but this one is probably the best one yet. if you ever want some more crazy stories i'd be happy to share

🎀 she'll bother him again Soon <3

[judicialassistant]

[ He says that about all the worlds, doesn't he? Well, maybe not, but he seems like the type. There might have been a little smiley face drawn.

When the time comes, hopefully he won't mind if Susato takes notes. ]

I would be happy to take you up on that.
