Lake...
They then reached a lake. There was no way the stranger could have crossed. Realizing that, she stopped. Kalin was baffled as to why until he saw what was ahead of her. He too stopped. The stranger then turned towards Kalin. There was nowhere to go now. Kalin walked towards her. sHE didn't move. He then stopped when he was quite a distance away from her.
Kalin: ... Who are you?
The stranger then removes their hood.
Kalin: (Mm?!)
Misty: Feel free to tell everyone who the cloaked stranger is now that you know.
Kalin: Aren't you...?
Misty: Misty Tredwell? Yes. Now whenever you're ready to expose me, let me know so I have time to prepare for the worst.
Kalin stared at her.
Misty: If you're going to, get it over with.
Kalin: Misty... Tredwell... No wonder I know you.
Misty: Well, I am a famous model, so I'm not surprised you know who I am.
Kalin: That's not what I mean.
Misty: Care to explain?
Kalin: ... You don't remember me, do you?
Misty: Should I? I don't remember ever seeing you before.
Kalin: Actually, you have. You just don't remember.
Misty: When was this?
Kalin: You wouldn't remember, even if I did tell you.
Misty: That doesn't convince me I know who you are at all.
Kalin: You know what, forget I said anything. Forget you saw me today.
Misty: Forget? You just chased me around New Domino City. I doubt forgetting you will be that simple.
Kalin: You've done it once before.
Misty: I'll ask again. When was this?
Kalin: Look, I wish I could tell you, but it wouldn't help.
Misty: Why can't you tell me?
Kalin: I...
Misty: You claim that I know you. If you can say that, then you should be able to say from when.
Kalin: I can, but...
Misty: I wouldn't remember?
Kalin: I'm sorry...
Misty: Never mind. If you say I won't remember, then you're likely to be right.
Kalin: Please don't be offended.
Misty: You chase me here, claim to know who I am and then tell me to forget this ever happened?
Kalin: Look, I... Never mind, I'll just go.
Misty: Wait...
Kalin: ...
Misty: If you know I know who you are and you want me to put what happened today behind me, wouldn't telling me be the best way to do it?
Kalin: I...
Misty: I guess not. Well I have to go. Farewell.
Kalin: No, wait!
Misty: Hmm?
Kalin: I'll tell you, but... I need you to prepare yourself for what I'm about to tell you. It's pretty ridiculous, but it's the truth.
Misty: I'm listening.
Kalin: Do... Do you...?
Misty: Do I what?
Kalin: ...
Misty: ...
Kalin: ... Do you remember you're days as... a Dark Signer?
Misty: ...!
There is then a sudden pause.
Kalin: (Darn! I was way too direct. I should go.)
Misty: ... Who are you?
Kalin: (Hmm?!)
Misty: How do you know about that?! Please tell me!
Kalin: (She... remembers...?)
Misty: Please, sir. I need you to answer my question!
Kalin: ... Before I do, there's one thing I need to know.
Misty: What is it?
Kalin: Do you fully understand what I just brought up?
Misty: About the Dark Signers? Yes. But what I want to know is how you became aware that I was one.
Kalin: ...
Misty: Please, answer me.
Kalin: Mm...
Misty: ...
Kalin: ... Do you... recognize this?
He holds up a card and shows it to her.
Misty: That's a...
She then pulls out a card but doesn't show him what card it is.
Kalin: (Could that be...?)
Misty: (They're the same type of card.)
Kalin: Earthbound Immortals.
She looks up at him.
Kalin: Are you aware of them?
She then reveals her card to him.
Kalin: ... So, you also have yours?
Misty: For you to have a similar card... I must know you. Please, tell me your name.
Kalin: Don't you recognise me?
Misty: I... I...
She looks back down at her card. Suddenly, memories fly around her head. One is then placed firmly in the center of her mind. It was of a man she once worked alongside, a man who wielded a blue Earthbound Immortal. She tried desperately to remember the man's name.
Kalin: Misty, it's me.
Misty: You're... you're...
Kalin: Yes... go on...
She then remembered when they met. It was only once. She and the other Dark Signers had assembled in what appeared to have been a dining room. He was one of them. He sat next to her. They never spoke to each other. Barely any of the dark signers communicated. However, that didn't change the fact she knew him.
Misty: Yes... I know you...
Kalin: Yes, Misty. Try to remember...
Misty: ...
Kalin: ...
Misty: K... Kalin?
Kalin: That's it!
Misty: Kalin... Kessler...?
Kalin: That's me.
Misty: You're... What are you...? How are you...?
Kalin: I should be asking you those questions.
Misty: It... really is you.
Kalin: How are things... Misty?
Misty: Things are... alright... And you?
Kalin: Can't complain, as always.
Misty: ... What are you doing in New Domino City?
Kalin: It's a long story.
Misty: Mind sharing it with me?
Kalin: Is there anywhere quiet we could talk about it?
Misty: Actually... I can't go back to New Domino City.
Kalin: Why not?
Misty: How quickly we forget, Kalin.
Kalin: Oh... You don't want to risk the town's safety?
Misty: I'm glad you understand me.
Kalin: Of course I do. It's the reason I left my home to come here.
Misty: Really? But then... why come here?
Kalin: Because if I do become a Dark Signer again, there's someone here I can count on to stop me.
Misty: ... Yūsei Fudō?
Kalin: Yeah.
Misty: Makes sense.
Kalin: So, you intend to leave? Where to?
Misty: Anywhere there's nobody in sight for me to hurt.
Kalin: But, you'd be all by yourself.
Misty: That's the whole idea.
Kalin: Why not stay here? Yūsei can help you too if you become a Dark Signer again.
Misty: You expect me to stay here just because he can save me? Yūsei's a busy man now. I can't just drop such a burden like that on him.
Kalin: I know what you mean, but...
Misty: Besides, he's supposed to save you if you turn into a Dark Signer again.
Kalin: Yūsei would never turn a blind eye to anyone.
Misty: That still doesn't change anything. I have to leave.
Kalin: But, Misty...
Misty: I'm sorry, Kalin. I just have to.
