You can barely make out the figure of a green haired girl resting against the pillar. She doesn't appear to have noticed you.

Becca gains a memory for making sure I have a face
Loise gets a memory for being tsun about not getting to name Sara.

"By 'use', do you mean 'use up'? As in, this bow will no longer exist if it is used as a fragment?"
Loise gets a memory for sacrificing the bow.

- are back in the void. Everything seems more or less as you left it, except for -
Sara: Oh, hey, you're back! Are you okay?
???: Oh, hello.
Leaning against the pillar is a tall, somewhat untrustworthy looking man.
(http://i.imgur.com/zVjNkM6.png?1)
Sara: Oh, right! We have a guest!
???: It's a pleasure to meet you. My name's Kusuri.
Somehow even his voice is slightly untrustworthy. Like he has a slightly tarnished silver tongue.

kusuri receives a memory for being a gentleman
After some trouble with some knots in her fate, Louise draws fortuitously (http://cardchan.herokuapp.com/decks/1/events/16)
Kusuri: Umm, follow me.
Kusuri leads you to the pillar, supporting you as you walk. You aren't... sure why you couldn't see the Gate before. But you're fairly sure you'll never be able to un-see it.

Its... you aren't sure. It's totally different from the golden light, though. Its neither comforting nor worrying. It just... is. It is so much that you can barely think. Sitting before it is Sara, staring vacantly ahead. She doesn't seem to react to your presence.
Becca gets a retroactive memory for the poltergeist reference
Louise looks to Sara confusedly, "What was that?"
Louise gets a memory for the "shocked" pun.
I look at Sara. "Wait, you mean...just flat-out heal her?"
Louise smiles earnestly. "No, but thank you."
+1 memory to kusuri for finally ripping that pillow
Louise gets a memory. A French memory.
"Yeah! I mean... Sara said we could use them, so I thought I'd try out the glasses. It's like everything is... different. Like when you put on 3d glasses, the old ones. Have you 'offered' the note on the pillar yet?" Louise turns, against her player's better judgement
, to address Sara as she says this.

You open your eyes to find a distinctly-not-Sara person sitting in your lap, staring directly at you. You having opened your eyes does not appear to have affected this person in any way; the staring has not abated in the slightest.

She accepts the jerky and starts eating it. It appears that, as long as she's eating, she's content to just stare blankly ahead instead of straight at you.

Because I haven't been anywhere near precise enough with these descriptions, I'm going to tell you that the glasses cast everything into this blue-purple light. You know the reference. The gates, the notebook, and Sara haven't been affected by this effect. Becca was, but she had a golden glow. The shack and everything else you've looked at were.
Sara's appearance changed; with the glasses on she looks like a Frankenstein's monster or something. Becca's didn't, but a black and white checkerboard pattern appeared on her stomach, over her clothing.
Holy's appearance hasn't changed, but she doesn't seem to be affected by the glasses' coloring effect.
kusuri gets a second memory, Sara gets a memory for crunchy oatmeal, Becca gets a memory for wendigoatmeal, Holy gets a memory for actually eating my food, Hanako gets a memory for that post
Louise stands outside the kitchen. She looks around. It happened so fast that she's not sure what happened. She looks back into the kitchen.

The figure jumps up, seemingly surprised by your voice. She looks to be a youngish girl with long green hair.
(http://i.imgur.com/21fcVFe.jpg)
???: Oh, um, hello! We, welcome to here!
Sara pulls you over to the building and opens the door. The insides look.. homey. When she opens another door, a pleasant odor wafts out.
Sara: Kusuri! Someone else came!
Looking through the door reveals a humble kitchen and a man of indeterminate age.
(http://i.imgur.com/zVjNkM6.png?1)
He puts down the various things he's holding and turns to you.
Kusuri: Oh, hello. My name's Kusuri; it's a pleasure to meet you!
Kusuri: Did you just find yourself here? It's pretty strange, isn't it?
Hanako receives a dream for the proper scientific notation of glassware.

As I feel the boy push back with more vigor than I anticipated, I weigh my options for a moment. I could let him win, after all. It would be amusing to see what he'd make me do.
On the other hand, there's the matter of honor. It's one thing to take it easy on him once, but after I put stakes on the line? Foolishness.
I push back.

"Oh! Perfect Timing, I was about to find her myself!" Louise quickly gathers the fragments and calls to the library. "Let's meet outside for this, we don't want to be handling fragments inside, right?"
Sara and Corey both get a dream for the 'boring games' exchange and 'x box fragments' respectively
Becca receives a dream for 'chestboard.'
had Cory not awarded it, you would have gotten a dream from me.
"I think I understand. the first gate only needed one fragment, the second needed 2, now the third needs 3. Wrench, Flashlight, and hammer sounds like it could work. I can only think that we will be diving into a hardware supply store..."
Louise listens to the exchange, not commenting on anything, but hoping Cory will feel better after some rest.
Kusuri gains a memory for the joke, Holy gains a goodnight memory
Condition 8. New cards drawn.
Cory yawns and wakes up slowly. He thinks he was dreaming about something, and he doesn't think it was very pleasant, but he's not sure what the actual dream was. Opening his eyes, he wonders for a long minute if he's still dreaming, as he glances around the room. Then he remembers.
He's feeling a little better than yesterday, so he must have slept pretty well. He's still confused, but he thinks he'll be able to go with it for now. Looking around, he tries to see where everyone is. If Holy is the only one awake, he'll smile at her, but not say anything.

Louise Awakens, Spots Holy, Then rises from the bed. She once again attempts to straighten her hair and her coat, shuffling around and putting her shoes back on. When she is finished and believes she looks decent considering the circumstances, she will head to the library, where she expects there to be a new book regarding the submarine.
Condition 9. New cards drawn.
Yawning hugely and stretching like a cat, I wake up.
"Food," I mumble sleepily as I plod towards the kitchen.
Kusuri gets a memory for his reaction
"Don't worry, I didn't cook it!"
You all enter the main building, where quite the crowd is waiting for you. In addition to Sara and Kusuri, there are two newcomers.

Kusuri: Ah, here the others are. Welcome back!
Kusuri: Things got a bit busy while you were away.
Punk Girl: Hey. Name's JK.
Rock Guy: Yo. I'm Andy. It's nice to meet'cha.
JK: Rude. Can't you tell I'm from Japan?
Andy: Um, yeah, I'm also from Japan...
You may make a CHA + CHA flip on that, if you wish.
Ana gets a dream for her "fairy tale"
"she did, but only in passing" Louise thinks about the story she just heard. The resemblance to our situation is uncanny. If Becca did indeed meet this girl, then perhaps Ana is hinting at something... something real. Holy said that the white city is filled with Lunes and that she observes on behalf of her home. "Holy. Does this story sound at all familiar to you?"
"I think Ana may not have made this story up. Or, if she did, there may be more truth to it than she let on." Louise recovers the Golden Wrench from wherever she stowed it. "This, by the way, is the wrench that Ana gifted to us. If you wish, you can try and use it, but I recommend stepping outside, as we do not know what it does. I have rather avoided using it."
Louise takes a sip, sharing an indirect kiss with Kusuri and Andy.
just as planned~
Translator's note: planned means けいかく
"So I guess we should just go ahead and make the gate then?" Cory queries.
Louise receives a dream for the indirect keikaku.*
*Translator's note: "Keikaku" means "kiss".
