Krystal - Alais? Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
ALAIS - I do, but it makes no sense.
As far as I'm aware, it should not exist. And yet, it does.
A contradiction to what we know.
A Mental Lock in the weirdest location.
Hinata - Huh?
ALAIS - It's connected to the nightmare you had last night.
Hinata - The... what? I didn't have a nightmare?
ALAIS - ???
Hinata - Plus! I wasn't deemed important enough to have Mental Locks when I was born! Created! Whatever!
I don't have company secrets, so why would I have Mental Locks?
ALAIS - Unknown. But I'm looking into your mind right now, and we both see one.
Hinata - WHAT?! What the hell would I even have a Mental Lock about?
ALAIS - Unknown. I am not sensing any hint towards one. Perhaps a forgotten memory, perhaps a topic that reminded you of something.
Hinata - ?????? But! I know everything! I was created by January Solaire on Jan 1, 1993, my soul’s source is unimportant probably but I am Sunriser, half of Eclipse Blade. I am the Concept of the Sun. I'm 5'10, 150lbs. I don't know what my three sizes are, or even what that means, but I keep seeing it in manga. I was cryo frozen for a decade. I woke up in Meridian and dyed my hair blonde because i hated my brown hair. Got my red streak after being killed by that one prick last year! I dyed it myself! I haven't died since, I have two awesome girlfriends and am now a Naomi! My bra size is--
ALAIS - Whoa whoa whoa, let’s not spoil all of your secrets! Hrm. None of that unlocked it.
Krystal - That’s really strange. Could it be a Hyperlock?? A critical secret.
Hinata - WHAT?? No! That can’t be! I-- know everything about me! Why… why now???
Krystal - I'm sorry.
Patrice - Uh... Not good time?
Hinata - No no, I’m just… struggling here. What’s up?
Patrice - No, nothing, just saw things moving out of the corner of my eyes and go "Sounds concerning".
Hinata - …you’re telling me.
Patrice - Assuming a Hyperlock will be quite a bit more painful to unlock than a normal Lock, there's a mildly concerning idea that someone in Nova locked it, and mid-attack, they can unlock it, and debilitate you.
ALAIS - While I cannot deny the possibility, I do not see any tampering from Nova or otherwise. And yes, unfortunately, 'hyperlocks' are much more painful than normal Mental Locks.
Hinata - Great. So shall we just rip the bandage off now?
Patrice - I mean... if we know what we're looking for. Assuming you did have a nightmare last night, as Ally said, and it's what brought this Hyperlock up, might be a good time to sit down and try and remember what happened in that dream.
ALAIS - I will attempt to process the Nightmare Log, just a few minutes please.
Hinata - I.. okay! I remember a weird dream, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a nightmare???
Patrice - That's fair. The dream-nightmare scale is subjective, after all.
ALAIS - Okay, it's processed. It is time to finally break through Hinata's HYPERLOCK.
