Dear Mr. Hearts,

I'd like to formally invite you over for dinner tonight. I can't promise I'll make anything spectacular, because I'm still learning how to cook properly, so I'll keep sandwich ingredients on hand just in case everything goes horribly wrong. What kind of foods do you like to eat? I'm just about to go to the store, so if you let me know what you'd enjoy, I'll make sure to pick it up.

You've been very kind to me. I want to express my appreciation for all you've done to help me learn to fight, and for making sure I don't get too lonely. It's been such a long time since I've been around other people, but it doesn't feel awkward at all when we talk, or play Triple Triad. Thank you for being my friend. I hope I can offer the same benefits to you.

So please come over for dinner! I only have one roommate and I haven't really seen him around enough to talk to him, so we can be as loud as we like. Then we can talk more about different methods of protection too.

Sincerely,
Akane Kurashiki

[Jack and Chiaki have accidentally fallen into the bad habit of sending each other things over Mognet when it might be easier to talk in person. Thus, when Mognet glitches, this gets copied to all the Heroes of Light.]

What I saw in that last vision, or whatever it was we saw? Owen told me a few things. First, we need to keep remembering that the crystalization wave isn't the problem. The crystalization, if anything, is holding back the Calamity. Owen described it like an immune response. Think about it, when somebody's sick, inflammation, temperature rising? Those are the body's way of fighting back, trying to kill the infection, even though those are the most visible symptoms.

Second, apparently in that cycle, the Heroes focused their efforts on Garland. Stopped him, killed him, so there was no one to push the reset button, start this all over again. The Calamity had covered the planet, and then ended. The Calamity will stop once all life that belongs on this planet is devoured. It was just them, Owen, a few other scattered Heroes of Light, left alive on a dead planet. But the Calamity had stopped. It didn't devour the Heroes' home worlds.

Still. I know a guy who made that exact decision, who sacrificed one planet to save all others? And it haunted him. So. No. I'm gonna find a way to save both this planet and everybody's, how about you?

-Jack
