(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Hey, Hinoiri. Are you around?

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Yeah, working on homework. Wassup?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Got a thing with Riventon.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Over the museum with the exhibit.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: He tried stealing a jar.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Something called the Jar of Memories.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Sorry, I just... sighed so many times. Does it erase memories? How many times am I going to want to hit him after this? Did he get away with it? How many times did he gloat? Was there a sense of deja vu?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I figure you would. Wouldn't be the same without him trying to take things.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: You might say that's enough for deja vu?

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Any idea why he tried to steal it, or just general 'Well, it's magic/it's shiny/the day ends in y so I decided it should be mine' kind of thing?'

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: We have no idea what it does, but there was lots of gloating. It may not be his plan? Might be Obsidian's. Didn't stop the gloating though, both about Gaito and the Fade.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: What did you think of the Fade when you were in Obsidian? Riventon called it 'ours'.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Oh gosh darn it. What does a jar have to do with Gaito or the fade? And, honestly? That it suuuuuucked. Hated it. Seemed like a BS thing, losing all your memories. Lots of cowards there. Dark users seemed to be immune to it, though, figured it was part of the whole like... reason it hurt whenever we did our magic. Also why they were keen on the 'Don't escalate, we just need to outlast, eventually the sparkles retire, then we win'. Nobody ever listened, though.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: We don't really want to let it happen. And with the magic exhibit seems like it has been getting worse (Cleopatra, Napoleon and more old history people having magic), so maybe we can get it reversed? Or even stopped.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: I don't think the Jar and Gaito have anything to do with each other. He was just happy about informing us he got rid of Gaito and stole his magic.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Got rid of him? Pfft. Sure he did. Yeah, like, the age it hits seems to get lower at times. Wait, you have a lead on stopping it? How does this jar tie into it?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Kamiko thinks it's a lie too, at least the first part. He was really insistent about it, rephrasing it constantly.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: But he never actually said 'he died' or 'I killed him'. Just 'I dealt with him', 'he is gone', 'he is resting'.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Ahhhh. Saying it every way but not actually saying it? Sounds like him? I used to love doing that. Used to be the funnest way to be a smug jerk, I almost miss those days. Sorry.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: You always got a temper about it. Don't worry, we know you and wouldn't trade you for anything.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Calling it a plan is too far. We just intend to investigate the exhibit and hope it leads to a clue?

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: We also need to find out what the Jar was about and why it was there.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Neither side has it now. It got broken in the fight.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Okay, but why do you think the jar has anything to do with the fade? Do you have the pieces, by any chances? If you bring them to my little makeshift lab, I can examine them.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Just something to looking into, since it may be connected to the exhibit. I don't have the pieces though. You are right, it would have been useful. Maybe I can check with the others.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Please do. If it's connected with the fade, I can likely find out... well, something.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Yeah, I'll likely head out to check on it tomorrow. I got some contacts I'll reach out too, as well. Thanks for the info.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Madoka and I are going too. Catch you there maybe.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Don't let the charas break anything! Ohhhhh. Maybe you can bring this Hiddenite guy. Maybe he'll know something.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: You sure that's why you are bringing him up? Though I don't have his number.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Oh, no reason. Just thought might be useful, that's all. Hee hee.

(PHONE) Sayaka Miki texts: Ok, ok, I will see what I can do.
