That is because I am your friend, Sumina Heartleaf. Though you do not remember me...
[ And that does make her uneasy. Sumina... wouldn't forget her too, right? No, even considering that for a moment is too much to bear. She'll return to normal once they're out of here — Giselle has to believe that. Still,it doesn't keep the bit of sorrow out of her voice, despite her smile.
A while back, she would've never been able to say something like that openly. She might've said acquaintance or colleague. But it's undeniable now, right? They're friends. Sumina brought her laugh back, and her tears back. Even back in this dismal place....
She won't let that connection go. She won't recede back into the void. It's actually nice — she hasn't felt like her stubborn self, always defying the house's mire while walking its halls in quite some time. ]
There is a riddle we must solve to secure our escape — we must first find something to take from the house. A "piece of the past," if you will.
[ Confidently, she begins leading them both out of the room with the ghostly fireplace, out into one of the upstairs hallways. Luckily, Giselle's memory remains in tact, so she has an idea of how they can get out of here — perhaps reminding Sumina of it might draw out some memories of her own, if she's visited anyone else's past thus far. ]
