... Showering still hurts.

I wonder if I should stay with this Curran and Pikeru deck...

Though... are cities supposed to fly.

And I got a call from some people who are my... parents?

Moeko wonders if she should change her appearance too.

... It hurts because water hurts.

Maybe.

... Spirits?

I am the original Noriko. No loopholes.

Yes. And my skin feels too shiny.

...even to drink?

Yes, duel spirits.

...anyway, are you interested in meeting your parents?

Hmm... maybe you need to put on some powder? ...I suppose you wouldn't have any experience with make-up, would you?

... On the lips, yes. Otherwise, no.

... I think I should.

What's Make up?

...odd. Seems like it's something regarding your skin. It might be worth taking a sample to test.

So you want to?

Something you wear on your skin to even out, enhance, and otherwise improve the appearance of skin. Usually worn on the face... for females, at least.

...?

I think so?

... That seems useless.

A sample of your skin, so we can figure out why water hurts. ...though, on that note, do juices and other mixtures hurt as well?

Well, enjoy then. But... expect that they'll be surprised.

...arguable, but, again, a bit of powder would make your skin less shiny.

... Do what hurt?

... Why is my skin shiny?

...I'll put that down as 'I don't know'.

I don't know... it could be related to why water hurts, though.

... You don't know alot.

Your skin condition is very unusual, Moeko. It's not something your average person would know.

...you might go to a skin doctor, though. They'd probably be able to diagnose what you have... assuming it's not something supernatural.

... I don't know what a skin doctor is.

Dermatologist. They'll probably scrape off a bit of your skin and test it to figure out what the problem is.

That, or they'll recognize the symptom, and just tell you what to do. ...probably involving pills of some sort. Or maybe a cream.

... I don't want to go to them.

... They aren't going to leave a scar anywhere, Moeko. And they probably won't scrape anywhere you'd notice it anyway.

... No interest.

But they might be able to make water not hurt.

Which is a good thing, because sometimes it rains. A lot.

That's water from the sky, in case you're unaware.

... I don't trust them.

...would you trust me to do it?

No.

...I had a feeling.

You really should get that looked at, Moeko. Being clean helps you keep from getting sick... which helps keep you from dying.

... I don't believe you.

...Mmm...

Not sure if I can help you then...

...though, would something make it easier for you to believe me?

... Tell me why that girl went crazy and why she matters to me.

...which girl?

... The one who seems to matter.

...you'll need to narrow it down for me, Moeko. I'm not sure who you mean exactly.

... The one who went crazy.

...well, we have a number of those recently... are you talking about the other Noriko? Shiroko? Suzume? Those are just a few off the top of my head.

... The one with the long black beautiful hair.

...I'm guessing this is recent, and you mean Shiroko then.

The exact cause of her insanity is up for debate. We have several possible causes, from trauma due to her recent kidnapping and torture, to a virus which seems to unhinge people... then there's long standing traumas.

It seems her insanity is centered around paranoia regarding duel spirits... like those from Endymion, the floating city.

As for why exactly you'd care... I don't know. I didn't know that you knew her, though there is the possibility that you have empathy for her due to residual memories from ... er... the other Noriko.

... So she's my friend?

Hmm... Well, you were friends. I'm not sure how friendly she'll be at the moment, but it's possible you're still friends.

... I see. Thank you, Miss.

You're welcome.

~~You should still see a dermatologist.~~

Thank you, Miss.
