Author's Note:
Because this chapter is Haruka's recordings, it's written as a script since a recording would realistically not be as descriptive as a story. Before you start reading, I must apologize for the writing structure on mobile. I write and access Wattpad on the computer, so it may seem fine to me when there's actually an issue. This is the only chapter that will ever be written like this- exceptions for if I include a character's diary entry, etc.

15:22

Sora: So, um..
Hibiki: Speak clearly. No stammering, it's unladylike.
Sora: Right, sorry.

15:31

Hibiki: Wasn't there something you wanted to say? I didn't mean for you to quieten.
Sora: Sorry.
Hibiki: Quit apologizing. We'll never get anywhere like this.

15:50

Hibiki: Must I repeat, was there not something that you needed to say?
Sora: Could.. Could you give me an answer?
Hibiki: To?
Sora: Everything.
Hibiki: That's a broad statement. Start somewhere, Fox.
Sora: Well, who are you, exactly? You can't expect me to believe I was whisked away on an adventure with some guy claiming to be a demon lord, that Tomoe who I know too well, and a young girl who seems out of place.
Hibiki: After my dramatic entrance, my spiraling horns, and the manipulation I had cast upon you, how can you still have any doubts?
Sora: I guess you have a point. What about that girl, the one behind us?
Hibiki: Are you amnesic? I thought we I had already stated that she's synthetic.
Sora: Uh, just forget the question.

16:07

Sora: Those pests, the things you used to attack the wedding, why did it scare everyone away?
Hibiki: It was a mental illusion. Those who needed to leave saw a beast that could tear hundreds to shreds. Those of importance saw shrewd imps. Either way, it worked.
Sora: Magic, witchcraft, it's all so abstract to me.
Hibiki: I suppose it can be. It's complex to everyone, and no two people feel the same about the idea of magic.

16:15

Hibiki: It's my turn. Tell me something about yourself, before I discover it on my own.
Sora: Uh, I'm pretty good at writing. I'm not as poetic as you though, I can tell you're of such a manner by the way you speak. It's all so formal, like you're being tested.
Hibiki: I was raised this way, everyone around me spoke with undiluted reverence.
Sora: I recently started learning how to play the ocarina.
Hibiki: Here's some colloquial language to your liking- you're such a dork.
Sora [Heart circulation skipped<meaning unknown]: W-Well, I'm sorry!
Hibiki: Stop apologizing. You're still a dork, the ocarina is commonly defined as extinct to modern cultures.
Sora: If you insist.

_No vivid reactions found in Subject:Hibiki as of yet.

Hibiki: Now, when will you vanquish that facade of yours?
Sora: What are you talking about?
Hibiki: Fox, do you really expect me to believe you aren't wearing contact lenses? And that, your're just who you appear to be? Why do you think that gem came into your possession? I already went through this as well back at the castl- Nevermind. I'll explain it over for you if you wish.
Sora: I'm not amnesic.
Hibiki: Maybe you're dishonest then. Let's make a deal.
Sora: 'A deal with the devil', isn't that a bit cliche?
Hibiki: Don't.
Sora: Fine, I guess that was pretty rude of me to say. Give me time to think.
Hibiki: As you wish, so it shall be.
Sora: You're just toying with me now, aren't you?
Hibiki: Perhaps.

17:03

Sora: Okay, what are your terms?
Hibiki: If I save your life, you're in debt to participate in this quest.
Sora: Those seem like odd terms.
Hibiki: You're an idiot, Fox, those are the same rules you've already agreed to abide by. I saved your life from the plummet, and you're in my debt. Things don't exactly work that way, to be fair. In spite of that, I've already told you I formed a contract with you. My suspicions weren't faulty. Have you been blocking out everything I've been saying?

17:20

Sora: I'm just.. not feeling well.
Hibiki: Forget it. I'd pry the answers out of you, but I'm not allowed to harm you with the contract intact. What a shame, as well. You're too frail.
Sora: I remember falling. I remember you mentioning some kind of contract, but my head is too full.
Hibiki: Of?
Sora: I don't know. Thoughts.
Hibiki: Very well. Do you at least remember how noticeably embarrassed you were before?
Sora: I'm not your toy. That was a harsh moment.
Hibiki: Anyway, I'll explain contract details later if you tell me who you are.
Sora: 'Deal with the devil', how iconic.
Hibiki: Hush.
Sora: I agree anyway, I'll try my best to tell you.. Stuff.

18:00

Hibiki: Your sense of direction is incompetent.
Sora: S-Sorry, you seemed to be leading us nowhere so I thought that maybe nor-
Hibiki: That's the idea. Chaos doesn't have an absolute direction. Or does it? Anyway, don't act like a lost doe. It doesn't suit a Fox.
Sora: Uh.. I'm sorry.
Hibiki: Again with the apologizing. Almighty, please stop.
Sora: Sor- Yeah, um, alright.
Hibiki: You need a better vocabulary.
Sora: I know.

18:30

Hibiki: I call you Fox because you're a vessel.
Sora: Huh?
Hibiki: You're just a soul-vessel for a spirit. Nine-tailed fox. I knew from the start by the scent, but getting you to admit it yourself would help me understand your personality. If you don't take those stupid lenses off, I'll make you. Blasted Fox, you've more foolish then you seem if you think I wouldn't have found out.
Sora: I have feelings too. You're becoming extremely insulting.
Hibiki: And yet, you completely put aside what I say. I will unlock every one of your mysteries, Fox, for it'll be the only thing that allows me to keep my sanity while being around you three.
Sora: That seems intruding.
Hibiki: Good.

18:56

Sora: Are you a sadist?
Hibiki: Then you must be a masochist.
Sora: Oh.
Hibiki: Yes.
Sora: What just happened?
Hibiki: You must have gained more stupidity. Don't speak, you'll lower the IQ of the entire forest.
Sora: You have a Cheshire-cat smile.
Hibiki: Thank you for noting me of that, it only confirms how much you gawk at me.

18:59

Hibiki: I just noticed something.
Sora: What is it?
Hibiki: Due to my deductions, I can predict two things. Someone is listening to us speak, and that Prince is about to whine about how tired he is after walking.
Sora: Maybe you're the idiot.
Hibiki: Oi, watch your tongue. If I'm correct, I'll do something bizarre in the near future, just to get your reaction out of it. I'll act like nothing is wrong until that precise moment, though.
Sora: Whatever, its a deal then.

Conclusion: Undetermined. Data gives controversial information.
