"Hehehe... right. I'm not though!" I frowned at Subaru's statement while we shared a laugh. Regardless, I opened the book, and began 'reading'.
"See y'all soon, I guess?"

The white expanse that stretched endlessly down the path. No... there wasn't even a path. It's a corridor. You can vaguely see the outlines of ley lines etched into the tunnel's edges, symbolizing the very being that defines this world's existence.
Many people would be bewildered and surprised beyond measure, but it was my intention to come here all along.
A place that even the Witch of Envy cannot touch - Od Laguna's Cradle: The Corridor of Memories.
Within a flash, the scenery s changed and the floor beneath my feet shifted into a marble-white pathway, and the walls of tunnel shifted into a helix spiral around me, with gaps in between the lines and lights at the ends of the tunnel.
"So this is the Corridor of Memories... it gives off quite the eerie feeling, to be honest."
I took a few steps here and there, and observed the place with interest. But before I could move any further from my spawn area, a voice stopped me in my tracks.
"We've been expecting you, onii-san."
!
Turning around, I found myself facing a blonde girl in a white dress, with her hair so long it drooped across the floor. She wore a wicked smile as she spoke, and held out a hand towards me.
"Welcome to the Corridor of Memories, onii-san. We suppose you already know who we are... but for the sake of courtesy... We're the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony of the Witch's Cult, in charge of Satiation, Louis Arneb."
"Nice to... meet you, I guess, Louis Arneb. My name is Y/N L/N."
"Hmm... so, how does onii-san feel about your current situation?" Louis asked me, and I felt an overwhelming sense of discomfort for some reason.
"What exactly do you mean by that?"
"Being a new self, and all. We are very, very curious about you."
Is she trying to turn me against my old self? My past memories? No... those memories are also me. They are a part of Y/N L/N. And I must get them back.
"I feel as if I need to be completed. That's why I've come here, Louis Arneb, and I'm requesting my old self back."
"You are very different from 'Natsuki Subaru', onii-san. Despite supposedly coming from the same homeland, you have different ideals and views. Why is it that you have no doubts that by letting Y/N L/N, the original, return, nothing bad will come of it?"
"That's quite simple... Louis Arneb." I smiled in contempt as a previous memory that Omega shared with me beforehand resurfaced.

Flashback
"Omega... are you sure this would work?"
"Yes, yes it will, Y/N. Are you having second thoughts now?" Omega taunted as she flicked my forehead, giving me a light smile.
"No... no I'm not! After all, it'll be more trouble for you if I don't make it back, right?"
"I entrust myself wholly to him. It's also a test. If my clones can betray myself, then things would need to be altered. Doesn't this experiment benefit us both?"
