On Tumblr, I posted an annoucement for the next phase. An actual attempt to open my memory up. This is what ensued:
Basically we're gonna try and unlock my memory by jogging it. Krystal seems to think that chatting about things in my Adventure Logs and diary posts might help unlock the remaining Mental Locks which forbid me from remembering much. Finding contradictions and explaining how things might work could help too to help my brain process. Krystal is unsure if it's safe but it's better we try something and fail than try nothing and still fail. I'm willing to put my trust in her. She seems to understand how my stupid fragmented mind works, after all. So yeah, if you have anything to ask, send me asks and stuff.
Anon: Who is Chandra?
Luna: Chandra... Chandra....... I'm not sure actually. I noticed that name in the memory log, it even got a rendered image of some kind. I'm not sure, I'm sorry.
...
...
............Chandra? Hey ALAIS, was that in my memory?
ALAIS:
The name Chandra appeared EXACTLY ONCE in that memory.
Strange. Anon, please keep that in mind. Maybe it'll come up again? I have no idea.

Anon: What ADMINs do you know?
Luna: Admins? uhhhhhhhh..........
Krystal: Lunes is oddly focused on this one.
Luna: .... I don't remember anything like that, but at the same time...I'll need some time for that one. I swear I can break through!

theflowermaiden13: What HEROs do you know?
Luna: I really don't know of any. I'd love to say that I'm one, but... I don't know anymore. I'm not much of anything.
Krystal: Here allow me to take over here real quick. HEROs are less a specific person or persons and rather more of a protagonist role within our World. They're the kind of people who fight for justice. Role models. They're closer what you all call 'superheroes' over here, except most can't fly or shoot lasers out of their eyes. HEROs are idolized by the common man and despised by enemies. Hope that answers your question Violet.

Anon: Opinion on The Blood Moon
Luna: ...Lunar eclipses......?
They're uh pretty... and uh...
K - Lunes? Wait, why is she showing fear from that?
...blood moons. i dont like blood moons..
K - Lunes, you got a group of people who want to help you.
......i dont... know. i cant remember why blood moons stress me out,, but...
K - So we'll uh keep that in mind I guess? Call it evidence for later or something I don't know. I'm still working out the kinks to this system. Uh I don't think she's gonna be available for the rest of the evening. Apologies. I'll try and console her.
So uh good morning y'all. Apologies for yesterday. Um, thinking about Blood Moons got my mind thinking. Unfortunately, I don't think I unlocked anything with it, but uh might be worthwhile keeping an eye on. But uh thank you for asking all of the questions. I appreciate the help. I might need a little bit of time before I can keep going down this path, uh I'm sorry. Just got a little scared for some reason, but for the life of me I don't know why. It's like an odd itch in my psyche, if that makes sense. a dim light even. Basically what I'm saying is: while it didn't specifically unlock anything, I can sorta sense something deep within me connected to them. If you wanna keep sending asks, that's fine. I'll answer in due time, but I might be slow.

Anon: Are you a robot?
Luna: I'm like 95% organic? There are a couple mechanical parts in me, and a transmitter in my brain, but everything else is flesh, bone, and fur. Plus I have a soul too. Technically 3, counting Krystal and ALAIS

Anon: What was 4444 like?
Luna: I barely remember them. I just remember being amazing friends with her. 4444 was the biggest reason I transitioned even, as she always called me her big sister despite being a boy. Obviously, we're not family or anything. I don't think LUNAs are family with each other despite having the same creators. I just remember her smile and her passions for HEROs. They were her idols, and honestly...
...
...
Wait that's right. That's why I wanted to become a HERO in the f,-- GHSTSGSKGSFUCKFUCKFGUCK
Lunes, take a deep breath and focus.
Shit. Fucking owwwww i hate the locks,,, It feels like a knife scraping against my skull;-;
But it seems you landed a hit on one of the locks Anon. Didn't unlock, but it's something.

