To: All Heroes of Light
[ This letter comes in a black envelope. ]
Fellow Heroes of Light.
In the aftermath of our battle with Palitutu, questions have arisen as to how we will face the Emperor. Some amongst us are following what lead we have on the Calamity, others are trying save what can be saved or find what clues those before left for us. However, Garland's defeat will mean nothing if the Calamity is allowed to devour all worlds.
We have been told countless time victory is impossible, yet evidently this hasn't deterred us-- If anything all attempts to discourage us have only served to renforce our convictions, our belief in an eventual victory. And whilst I do share this belief, time is running short.
But nothing is set in stone. Thus my question: what are your plans to deal with the Calamity?

She did. Or, I thought she did. Did you ever meet the Lady Kalki? One of our adversaries, on the surface of it, but also someone that has given us more reliable information than anyone else. One of the Avatars of the Calamity. Supposedly, she is dead, but I can't believe that.
Dr. Sumati presented a problem. You see, Kalki is a doppelganger, a reincarnation of a former Hero who was brought into this world's Cycle of Souls when they failed to stop the Calamity. Is Dr. Sumati that original Hero? Was that her world that we saw? Does it even matter, though? It has crossed my mind that the Hero, let's suppose it was Dr. Sumati, was one of the Heroes who tried to bargain with the Calamity last cycle, and who led to the creation of the Black Crystals, like we saw Palitutu using. If I were to ask Chiaki, we'd get hung up on that detail, and wonder whether or not her world was supposed to be destroyed? Maybe it doesn't matter at all.
But we created her. We met her, when we were thrown back in time, to Aqures Tosf. It was her, and she was merely a doppelganger, a worker at the lab. Then. She fell into the Crystal of Fire. I have no idea what happened to her between then and when she re-emerged as an Avatar. But it was us.
It was my fault.
I tried too hard to stop the destruction of Aqures Tosf, thought I could solve it like I always did, and it scared her. People try to tell me that it would have always happened that way, the way the Time Vortex works here, there is no affecting the timestream. I can't believe that. I know that time works differently. It was my fault.
And then, she was gone. We returned to the present, and she wasn't here. I couldn't ask why she had sent us to the past in the first place. I couldn't apologize. I saw such despair in her, when we met her. Did I cause that? I know better than to take responsibility for her actions. Those are on her head alone. But for causing her pain? That I wish I could apologize for.
