Twelfth Flake [video]

I looked at the date today, and I thought it would be fitting to bring up something I've been wondering for a while.

[It's been a while since Elsa got contemplative over the network. Thankfully, Elsa doesn't look all that upset or nervous, so it's nothing serious!]

Years pass here, and we all age. This is my second birthday in Johto; according to the calendar, I should be twenty-three today.

But that's only compared to how time passes here. What about back home? If we return home after spending years here, do we return as we were when we were first brought here? Or do we just... return to our land older, as we are now? I can't imagine how that might change things in our worlds, even if we have no memories of this place when we go home.

[... Okay yeah it did get kind of deep.]

It's curious, isn't it? Especially when one's taken from a date that doesn't match the date here when they first arrive.

Don't think we change at all, weird as that probably is.

[A shrug.]

But hey, happy birthday.

[Hm...]

It's a little depressing, don't you think? There are so many ways that many of can change, and for all that to just be... undone?

[GEEZ SHE HADN'T REALLY MEANT TO GET THIS DEEP, WHOOPS...]

B-But thank you!

I try not to think about it. But I think it'd be better to have the whole thing undone than go back remembering everything you're losin' out on by being at home.

[LANCER...]

...Man, that got depressin' fast.

[Elsa lets out a halfhearted, shaky laugh at that.]

I feel like I should apologize for that, for bringing it up in the first place...
