Ever since the defeat of Prime, you had been missing, presumably dead. It had already been a month, and most everyone was already convinced. However, when you reappeared in Brightmoon, everyone was just happy to have you back. What had happened was that one of Prime's Clones had tried to chip you, but the chip they hsd was a defect. You had been in hiding, and only managed to find your way back now. After explaining this, everyone finished cornering you with questions and hugs. You noticed that Mermista wasn't there. You asked Perfuma, and Perfuma said she was in her room moping, as always.

You entered her room, and when she saw you, she dropped the tub of ice-cream and grabbed your shoulders.

Mermista: "You idiot! Where in Eternia have you been?! Do you know how worried everyone was?!"
