Memory - Epilogue: In the Forest・a -Lost in the Forest・a- and Prologue: In the Forest・b -Lost in the Forest・b-
Description: The names "Kino" and "Hermes" are blanked out with static.
Sky and their motorrad are camping in a forest and settling down for the night, with Sky extinguishing the fire and curling up at the foot of a tree for sleep. They talk quietly about traveling; the motorrad explains that motorrads love to run, so being on a journey, which involves running every day, is a lot of fun. However, what reason do humans have for traveling? Sky thinks about it and concludes that most people probably want to experience new tastes and sights and people.
The motorrad then asks why Sky travels, because their persuader skills are such that they could easily have gotten a job in any country, or even with Master. Not only that, but their travels have caused them to be in quite a bit of danger and endure cruel things. Sky responds that maybe they're foolish mess of a human being. However, they find the world and other people's ways of lives to be so beautiful and fantastic, they're all dear to Sky. They want to know more and more about them, so that's why they travel. Even if they have to face sadness and suffering, they don't want to stop. They enjoy doing it so much that even if they have to hurt or kill others, they'd continue traveling. Besides that, they can stop anytime, so they want to keep going.
The motorrad doesn't really get it, and Sky replies that's fine. Maybe Sky doesn't even really get it either. Maybe they're actually just lost and traveling in order to understand it better.

Both then go to sleep.
