Her Forgotten Story

I'm not sure how long it's been since I finished making this bubble garden inside Gluttony. A month, maybe? (I sometimes forget to keep track of the days, so it's not exact.) What can I do now... How can I let them know that I'm still here? What if Cinderella or Abe is in danger? What if the mission to climb the Lift failed? What if that thing is still out there in space, forever a looming threat? Is there any way to help them? Is there really nothing I can do? Lately, that's all I've been thinking about.

I think I've found something I can do. I sent out a few bubbles into the expanse, and while investigating Gluttony's insides, I discovered what seems to be a sort of breathing hole that opens once a week. Perhaps I can send out bubbles from there and let everyone know that I'm here. There might still be a way for me to help. Right. The bubbles should work. Abe is the one who gave them to me, after all. I should try sending one up as a test today.

After successfully sending a bubble up to the surface, I've decided to create more of them in the workshop. There are two things these bubbles need to do. First: Let my friends know that I'm inside Gluttony. Second: Create a sheltering screen of some kind to help keep my friends away from the gaze of that thing, which might still be out there. Given my current situation and strength, it'd be impossible for me to defeat that thing alone. So, just like how I created a bubble veil to shield myself from Gluttony's core, I will make a massive membrane to hide Cinderella, Abe, and everyone else from that thing so they can't be found. If I know Cinderella and Abe, they'll definitely find a way to defeat that thing, so even if something terrible happens to them, someone else will be able to defeat i... (smudged by tears). No. They're alive. I have to believe that. What I need to do is buy them some time. This is how I can help everyone!

I succeeded in creating a bubble that looks like Cinderella, which will be the first bubble I send to the surface. I used energy extracted from Gluttony's silver liquid as the building material. (I never thought Gluttony's silver liquid could be used in so many ways. Guess there's truth to the saying, "He who creates a poison also has the cure.") I designed it so that when this doppelganger meets the real Cinderella on the surface, it will reach out to her. If it's the Cinderella I know, I'm sure she'll reach out and hold its hand. Then it will become a bubble and lead her back to where I am. To Gluttony. If that happens, I'm positive I will be able to see them again. I imbued it with a Kotodama that will cause it to dissolve and become a bubble cloud if it meets no one after half a year. When those clouds congregate, they will form a giant veil that will render them invisible to the Queen. I hope this plan succeeds. Even if I'm digested by Gluttony one day and disappear into a mass of bubbles, I hope I'll have done my part to help save the world.
