I know not how else to describe what we went through—they were... moments of this city's past. Surely, encountering those– [ People? ] –things in the cave was yet another memory...
I have made it out with a piece of that past, as well. Though it was but a memory—or... I can only assume so—it was as though we were living those days for true.
No, I owe you a more thorough explanation. Where to begin, I am not certain, but... When we vanished here, the four of us came to upon a ship. Or shall I say—the selfsame ship you and I had ventured into earlier this week.
Forgive me, for I cannot exactly say. I had spent the majority of my time there below the deck—but if you wish to know, either Power or Suigetsu could likely best answer.
Oh, there was plenty of cargo, for certain, but if you wish to hear more than that, I'm afraid I have little to provide. Soon after, the ship crashed into the city as its barrier went up, and it plummeted down into the sea, to right where we now stand.

[... He nods, bringing the cigarette to his lips.]

And... You do recall the thought that a massive beast struck the ship, yes?

[He may have been dismissive of that hypothesis the first time it was posited. But this time, Alphinaud's got his full attention.]

The town being what was Krankaz, ere it sank into the sea.

What... was the monster like?

I see. What did you see from below deck, then?
