[The third piece brings you a memory of you laying in your bedroom. It’s shortly after your first trauma game; you were killed, and you know why. It’s because you all panicked. If you took a moment, if you kept calm… Things might have turned out differently. You have yourself to blame, and not only for your own death - you should have been intelligent enough to keep this from happening to the rest of your team.
As you finish playing the final piece, the pages crumple and twist on their own as words begin to appear on them: fuck up, mistake, idiot, among others, begin to spread across each sheet of paper.]
[He directs you to the stage, where you'll find several pill bottles. Touching one gives you this memory, and after it's over you see something glinting inside the bottle.
You find an opal. Touching it makes you feel strong. You know that you aren’t alone, and that you’re growing and changing. Even if you’ve made mistakes in the past, there are people here who will always be there for you no matter what.
Names and images pass through your mind. Nightingale. Silver. Citrine. Aoko. Ed. Tesla. Kaito. Vash. Sabre. Holly, Obsidian, Clover, Lark, Star… You recall everyone who’s ever been close to you or supported you even when you didn’t yet deserve it. You’re going to be a better person because you owe it to them. Their friendship and love has made you the person who you are.

Re: CLUB
That's not true, Natalie. No one could be expected to perform perfectly in those kinds of situations. And it was your first. No one would blame you.

[Tama puts a hand on her shoulder. He doesn't know exactly what happened in the memory, but...he can guess the gist.]
We'll make sure she knows. After we help her out here.

Re: CLUB
Right. ... What now?
Re: CLUB
Re: CLUB
This is what we were supposed to see. Right?
[deep breath in and out]
So what's next? Is there something balancing it out?
Re: CLUB
Maybe we could open it up? There's... strings and stuff inside the body, right?
[ maybe there's something in there they're supposed to find... since... they're supposed to be collecting objects ]

You feel as though you should keep this stone close to you as you go on. Then you can make your way to the next area.]
