It’s Dextera.

I hope everyone has recovered from the town’s most recent mystery. I had intended to make this post earlier, but I think all of us were distracted. It’s confusing, and I’m sorry if it’s hard to read as well.

My brother - Sinistra, #610B0B - and I went into the forest to try to recover the rest of the items I’d found with Guren. We were able to get the pocketwatch, but it’s broken. If anyone knows how to fix it, I would appreciate your instructions.

It does something as it is, though. It’s strange. When I hold it, it feels like nothing exists. It feels like none of us exist. It’s scary. I don’t know how else to describe it. The town feels like an illusion, and all of us even less than that. Those of you that have just arrived still feel “real,” but the people I’ve known for a long time are barely here. I'm barely here.

There are some other people who don’t feel as if they exist at all. We haven’t figured out that criteria yet. I don’t know why or how it’s like this. I’m sorry. I don’t know if the watch works for anyone but my brother and I, but I don’t want anyone else to touch it. I don’t think it’s a good idea. I’m sorry, again, but my brother or I will answer any questions you have.

Dextera, someone will have to touch the watch to fix it.
Any other way is too inconvenient.

[ Are you mcfucking kidding me right now!? An item like that! An item like that is definitely going to cause more than one or two or three or four issues!! I can't fucking believe this shit! This shit right here is goddamn awful!

Excuse me!! Don't do that to people! The existential crisis of it all is too much for even my head to fully wrap around! Who the fuck thought that was okay?!

And also, Dextera and Sinistra!? Isn't that my disciple! It's my disciple!! Just when I thought my bad luck and bad karma couldn't affect anyone -- here it is, affecting my disciple by finding some dog-shit item that makes people feel nervous and strange and fuck you!! Who allowed that?! I can't believe this! If there's going to be an object like that, just fucking obliterate it on sight! Holy shit! ]

This is very troubling to read. I doubt any of us would like to believe that we don't exist anymore.

[ Ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... At least, she wouldn't want others to vanish. ]

A month ago when the ghosts were walking among us in this town, one granted me a vision: it was this town as we know it, with all the physical changes that we made. But there was no color, and none of us were here. I didn't understand this dream at the time, but with what you're writing here, I can't help but wonder if it's somehow linked.

Is it Guren's watch originally? Did he receive it from a quest from Chroma?

[Oh hey, he recognizes this name...]

whatever this is, it sounds like something you would do best to avoid. are you feeling alright? does it affect you only when you touch it?

you know shiho will want to take a look at it.

being the apprentice of a cursed pocketwatch specialist and all.

[Dex already knows she's a psychometer but this is public and all.]

[expulsions]

when you say it feels like people don't exist, do you mean like being a ghost or just a figment of someone's imagination?
being a part of someone else's story would be weirdly fitting for this place

Dextera,

Please do not touch the Watch again for your own safety's sake, unless there is someone with you, or several someones, to supervise you.

[ with that out of the way... ]

You have observed something most curious. I admit that your Words make me nervous, or rather the implications of the Words, that the longer we stay here the lesser we become, particularly as the first year draws nearer to a close. To take an optimistic tack, perhaps we are being pulled back towards our homes and so our presence here wanes?
