[Have you ever seen someone call up the vine, only to look so indecisive about actually bothering? You may right now, as Alice Margatroid is just tossing around the idea of 'is this worth the effort and what it may bring'. In the end, after... being reassured by her dolls she goes with it.]

Right, now then...

Greetings. From what I know, a few weeks ago, there was another bout of people being stuck together and being unable to separate, although with no visual culprit. While I do not know how many people were caught in this, I can only assume a number of you were.

I would like to know something about this time. Namely, what exactly was the cause for your release? Unlike previous cases, this may not obvious, so I would at the very least, like to know what you may have learned from it.

Ah, but how exactly can you prepare, when you don't exactly know what is to come?

[cleaningstop]

You can have a general idea?

[shanghaiworld]

But how can you have a general idea when it's unknown?

1/2

[cleaningstop]

...

2/2

[cleaningstop]

Er, well, that is...

What I meant to say was...

[see what you did? you broke her.]

[shanghaiworld]

... Yes?

[cleaningstop]

I'm... not sure.

[Defeated once more.]

[shanghaiworld]

... You okay?

[cleaningstop]

Huh? Oh, yes, I'm fine. Don't you worry about me, Alice!

[shanghaiworld]

Well, I wouldn't be the best of hosts if I completely ignored you...

[cleaningstop]

And I'm glad it hasn't come to that.

[shanghaiworld]

Soon, you will be invisible to me...

[cleaningstop]

What?! I don't want that to happen!

[shanghaiworld]

No, Meiling, you're fading, soon I will even forget about you.

[cleaningstop]

I don't want to be forgotten.

[being called china is bad enough.]

[shanghaiworld]

[At least Alice calls you by name?]

Then, you must do something that people will remember you by!

[cleaningstop]

[Yes that's nice, please keep doing that.]

But I already-

Wait, that was a dream...

[shanghaiworld]

... Huh?

[cleaningstop]

N-Nothing, don't mind me! It wasn't anything important, really.

[shanghaiworld]

Are you feeling okay?

[cleaningstop]

Yes, just fine... Don't worry about me, Alice.

[shanghaiworld]

... Okay.
