Fourth Shooting Star - voice;

Hey, there's something I've been wondering for a while now. Some people here use words like "kun" and uh... "san" at the end of people's names, but what does it mean? Is it like saying mister or miss? It's something I never heard before I came here, not even in other worlds.

[Hmm. There's something else he's curious about, too. Prior to the draft, people were talking about Christmas, so...]

By the way, isn't Christmas coming up pretty soon? I wonder if Santa's gonna make it here. If he can travel to all the worlds in one night, then I'm sure it's possible, but what if the barrier gets in the way? Has he ever been here before?

You went to other worlds before?

About nine of 'em! Technically I wasn't supposed to leave home, but I had to make sure one of my friends was okay.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

That's a lot! Are your friends okay now?

[Voice]

Yeah, they're just fine! All three of us are here, and nothing's happened since we got here.

[de_bel_survivor]

There's always the experiments, but yeah, it's great that they're fine!

The experiment sure seemed messy when it happened. Some of the stuff was silly, but it looks like others were really upset about it.

[de_bel_survivor]

Not everyone like some of the experiment changes, especially doing things while affected.

[Recalling Vash's personality change. His own experiment came a little later.]

I know that some people turned into kids, and I got stuck singing, but what else happened?

Switch bodies, changing the personality, literally becoming tiny, changing into the opposite gender, altering your history...

Altering history? They can do that?

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

At least it feels like it. When I'm under it, I remember doing some things differently and was changed a bit from those choices.

So they can mess with people's memories. I can't believe they'd do something like that.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

Same here, but they can when they shouldn't. It's changing the person, since our memories play a part in shaping us.

[He takes a minute to respond, thinking.

... Yeah, memories are a big part.]

I guess they don't stop to think about how much it might hurt people.
