Urrrrrgh... this is bad.
N-Naru, I think I know what happened. And if I'm right, then we've got bigger problems to worry about.
[NPC] NaruYou think this is another ability of Black Naru's?
Deff'nitely... You mentioned everything jumping around as if we all teleported from one spot to another. I think what happened is we've forgotten the last five... no, ten minutes of the fight.
[NPC] NaruForgotten? Like our memories were altered?
Exactly. Know what this is?
Rollback Magnum
One of the pistols Ai carries with her. No one is sure what kind of ammunition it uses.
My Rollback Magnum. When used on ordinary objects and people, it acts like a regular caster gun, but with one exception. When you hit someone in the head, it removes their memories and stores them in Synapse Magazines that are ejected from the gun's chamber. And right now I see two magazines at my feet.
Synapse Magazine
A memory card-like object ejected from Ai's Rollback Magnum. They contain the memories erased by the Rollback Magnum. Like all abstract artifacts, they are indestructible.
That can only mean I must have fired at you before or after firing on myself. There are a few seconds of dizziness after being hit, so either possibility could be true.
[NPC] NaruBut why would you do that?!
I wouldn't. Not unless I had a good reason to. Just to be safe, let's assume this is connected to Black Naru's ability. Somehow, she made me fire on each of us. Knowing her, she might have tried to use my own gun against me, but because the blow wasn't lethal, she found it safe to use it on you. Thanks to the confusion, Black Naru could be hiding anywhere right now. She could have even gone back to the Gemini World. Either way, be careful. Keep an eye out for when she shows herself.
Oh, one more thing. I need you to hold onto this.

Ai's time machine. Uses Zeitgeist Archival Technology to travel through time periods. The actual time machine is encased in the shell of a portable video game system. There's enough memory space to hold a few emulator programs as well.
