It was no wonder now that she had learned what she had about herself, that a distortion took her from this point in time and whisked her off to that far away place, almost erasing who she was from this point only to bring her back with nothing more than a name, that Yuina would be seeking them out. She was working closely with
Tempest Quinn now, trying to learn about their energy signatures to learn more about them, and had also allied with
howard slayte on the matter knowing that it would lead to being able to learn more and maintain more about Hisui than any other historians could.[break]
But most importantly, above wanting to accurately portray Hisuian history, above wanting to understand the science of distortions, above wanting to track and predict them to be able to alert the public of them like a storm system... Yuina's driving force was seeking the answer to just one question...[break][break]
Why?[break][break]
Why was she lost to time, why did she lose her memories? Why was she unable to remember anything about her life before being given her name Yuina Higashi? And why did it feel like it was on purpose...?[break]
Surely whatever powers were out there weren't sitting there and making decisions about individuals the way they existed in the world, but she just couldn't help but wonder and pine for those answers, to know if it was some cruelty? Was it some malicious act by an immense power that she would never know?[break][break]
Or was it just some sick twist of fate and it was all an accident, and she was destined to just live this hollow life and assume with nothing else that it was her own fault?[break][break]
As soon as the first reports came in of another distortion breaking out, Yuina knew she couldn't miss the chance. However, learning the location of the distortion came as a bit of a surprise, around Fortree City, just like the two in the swamps... That seemed odd, or perhaps not at all, there didn't ever seem to be a pattern in which these rips in time occured, something as chaotic as that couldn't possibly have designated locations to occur.[break]
With little delay and knowing that she couldn't spare any time given the unstable nature of the distortions, Yuina wasted no time in making her way to the north eastern portion of the region, and in her sights she could see the broken sky, the fizzling, crackling energy... And coming closer still she could hear it, and feel her hair standing on end, until she stood with Daikenki beside her, staring at the wall between her and those broken threads of time-space...[break][break]
For that moment, Yuina did hesitate, knowing now what distortions were truly capable of. Pokemon appeared from them, items became lost in time, and humans could too, knowing what happened to the Hisuians that were attacked by the Megalopolans... The internal fear of getting lost in time all over again was there, she couldn't ignore it... But she couldn't ignore the burning question either... If she was lost all over again, she hoped that her friends in this life would look for her...[break][break]
Stepping in through the shredded fabrics of space-time, Yuina was now overtly familiar with the over all feeling of being thrust into this liminal space... Her ears were clogged, her head felt heavy, her eyes were glazing over, unfocussed... But she didn't fight any of this, it was one of the only things that she was truly familiar with, so ingrained in her memory now, she almost welcomed it...[break]
The air shook and trembled around her, every piece of grass was trying to decide which side of space-time it was supposed to settle on, and as she stood next to Daikenki, looking up into the void of it all, Yuina just tried to focus... She was reaching out for anything, memories, images, sounds...
That voice that had called out to her before.... Called the name that didn't belong to her... But nothing came, until...[break][break]
Not just one voice, but multiple voices, or it could only be one voice broken and distorted by the ripping fabrics of reality...[break][break]
'Anomaly... Anomaly... Anomaly...[break][break]
There was nothing out there through the static and crackling energy that Yuina could see, she couldn't determine if it was right beside her ear or farther away than she could ever fathom, but it was there... Something... Something was out there...[break][break]
"Please! Who are you! I won't stop seeking you out... Just tell me who you are!"
