[On this mild first afternoon of November, the feed opens to a porch, where a Clefairy, who can usually be seen wearing a rose ear clip but today is wearing a whole bouquet of roses arranged in a flower crown, is seated on a table, eating dango to her heart's content.

There are multiple empty boxes next to her, and more on the other side that haven't been touched. Where does she put it all, the world may never know. She'll probably be here a while, though.

From behind the camera, though, Ryner starts talking.]

...You know, since it's been seven years today and all, I should probably have some kind of inspirational speech prepared about how far we've come or something. But I dunno, I'm not really any good at that stuff. So I don't really have one, sorry.

I guess what I will say, though, is, ahh... I don't regret it, being here. And if a even a useless guy like me can do enough to make Rose happy, and the others...

[The Clefairy, finishing her latest stick of dango, blinks at the camera before sweetly giving it the most adorable smile she can muster.]

Even if it all changes tomorrow, if I can do this much right now... Maybe that's enough. You know?

...Ahh, sorry, I'm probably not making much sense, huh. I'm way behind on sleep... But I guess what I'm saying is, I don't know what tomorrow will bring, and if you told me I could choose where I'd be tomorrow, I don't know what I'd decide...

...But I'm glad I'm here today.

Sorry to hear that. I'm guessing you're still tired from those nightmares I've been hearing about.

[Cecil's not sure what's most heartwarming: that not-speech, or that smile.]

Congratulations to you both. Seven years in this world is no small feat, and the bond born from them certainly shines through, with or without a speech.

Yeah. I'm okay, though. I'm used to nightmares. It's the lack of rest that gets to me.

["Fairy~" Well, Rose knows that her dear partner likes sleeping too much, too. But she's been entreated enough for the moment, so.]

Ahh, thanks. Honestly it's mostly down to luck, really, but...

Are you sure? You don't have to go all out just because of them. I did remember one time that I have a nightmare. I got in trouble for sleeping in the next day, though.

Luck, fate, a careful plan by some unknown legendary... Whichever it is, Rose does not seem to mind the results.

Unfortunately, it's not really up to me whether I get to sleep in or not.

That's true.

["Fairy~" She does not seem to mind at all, no.]

Well, why do you have your Pokemon use some kind of move to help you sleep?

Ahh, no, see... She's the one who won't let me.

["Clef!" Rose has such an angelic expression.]

[Cue stare of confusion from the spy kid.]

Excuse me? What do you mean?

Still, should I wish you another seven years? Or should I hope you can find a way home with your whole team instead?

If Rose wants me awake, she'll Pound me until I wake up. And she doesn't really like when I sleep in too long.

[...Well, she's not denying it.]

Ahh, I don't really know what I'd prefer, really...? If I could find a way to go back and forth at will, that'd be great, though... Too much of a miracle, probably, but...

It would take... I'd say the power of a god, but neither Cosmos nor Chaos could have managed it. If this world has a crystal, perhaps...

Well I mean, if magic wasn't sealed in this world...

...ahh, though, that's probably a good thing that it is, let that power in here and worse things will follow...

...That could be messy. I'd not mind regaining the ability to heal my team myself and to teleport out of caves, certainly, but if someone like Ultimecia or Kefka were to find themselves here...

If they're anything like the Goddesses? Yeah, that'd be bad. Not something I'd wish on anywhere, let alone a world as relatively peaceful as this one.

So in other words, you're a sleepyhead, right?

[Tony, don't be rude. He just recovered from the nightmares.]

Everyone always thinks that's a bad thing.

[...so basically yes.]

I've had better luck with goddesses than with gods, but I have no trouble believing that yours might not nearly be so pleasant.

Where I'm from, they're basically all a huge pain in the ass. They want Sion and me dead pretty much just because we exist. And everywhere they mess with the world of humans, it always makes things worse.

Seven years??

That's a long time to be away from home...but time stops back home for all of us, right?

Well, at least you're not affected by that nightmare plague anymore.

I'm just lucky it somehow make me immune, though.

You're better off. I'm used to nightmares, but I wouldn't wish mine on anybody.
