“I wish you more luck than I had." A hint of frustration leaked into her voice there only to be made a bit more intense as she noticed it. It seemed the longer she spent here the more her ice queen exterior thawed out and normal emotions slipped into her every day speech. What an awful thing. "I have wondered about that. Is that things reappear or is it something else?" She stroked her chin thoughtfully before continuing on. "Perhaps these places never truly existed. We only have the locals word on that particular subject to go by. It is entirely possible that they merely think these things existed before. Some have postulated that they are as connected to this world as the buildings and landscapes that appear. If that is the case, then it might make sense for their memories to be influenced by the changes as well. Perhaps when something new appears they are also given false memories of it's existence." Though the problem with that theory was the ever present question of why. What purpose would that serve? Unless this entire world was only some sort of experiment to whomever was truly in control.
How amusing it was to consider that as she gave her explanation for Tartarus. There would be something painfully ironic if this world held any such similarities to the experiments the Kirijo group had done. "In a way, yes." She looked down, clearly a bit ashamed to speak more, but she had come far enough to simply resign herself to the full truth. "After his discoveries my grandfather and his team eventually reached the conclusion that helping to bring about the Fall was the only logical solution. Death would be a release for us all. One scientist disagreed and made an attempt to stop them. His attempt caused the explosion and it was a chain reaction after that." She could hardly blame him for his actions though. After all he had managed to prevent the Fall, at least for a time. The real villains of the story were her own family and there was no way around that.
"I see. I suppose that is an unfortunate inevitability of those who dare to investigate things so much greater than themselves." Would people ever stop venturing into such territory? No. Even now there was a part of her that was interested in learning more about the other world and all that came with it. Perhaps that was just the destiny of human curiosity.
"Yes. We...were unfortunately mislead. That..." she swallowed. "It was quite disastrous." And even if they had prevented the Fall it had been at quite an extreme cost.
