[The memory starts much further back when Yeager touches it. The despair is palpable, overwhelming in it's feeling, in her failure to save Pinne. In what happens afterward; the rest of her Goddesses leave her alone, unsure of what to do. Because they're the only ones left fighting at this point, but they need their leader somehow. They need to take care of everything that they can, because the mission is important. The mission is everything to them.
Perhaps what's worse is what happens afterward. After the voice message plays, and for a brief moment, Dorothy's look brightens and she's...
...She talks to someone who isn't there. She talks to Pinne, like she's still there. Like her mind hasn't utterly snapped in pursuit of the mission, and nobody says a thing about it for the time being.
The memory stops, and the crystal dims, though it doesn't shatter yet. But this time...something speaks up.]
...Even now. Even now, I can't stop thinking about it. I thought I wanted to change. I thought I wanted to look to the future, why am I still reminded...
[It's Dorothy's voice, but it sounds...strange. Despair filled, truth be told.
But there's another memory. Want to test that one next?]
