It used to be a very high quality, but the edges are starting to fray... no pun intended.

As Fray picks it up, he'll feel-

Small. Younger, even, and in so much pain he can't help but want to cry. Someone is holding him, singing softly- but the voice is mechanical.

How strange. Despite this, it helps.

For now.

[As the feelings start, Fray drops the ribbon like it's on fire. He doesn't like the way this feels, but he's powerless to stop it, and by the time he's in control of his feelings again, he just feels... cold. Like the momentary warmth of the memory has left him and now there's nothing left.]

Did you feel that?

[He asks to Argenti, eyes wide.]

[ The gentle sensation of being held is shocking in the face of so much intense pain - yet the voice that is singing reaches his ears. He is not unfamiliar with lending his ear to harmonies that are woven most beautifully - yet it is artificial somehow in a way that is upsettingly disorienting.

...But somehow comforting, enough so when it leaves, there is a void in its place. Yet Argenti is thankful for it nonetheless. ]

...Yes, I did. It clearly must have been an important memory...

I assume you no longer feel those sensations either?

They're gone now.

[His eyes don't leave the ribbon and Fray shakes his head.]

It would seem that there's a great deal of pain here.

[The other memories are making that clear too...]

We'll need to be careful as we proceed.

[Keep an eye out for the ones who will be most hurt by such memories and feelings, and try to retain their bearings.]

I am glad that they have not lingered.

[ Argenti's worry is true, but fortunately for naught in this case. That being so, Fray also speaks aloud his other concerns so clearly and swiftly that he is certainly all the more glad for it, even if it means that there is much to still be concerned for. ]

...We will.

Fortunately, as long as we keep our bearings, for ourselves and an eye on the others I have full faith we will be able to get through this.

[ And assist who this palace currently holds trapped. ]

[The first part gets a nod; he doesn't want to get into it in front of the others, but the forced feelings certainly worry him.]

Indeed. We'll free the owner of this palace.

[It's just a matter of finding them, it would seem...]
