Neon Soda, Silent Grimoires, Priceless Tears

Jill

One sip and the voices in your head go quiet for a night.

Index

(103,000 grimoires screaming at once... can one drink really silence them?)

Jill

But silence has a price. You lose your memories of everyone you care about.

Index

Even... even Touma's memories?

Mikoto

Don't you dare touch that drink, Index! I'll short-circuit this whole bar first!

Rebecca

Perfect! This will make an amazing emotional climax for my documentary!

Index

(The voices are getting louder... but forgetting Touma feels worse than dying...)

Jill

Just kidding! It's actually just grape soda. But your reaction? Priceless.

Index

(103,000 voices laughing at me... mocking my hope...)

Jill

You should see your face right now. Priceless.

Index

Give me something REAL! I can't live like this anymore!

Mikoto

Back off, bartender. She's been through enough.

Jill

There is one drink that might work. But it's permanent.

Index

(The voices are getting louder... Touma's face is already fading...)

Rebecca

Wait, what's that in her shadow? It looks like... chains?

Index

(The grimoires... they're not just voices anymore... they're taking form...)

Jill

Those aren't just memories in your head... they're using you as an anchor.

Mikoto

(My lightning... it's feeding them...)

Jill

The mirrors... they're multiplying her consciousness...

Rebecca

(The whole city's watching... this is better than any documentary!)

Index

Touma... I'm sorry...

Jill

The permanent drink—it's the only way to sever the anchor!

Mikoto

(If she drinks it... she'll forget him forever... but if she doesn't...)

Index

Better to forget... than to be the reason he dies...

Rebecca

(Her eyes... each one shows a different timeline...)

Jill

Once you drink this, there's no going back. The grimoires will be silent... but so will your heart.
