Medi thinks back to a earlier. The reason why... ...Well, it can't really be helped.
As long as he's alright now, she didn't have much to worry about.
"I...I think I'm ready..."

"alright..." Theta turns his gaze back towards the path behind them. "let's... go." He slowly begins walking back the way they came.
The walk back is mostly uneventful, and very much quiet. A breeze blows through the canopy up above as sun filters down in shifting shafts of light.
Eventually they reach the elevator once more. Theta turns around to face Medi before entering the elevator.
"I must warn you, what you find on your floor... there's a good chance it won't be pleasant. Are you willing to continue?"

Theta explains the best he can. "Simply said, statistically most players of the game tend to have some unsavory memories carried with them. It's the nature of the beast to completely ruin everything if it does not go as planned, and even then it can show no remorse to those trapped by the threads of fate. Simply said, there's a lot of fucked up shit out there. I don't know what exactly you might carry with you, but it's a best guess at this point."

Medi looks down.
What can she remember? ... She doesn't. All she could recall is her weapon. And nothing else...
"...We...We need to get it over with anyway...Don't we? I don't have...anything else to lose..."

Theta nods. "I'm glad you're understanding of the situation. Let's go now." He walks into the elevator, letting Medi enter before closing the doors. Theta pulls out a much larger tome from his sylladex, about the size of a large dictionary, in contrast to the thinner small town phonebook sized directory from earlier. He opens the tome up at an arbitrary page and focuses as the pages begin to turn on their own.
It lands upon Medi's entry.
After looking it over for a moment, Theta goes to type in some numbers on the keypad. After that, he pulls the lever on the elevator.
The elevator begins going up, but something seems... different. It's also going sideways, but in a hard to describe sort of sideways. The tower feels simultaneously further away and yet it's still there. It doesn't make a bit of sense, and honestly Theta is kinda weirded out by it. This is the first time he's tried this out with the elevator.
Eventually though, the elevator begins to slow down.
It stops and it dings. An endless moment of silence later, the doors open...

The breeze that poured into the elevator as it opened was warm...And immediately after it opens completely, the two are met with the sight of stairs.
Medi slowly steps off, unease in her face and movements.
A large, towering mountain was right in front of her. Or...Was it a frog temple? It was hard to identify, moreso with the abundance of glitchy artifacts around them.
She looks upwards, and notices a peculiar thing at the top.
It was an egg.

Theta recognizes the place almost immediately. It's the egg temple. But, wasn't this a place in Alpha' Seth's dreams? Did the elevator malfunction? There sure are enough glitches around here to make it seem that way. "Medi, do you believe this is the right place?" Theta asks to make sure.

"I do...remember this place..."
Medi looks around.
"This island...Is where I met him...Where I really met him..."
She looks back up to the top.
"And this is where..." Slowly, slowly, she starts to make her way to the top.

Theta follows her up. It seems the elevator went to the right place after all... From experience, he shouldn't have to do too much, but the factor of her not being a Seth might change things up a bit. He pulls out his decomposition notebook and starts taking notes.

The ascent felt like it could go on forever.
"I...remember someone from this island...Who tried to keep him here...She...She had this feeling...like something was definitely wrong with her..."
Her hands assume the position of wielding a mace.
"I knew that if I attacked her directly...he wouldn't forgive me...But...But then I heard...That the island disappears as soon as something from up at that egg wakes up."
Slowly, slowly, slowly...
"So I..."
...Eventually, they arrive at the top. The sky flickers with static.
The egg is cracked open.

Theta listens to Medi while climbing the stairs, scrawling quick notes between steps. He's never played the game this place was based from, but he had taken the time to listen to some of the doomed link seths that had reached his front door. He is quite startled when the egg bursts open up above. From what the furthest along link seth had told him, nothing could crack that egg that he could get his hands on. He had been lacking the 8th instrument. The wind fish inside could not be awakened. "May I ask... how?"

Medi turns to Theta.
"My friend helped me."
She is now holding a mace with clock hands for spikes.
"I didn't even think I could open it up...My old weapon didn't even make a dent...But this...Their gift...Somehow, it was special..."
She turns back to the egg. She walks slowly towards the opening...but stops a little short.
"...But it wouldn't let me in. No matter how many times I tried...I couldn't go in there and finish it myself...So...So I waited...I hid away...Until..."

"Your... friend?" Theta doesn't know much about the Kats aside from what the other Seths have told him. He's still confused about the context here. Theta takes a few more notes while waiting for the next part of the sequence.
From what he's come to know from experience and his studies, dying memories tend to be the most important memories for ghosts. Learning about their dying memories are integral to understanding their behavior. From there, proper arrangements can be made to accommodate them.

She turns to him again. Something seemed...wrong about her.
"Yes...My friend..."
From her pale, pale blue irises came light, nearly unnoticeable static. Her face held a smile...but something was definitely wrong with it.
In one hand, she held her mace. And in the other... A diary, partially stained with a black substance.
"My friend...He wrote to me...He liked my drawings...He gave me hope...And gave me a gift..."
She opens the diary and it starts flipping by themselves to a page with a girl in an inky black dress. There are writings on it, from what seems to be two different people.
She glances back at the Egg.
"I knew Seth would notice the hole I made eventually...And he went in...But he never came back out...
