"It's like..."  Louise thinks.  It's hard to explain. "In my world, when two people have the same name, sometimes they use a 'nickname' for clarification.  For example, if someone had good eyesight they would be nicknamed 'hawk eye', if someone was particularly good at cards, they would be called 'ace'.  I suppose it would be like a title."  Louise shrugs. "I was just wondering."

Holy: Why would you need clarification between two people?
Holy: Everyone is unique.

Holy makes a very self-assured face as she says this.

"I think mostly humans do it for fun.  People like making up cool names for each other in our culture."

Holy appears somewhat confused.

Holy: But... your name?

Sam: Ah, um, we don't pick our own names.
Sam: Our parents do, usually.
Sam: So a nickname lets you be who you want to be.

Holy: Oh.
Holy: Do you want me to call you something else?

She appears to be directing this to Louise.

"Only if you want to." Louise smiles at Holy.

Holy: I will continue to call you by it.

"Okay."  Louise turns.  "Sam.  I may be looking too far into things, but it's hard for me not to after the situation I've found myself in.  You said 'we don't pick our own names.'  I suppose this could be true of a number of places, but... are you from the same world as I am?"

Sam: Um, maybe?
Sam: I mean, you look like, you know, a human, so, I guess?
Sam: I mean, I don't know, I could come from, like, a parallel world or something?
Sam: Or, I don't know, I'm not really good with this sort of thing.

"I'm not very good at all of this stuff either.  How did you rewind time back there?  Where does your power come from?  It's really cool."

Sam: Ah, um...

Sam pulls a pocket watch out of her pocket.  It doesn't appear to be working.  It does appear to be a fragment.

Sam: This, basically.  Let me wind it again...

She starts winding it.  Eventually, it starts ticking.

"Oh cool!  Was that the fragment that you had in yourself?  Or did you find it?  If it came from within you, time must have been very important to you.  Or maybe the watch..."

Sam blushes a bit.

Sam: The watch...
Sam: Its... not really a story I want to tell...

Sam: Haaaaaa, that's a different story all together...
Sam: We basically ran into each other at a senate meeting.
Sam: We were the only juniors, so we kinda' got stuck together.
Sam: And, well, she didn't really let go.

Sam chuckles.  You mean the chaos emeralds?

Sam: We've been together since.

Sam: Nah, it was a college club thing.
Sam: The historical society couldn't have normal meetings or anything.

"to be quite honest, that sounds about right for any college club.  I was going to join the student council, once upon a time.  That plan never quite panned out though..."  Louise thinks back for a moment and then returns to the present.  "Were you in college when you were pulled into the void?"  Louise is trying to make some sort of connection with the other girl.  Friends in this realm were very few.

Sam: Nah, I graduated a couple of years ago.
Sam: I'm a librarian.  Or I was, I guess.
