## Summary

Mizuki attempts to get the other Guardians to remember.

## Plot

Mizuki is in Yumeka's memory. She goes up to her and tries to explain what happened, but Yumeka interrupts her, saying that she already knows what happened. Yumeka remembers because she's in charge of dreams -- but she can't stop this, unfortunately. Her power is locked.

Mizuki and Yumeka are now in Axel and Alex's memory. Mizuki approaches them. Axel appears to be hurt, but Mizuki ignores that. Mizuki states that she's a Guardian, but the two don't know if they should believe her. She calls them by name; however, Alex and Axel don't know their names, so they're confused. Yumeka sings a cringey song to get them to remember. While they do remember, they remember past Yumeka, and they're angry at her. She doesn't understand why that didn't work. Axel and Alex get suspicious of Yumeka, but Mizuki tries to defend her. Accidentally, Alex says something that makes him remember Mizuki.

They are transported to Miyu's memory. Mizuki approaches Miyu, but she seems to want to be alone. Mizuki doesn't understand what's going on. She tries to get Miyu to remember that they're friends. It's no use, so Mizuki mentions Ayaka. Miyu immediately remembers her friend, and they leave her memory.

They are in Ayaka's memory. Mizuki explains what's going on, and asks Miyu if she can make her remember. Miyu says that she can try. Miyu goes up to her best friend, and introduces herself. Miyu explains what's going on to Ayaka -- even mentioning the Guardians. While she's explaining, she mentions the portal. The portal makes Ayaka remember Miyu.

The group now realizes that they're in the past; they must be here for Yuki. They notice that other people started to appear, all of a sudden. They believe this is going to take longer than intended.

**-Mizuki, about Yami**

*"I’m still in charge of dreams – and this is sorta dream-like."*

**-Yumeka**

*"Woah! That blinded me. If only I had my power. I would have blinded the light right back!"*

**-Mizuki**

*"Who are you?! Are-- Are you one of them? P- Please, don’t take me back! I did nothing wrong!"*

**-Axel**

*"Is that…our real names? No! You're...You're fooling around!"*

**-Alex**

*"Oh my portal."*

**-Yumeka**

*"They only forgave me because I brought you to them! Thanks to you, I got my room back. Only after a few days, though."*

**-Yumeka, to Mizuki**

*"I trust you with this, Yume!"*

**-Mizuki**

*"Leave me alone, alright? I know why they sent you here! I know what you have to say! I’m tired, okay? I don’t want to hear what they– or you’ve got to say! I’m so tired…"*

**-Miyu, to Mizuki**

*"The portal! I remember that I sensed some bad energy, and we were transported to the future, and– I went with you, Miyu."*

**-Ayaka**

*"Ohhh! I hope you like barbecue because you just got ROASTED!"*

**-Yumeka, to Axel**

*"I was so glad Kaito wasn’t here and you decide to act like them."*

## Trivia

* We find out that the future is situated in the year 2418.
* The memories are still not entirely faithful -- as Kaito does not appear in Axel and Alex's memory. However, that could also suggest how Kaito's key memory wasn't that one.
* The "cringey seventeen year old self" line reflects how Sky wrote that song originally when she was younger. And finds it cringey.
* The reason everyone remembered is because they remember their FUTURE selfs. When Miyu remembers Ayaka, or Ayaka remembers Miyu, they are thinking of future Ayaka/Miyu.
* Most of those memories can be seen in season 2.
* The "yes" being clicked after the "challenge accepted" text appears suggests how they are going to help more Guardians remember.
* Yumeka's song is about Yami.
