===You're here, (Trailblazer).===
;(Approach Black Swan)
:Black Swan: Drifting memory fragments...
;(Initial interaction)
:Black Swan: You're here, (Trailblazer).
:Black Swan: I saw some memory fragments drifting outside the window, and I intend to salvage them.
: But... the Express windows are sealed tight.
::Black Swan: How cute.
::Black Swan: By "salvage," I mean to slowly get close to those memories, and then exert my Memokeeper power to retrieve them.
: Huh? I can't see them. Where are they?
::Black Swan: These memory fragments are as fine as dust, and can't form memory bubbles. They're hard to see with the naked eye — even most Memokeepers can't sense them.
:Black Swan: There are too many discarded things in the sea of stars. Our predecessors' trodden paths and forgotten pasts should have left behind vivid marks across the universe.
:Black Swan: I once felt regret for those that were lost without a trace, but fortunately, we were later able to sense, discover, and preserve them.
:Black Swan: I wonder what stories have been left behind in the memory fragments that we found today?
: I love listening to stories!
: Memory fragments! Synthesize!
:Black Swan: Settle down, (Trailblazer). Allow me to manifest the memories from these fragments, and I'll share them with you.

===That lively young lady...===
;(Approach Black Swan)
:Black Swan: The Memokeeper on the Express...
;(Initial interaction)
:Black Swan: That lively young lady told me some things about you...
: Who? March?
:Black Swan: Looks like you've forgotten — there is a Memokeeper girl in front of the Express' shattered mirror.
:Black Swan: She told me that you salvaged the Forgotten Hall's memories with great skill, that you are a rare talent.
: Did my performance get at least sixty points?
::Black Swan: You're too modest. To that Memokeeper girl... salvaging the memories in the Forgotten Hall was worth much more than that.
: I didn't do anything bad, did I?
::Black Swan: Don't be afraid. To that Memokeeper girl... salvaging the memories in the Forgotten Hall is of great help to the Garden.
:Black Swan: I heard she gave you quite the fright the first time you met. Memokeepers travel the world the same way as memetic entities do, and sometimes they trigger unnecessary associations.
:Black Swan: I remember one time when I found memory fragments scattered among a bed of roses. I showed up when I thought no one was around, and almost scared a man to death who was about to confess his love...
: I was also almost scared to death!
:Black Swan: Hmm... Memokeepers should probably think of a better way to show up.

===(Trailblazer), how about a divination...===
;(Approach Black Swan)
:Black Swan: How about a divination?
;(Initial interaction)
:Black Swan: (Trailblazer), how about a divination to see what your future holds?
: You don't need any memories?
::Black Swan: Of course not. The Memokeepers' divination techniques don't all involve memories.
: My future is as bright as the sun!
::Black Swan: I believe in your potential. It is rare for someone to have such a carefree, optimistic disposition.
: I've been feeling a little down on my luck...
::Black Swan: Foreboding signs can also be superficial. You may have good fortune after riding out the storm.
:Black Swan: Now, from the gold, blue, and rainbow decks of cards, please pick the deck that fits you best.
:Black Swan: Remember, your first instinct is very important.
: The first set, the gold deck.
::Black Swan: I see the guidance of the stars. Their radiance shines in the jet-black night sky, even more dazzling than the moon. The magician raises the trophy high, and on the wooden table is a Golden Badge.
::Black Swan: The path ahead is long... and filled with uncertainty and the unknown. But so long as you forge ahead, you will find direction, and your progress will be swift till you reach the future you desire.
: The second set, the blue deck.
::Black Swan: I see books and archives. The wheel of fortune is spinning, knowledge and experience swirling within. A horn sounds from afar, but the crossroads cause the white horse to hesitate.
::Black Swan: I don't know what choices you will face, but please have faith that knowledge and experience will surely aid you in your judgment. They will help you adeptly arrive at your decision.
: The third set, the rainbow deck.
::Black Swan: I see a shrub full of thorns and a comfortable reclining chair. Birds sing in cages, a chef offers delicious treats, a musician plays a moving piece...
::Black Swan: ...The illusory and imaginary appear to have you shackled. If you do not wish to stay stagnant, you must force yourself to break free from these fantasies and return to reality — this is the only way you can find your own path.
:Black Swan: I hope this divination was of help to you. Of course, the results of this fortune-telling are merely a reference — nothing more than suggestions for now. Do not become trapped in your own thoughts.

===Miss March took me to her room...===
;(Approach Black Swan)
:Black Swan: A cozy room...
;(Initial interaction)
:Black Swan: Miss March took me to her room just now. It was quite cozy. I liked it very much.
:Black Swan: And that photo wall filled with the Express Crew's happy memories — it's obvious that Miss March loves keeping records of her life.
: Photographs equal memories!
::Black Swan: Yes, photographs often record very precious memories.
::Black Swan: During the course of finding memories, a picture is worth a thousand words.
: March just loves life that much.
::Black Swan: Yes, those photos are not just ordinary records of her trips. To Miss March, they are dearly precious memories.
:Black Swan: It's unfortunate — the Six-Phased Ice that once enveloped her carries its own mysteries, and Miss March has amnesia about her own past...
:Black Swan: It is a pity that I can't help her retrieve her lost memories.
: I still have to thank you on her behalf!
:Black Swan: No need. This is merely a Memokeeper's duty.
:Black Swan: I trust that one day, her present experiences will become unique memories.

===(Trailblazer), this guest book...===
;(Approach Black Swan)
:Black Swan: The guest book...
;(Initial interaction)
:Black Swan: (Trailblazer), this guest book... May I have a look?
: Of course. You did write in it.
: Pom-Pom says: Be my guest.
: The guest book! That brings back memories!
:Black Swan: Flipping through this book is akin to personally listening to the guests' stories and their heartfelt wishes... Yes, here it is. My message.
:Black Swan: May I have this page to record and draw?
: Record and draw?
::Black Swan: I only wish to express my blessings for the Express. These are words specially imbued with a blessing of Remembrance — they hail from a distant, ancient planet.
: Would that be a blessing for the Express?
::Black Swan: Impressive, Trailblazer. These are words specially imbued with a blessing of Remembrance — they hail from a distant, ancient planet.
:Black Swan: After some system hours, the words will turn into a common language that everyone can understand.
:Black Swan: At the same time, the blessing of Remembrance will fall upon everyone. Please look forward to this surprise.

===This is a memory fortune pouch...===
;(Approach Black Swan)
:Black Swan: My gift is meager. I hope you don't mind.
;(Initial interaction)
:Black Swan: This is a memory fortune pouch I prepared for the Express Crew. My gift is meager. I hope you don't mind.
: The pouch is glowing!
: What an exquisite gift!
:Black Swan: Apart from the incense that helps you sleep, there's also... something I trust you will like.
: I'm curious! Can I open it now?
::Black Swan: Of course you may, but you'll have to be prepared to fall asleep very quickly.
: Please tell me a little more!
::Black Swan: Gifts must have an element of surprise — just treat it as a part of life!
: I've already guessed it, and I like it!
::Black Swan: Oh? I guess you're pretty clever. But before you open the pouch, you'll have to be prepared to fall asleep very quickly.
:Black Swan: I thank you again for your invitation. Before long, I too must depart... Where is the Express' next stop? The river of memories... where will it flow to next?
