Has anyone ever lost one of their tethers?

Not find them broken or destroyed, just lose them.

The information on our devices says losing one would plunge me into a Harrowing, but that didn't happen. At least, not that I know of. But it's just gone. Completely gone.

[ omg pls hibiki ]

Yes, though it's been a while since we've traveled together.

[ pls ask Lumine to tell her more? :D ]

I haven't even been out of Japan and you're going to distant worlds
I bet you have all kinds of interesting stories from your travels together

and will once we all put this place behind us

Japan? Is that what your world is called?

[ and then, there's also earth ... hm. they sound very familiar, truth be told. ]

I won't deny that I do, though a lot of the stories I know of are similar from place to place.
If we ever meet up in person, I can tell you a few if you like.

Japan is just a country. think of it like a kingdom or a nation
the world I come from is Earth
and before you say anything, there's a lot of us from Earth here but not all the same version
or universe? reality?? who even knows

really?? I'd like that! ❤️
only I don't know who to look for...

You could think of them as leaves growing on the same tree.
The tree spreads its branches out into different universes and will grow leaves that are similar but still different from each other.

[ or well, that's the easiest way to explain it. ]

It's all right, I'll look for you instead.
This world isn't very big compared to the last one I've been to.

[ That's so poetic what ]

I know there are stories about world trees connecting different realms on Earth
I never would've thought of that for the Earths themselves! I like that!

it's not but I'm kind of short
you might end up missing me depending on where you look

[ Does she think that's going to get anon to reveal themself? Absolutely not. But it doesn't hurt to try. ]

Stories of world trees are more common than you think.

[ which only tells a person the existence of such stories. after all, they're always rooted in some kind of truth. ]

Oh?
Then I'll be able to find you more quicker.
