MIS:80: Sketchy

Synopsis

Theo and Belial share some concerns regarding Chiaki's "amnesia". They both feel she may be hiding something. Nagisa attempts to reassure them.

Author Notes

While Nagisa may be very unsubtly crushing on Chiaki, and everyone seems to like her enough as a person, some of these kids still have questions about her.

Theo's remark about Chiaki's amnesia not lining up with the very specific memories she has, for example, came up just a few pages ago. And Belial's concern about Chiaki being unable to identify the present age the world is in came up back in Chapter 1. It's worth noting that neither one is crying out against our heroine or saying she's up to no good or anything like that. There's some concern and suspicion, but they still seem to like their new friend based on their limited interactions.

Nagisa - who's spent the most time with her and knows Chiaki's reasons for being "sketchy" - unfortunately can't reveal anything either, instead deflecting with a "don't worry about it."

Chiaki seems to be pretty bad at keeping secrets (and hasn't even been able to keep her story straight), and Nagisa doesn't seem to be doing much better. How much longer do you think it'll be before the truth comes out?

Nagisa Tadashii Labrie:

You can't tell her!

Belial:

Don't worry; I won't have to. Blushing like that, you're gonna tell her without meaning to before long.

Belial:

Anyway, here. You can carry plates.

Nagisa Tadashii Labrie:

I...

Theodor Elton Ainsworth:

What is it about her, Nagisa? I haven't really talked to her much yet. She seems nice, but her amnesia story is really bothering me.

Theodor Elton Ainsworth:

I mean, she says she doesn't remember anything. Up to and including where she's from or her own alignment.

Theodor Elton Ainsworth:

But then she's all, "I know how to cook because of my mom who works at a local restaurant." I hate to say it, but it sounds a little sketchy to me.

Belial:

I get you. When we were giving her that tour yesterday, she said she didn't even know what the Age of Lilim was. But it's not that I don't trust her. I'm more worried than anything.

Belial:

I don't know much about memory loss, but with what she's forgotten, it’s almost like she's either under a curse, or just has something she's afraid to bring up.

Belial:

Maybe that’s just my own messed up past talking, though.

Belial:

...Well?

Nagisa Tadashii Labrie:

Well what?

Belial:

You've talked to her the most.

Nagisa Tadashii Labrie:

There's a lot I don't know too.

Nagisa Tadashii Labrie:

But you don't have to worry about Chiaki. I promise.
