Good day. I didn't expect I would[sr]see you all again quite so soon.
[k]

？1：What's going on?
？2：What are you doing here, Astraea?

？！

[charaFace D 5]

＠Astraea
Everyone in this land is missing something crucial.[sr]Surely you've all noticed as much yourselves?
[k]

＠Astraea
That goes for me as well. I expect I'm[sr]missing some core part of my memories.
[k]

＠Astraea
Eventually, I figured out that I need those[sr]scraps of paper if I'm to fill in those gaps.
[k]

＠Astraea
That's why I went to investigate the Masquerade Ball Patchwork after discussing it with the Steam King.

I'm sure you do. But if we all have equal need of them, then it is only just that they should go to the superior being.

What better way to balance the scales[sr]and keep the world turning smoothly?

Yes, I would certainly prefer not to self-destruct unless no other option presents itself. Especially as we still can't be sure that the paper is there at all.

＠Babbage
With that in mind, Astraea and I agreed[sr]to begin our search in the other patchworks.

Besides, in the event that I have forgotten something important, there is still another possibility.
[k]

？1：What's that?
？！

＠Babbage
I created this prototype Analytical Engine when[sr]I was still alive. I know it better than anything.
[k]

＠Babbage
Assuming I foresaw the possibility of forgetting something, I'm sure I would have implemented a subsystem to prevent any loss of data.
[k]

？1：Like a backup!
？2：You've always gotta back up your work!

？！

＠Babbage
Indeed, as every engineer knows, that is one of the most basic fundamentals of our profession. Knowing me, I am sure that is exactly what I did.
[k]

[charaFace F 4]

＠Babbage
But, unfortunately...I cannot remember[sr]where this crucial subsystem could be.
[k]

＠Babbage
I am nearly certain it is somewhere within my Steam Castle, but given who I am, I doubt I would have placed it anywhere that was easy to find.

All right, let's start by exploring every[sr]centimeter of this Steam Castle place.
