Notes Matter

Emily

Good morning, Captain.

Emily

I've prepared today's training ahead of time.

Emily

I set up the dummies as instructed and provided the training plan to Ms. Claire.

Emily

We can start training right away.

Emily...?

Emily

Yes, Captain?

Emily

...Captain?

Emily

Have I done something wrong?

Emily

If there's something that needs to be fixed, please tell me.

...Emily, there's something I want to ask.

Emily

Yes, Captain.

When was our last combat again?

Emily

Our last combat...?

Emily

Let's see. The most recent one was the hunt quest to deal with the Raiders, so...

Emily

That was ten days ago.

...What did we eat for lunch yesterday?

Emily

For yesterday's lunch...

Emily

Ham and cheese sandwiches with orange juice.

Why was Claire upset last Friday?

Emily

Last Friday, let me think...

Emily

Oh, right. Ms. Scarlet tried stitching dragons onto the curtains and ended up tearing one. That made Ms. Claire quite upset.

Emily

I assisted with the repairs, as I recall.

Unbelievable!

Emily... can actually remember everything?!

Emily

...?

Emily

Ngh...! Why are you pinching my cheeks all of a sudden?!

Are you really Emily?

Emily

Huh? What are you talking about?

Emily

Ow! Why are you pulling my hair?!

So it's definitely not a wig...

This reminds me... I've heard about this before.

They say when someone suddenly acts different, it's a bad omen... like they're going to die!

Don't die on me, Emily!

Emily

Die? Where is this coming from...?

Emily

Captain, please calm down.

Emily

Please let go of me...! You're pulling my clothes out of shape!

Emily

So basically...

Emily

You're surprised I still remember things even without recent combat, aren't you?

Emily

I can understand why you'd think that.

So... what's going on?

Emily

I've been keeping notes.

Emily

Everything. From the important matters to the trivial ones.

Emily

I go over them whenever I can, trying to manage my forgetfulness as best I'm able.

Emily

Of course, I'm not saying I intend to stop fighting.

Emily

Because I trust you, I'm not afraid of turning into a monster anymore.

Emily

Since I know what triggers my memory issues, I just need to keep it from getting worse.

Emily

Still, I know I can't rely on you forever.

Emily

It's only right that I make an effort as well.

Emily

Please consider this part of that effort.

...I'm proud of you.

Emily

I appreciate it.

Emily

And I'll be counting on you.

Emily

Guide me so I don't misuse what I'm capable of.

Emily

Stay by my side and support me.

You can trust me on that.

Emily

Although...

Emily

Hmm...

Emily

I do feel like I'm forgetting something...

Scarlet

Emily!

Scarlet

Was it you?! Did you leave the washer running all night and ruined my masterpiece?!

Scarlet

I told you not to touch the basket in my workshop!

Bell

Emily. Care to explain what happened?

Bell

I told you not to use regular detergent on Stone No. 27!

Emily

...My apologies.

Emily

I must have forgotten.

Emily

I forgot to make a note of it.

Everyone

What's the point of keeping notes if you forget to write it down?!

Looks like she's still got a long way to go...
