lavi will receive a memory of a dear friend, someone who had lost himself to darkness. she will turn her weapon against him, and she will fall into darkness to save him. (2:42:23 - 2:45:02, or 2:46:25)! ]
It's similar, and very different from fighting an Akuma, from fighting his own friends. This time, he's seeing it from the other side, from someone who hasn't lost herself, determinedly on, trying to reach someone precious to her.
It's how it ends that makes him look at her, wide-eyed, once the memory ends.]

[ she fishes into a sleeve and holds out her wayfinder charm for him to see. ]
This was one of the few things I had with me in the darkness. I'd made matching charms for my best friends, too, before we left home.