lilithdocs: If you can tell me, where did the Luna name come from? It made me wonder if they've maybe used names of moon phases or events in things before, like Project Eclipse or something.
Luna: ...I don't know. Hm...wai--
Unfortunately, I'm not sure either. All we do know for a fact is that despite being called Solaire, they created androids based off of the moon for some reason. Apologies.
---
Anon: Do you know a Solaire eclipse?
Luna: That was a term we were using to discuss Solaire's eventual downfall. It never happened. I don't even think we can mount an offensive strong enough to take them down.
---
MrsPatriceKolt: Hope you two are OK after last night?
Luna: Yeah, I'm okay. Just need to actually focus a bit harder on the questions than usual.
Krystal - Indeed. Even though many of Luna's mental locks are open, she still needs to try and remember topics. The locks being broken just allow her to access the information. And to answer your question, I am fine. Just watching over her.
---
theflowermaiden13: What was the last thing you remember about 4444?
Luna: Hm. Gods, that would've been 14 years ago. Lemme think here. Uhhhhhh oh right, I vaguely remember we were talking about flowers. And that 4444 had a specific favorite. But memories past that are coming up empty. I'm sorry.
K - Green text. Hmm.
---
theflowermaiden13: Was it a green flower? Do you remember anything about this flower that was specific?
Luna: Green? No, it couldn't have been. Unfortunately, my memory is still extremely hazy on super specific topics. I just remember that 4444 loved it.
K - Oh wait, I think I see the confusion. Violet, the green text is more for important information. How it differs from red, I'm not sure yet. Apologies.
---
theflowermaiden13: What is the first thing you remember with 4444? Like early memories?
Luna: Unfortunately, most of my memories about 4444 are extremely hazy. I remember a couple things here or there, like her smile, and the color of her hair. The fact that she treated me like a HERO even despite my innate purpose to cause destruction.
K - I'm sorry.

Meet ALAIS
Hello. I am ALAIS. My name stands for. The Adventure Log Artificial Intelligent System. It is nice. To meet you. I hope to be of help. In solving. Miss Luna Grey's Mental Locks and processing. Adventure Logs. Also thank you. Mrs. Patrice. Kolt. For the Name.
---
Color Codes?
Hey ALAIS, why are some of the words I said highlighted in green and red?
ALAIS - It is to denote topics that appear to be making some headway into breaking your Mental Locks. The colors are for organizational purposes and nothing more.
Green = The Topic Pertains to the Mystery of Luna#4444
Red = The Topic Pertains to the Mystery of the Blood Moon
ALAIS - More colors will be added as more topics are found. Please keep these in your minds as you continue to discuss and breakthrough. In a way, the highlighted words are evidence and questions to solve to defeat the Mental Locks. Also, to those attempting to Break Through, might I suggest asking other people about various topics. If Luna does not know, then perhaps there is someone else who might?
Hm. I see, thank you ALAIS.
ALAIS - I was programmed for this. You are welcome. Over and out.

theflowermaiden13: Hey Hinata? Do you know anything about 4444 or the Blood Moon in your world?
hinataforyou: I remember hearing that 4444 had fought alongside 6969 as a duo of fearsome assassins. Killers for hire. They were legendary for their tactics and speed. Solaire paired them up after they were the sole LUNA survivors of the Blood Moon raid on Solaire's headquarters on our home world.
Rumor has it that 4444 and 6969 were lovers at one point. But then things happened and they drifted apart. Never... to be seen again. So yeah, uhm, I hope that furthers your investigation into Luna's Mental Locks. I'm aware she's allowed folks online to try and help with that.
Luna: ...were we that fearsome? I genuinely don't remember any of this. Just that often I would fall asleep, and then the next thing I knew, I would be covered in blood and guts. Gods, I remember looking at myself in the mirror after one of those days, I looked nothing like a HERO.
---
theflowermaiden13: What was the Blood Moon raid?
hinataforyou: It was a major clash between the Solaire of the old days and the HEROs that wanted to end them. The era of Solaire that created the LUNAs, of whom were terrorizing the World. They may have been created as mere popcorn spawns, but they were vicious. Strong. Resilient. Less popcorn spawns and more fully-fledged horde bosses. I don't know what the fuck Jan was thinking in creating these.
---
theflowermaiden13: What is the last thing you heard about 4444? Like their status or where they might be?
Luna: ...i don't know. But I'd like to think they're still alive. She was genuinely my only friend while in captivity. I loved her. I didn't even know what the fuck love was ya know? We were all supposed to be together as a happy group of friends, but she was left behind. It's not fair, why the hell was I allowed to leave?
...
Unfortunately, I genuinely don't know. Who the fuck knows, maybe they're closer to me than I could ever expect?
...
...i did remember something about their flower. It was... yellow. She loved those flowers because they matched her hair. Obsessed with them even.
I just... can't remember what flower it was. Maybe... if I knew, I might be able to remember more?
Krystal - Violet, can you think of a yellow flower?
---
theflowermaiden13: Marigolds? Sunflowers? Calendulas?
Luna: ...sunflo-- GAHGNGNGSGKLGGGRAHHHHH
K - LUNES, BREATHE, IN-- OUT.
...
...
..........i remember.. she loved sunflowers,, it was the same color of her hair.. the fact that they would always face towards the sun, as if looking forward and outside. It was our dream to escape Solaire. She admired sunflowers, and the sun. She believed...
K - Direct hit. It's not unlocked. But it appears to be close. You're almost there Violet. Now... how do we connect 4444 to Sunflowers? 4444.. why that number? Isn't it unlucky in some places?
