[some people may have already seen the big purple electric ball hovering around the village, randomly changing back into her usual self at the least opportune times. Here it is again, near the center. It could be said to be moping]

When stuff like that happens, someone's gotta be at fault.

[lezareno_prez]

The word 'accident' would not exist if everything that happened was someone's fault.

[corrinesbell]

I'm not saying everything...just...

[lezareno_prez]

You want it to be your fault so you do not feel that it was a random act-- because that way, you have someone you can blame for it. Am I correct?

[corrinesbell]

I want to be over it.

...I just...if it's not my fault then why...

[lezareno_prez]

Because, as much as we would like to wish that it were, the world is not fair. We may try our best, but nothing we do can change that part of life. All we can do is pick ourselves up and keep moving forwards. It was not until I met Lloyd that I came to truly realize this.

[isn't usually like this. But there's some old trauma leaking in here, after being in Volt's form for so long]

But why did the village keep on blaming me if that's true? ...I have to take responsibility for what I did.

[lezareno_prez]

They were doing the same thing you are, Sheena... searching for someone to blame.

[corrinesbell]

I don't think I can make myself believe it wasn't my fault. ...I wasn't strong enough either time.

[lezareno_prez]

Strength is not everything... in fact, sometimes being too strong can be a weakness.

[corrinesbell]

I don't know why I'm...I haven't felt like this about it in a long time.

This experiment was clearly designed to dredge up memories that we would rather forget.
