This article is about the Memokeeper NPC. For the Dreamscape Pass Sticker featuring the NPC Go-Ray, see Messenger (Dreamscape Pass Sticker).
Messenger is an NPC aboard the Astral Express, located in Parlor Car upon approaching the Forgotten Hall Mirror.
Profile[]
Messenger is a Memokeeper for the Garden of Recollection, with the ability to avoid perception and erase others' memories. She's a stern follower of regulations, not willing to bend the Garden of Recollections rules or plans.[3]
Appearance[]
Messenger wears a bright blue holographic mask with a crystallized pattern that covers her face, along with a white and blue hood over her head. She dons a white, knee-length sleeveless dress with black accents and two pairs of black and dark blue gloves, with the right glove extending past her elbow. Additionally, she has a pair of black open-toe heels with blue accents.
History[]
Messenger quietly boarded the Astral Express and offered to trade precious supplies for the Trailblazer's memories through the Forgotten Hall. She didn't reveal herself and the Forgotten Hall mirror to other members of the Astral Express Crew. If the Trailblazer told their crewmates about her, she erases their memory and scolds the Trailblazer.[3]
When March 7th sought to recover her lost memory with the help of Fu Xuan and the Matrix of Prescience Ultima, Messenger appeared and prevented their efforts, claiming that everything she did was for the protection of March 7th. Knowing that March 7th is truly set on learning about her past, the Messenger showed her origin and gifted her the Light Cone March 7th's "Origin".[4]

Dialogue[]
- Messenger: Do you want to enter the Forgotten Hall?
Enter the Forgotten Hall.
- (Open Forgotten Hall)
- Enter "Priceless Jewels."
- (Open shop)
- I wish to ask you...
- Messenger: Sure, ask away.
- About Fuli and the Garden of Recollection...
- Messenger: I'll try to answer to the best of my abilities!
- Tell me about Fuli the Remembrance.
- Messenger: I can give you the memories related to the Aeon, Fuli...
- The girl waved her hand, as if tossing a small pebble that caused the water surface to keep rippling. You suddenly remember—
- Fuli, the Aeon on the Path of Remembrance, preserves the precious memories of a dying universe for its eventual rebirth... Here, the memories abruptly come to an end.
- Messenger: That's all I have. I don't have the honor of keeping the experience of seeing the Aeon, Fuli with my own eyes.
- Tell me about the Garden of Recollection.
- Messenger: Huh? I thought I already told you about that. You really are forgetful.
- You suddenly remember what the girl had said, and the words begin ringing in your ears—
- Messenger: Garden of Recollection is an organization that worships the Aeon Fuli. As a messenger for the Remembrance, we surrendered our worldly bodies and traverse the universe in the form of memes to search the stars on behalf of Fuli for the most precious memories.
- Messenger: Do you remember now?
- What is the purpose of collecting memories?
- Messenger: "The disappearance of those with form will inevitably bring about the obliteration of those without."
- Messenger: Look at the galaxy. After the incident with the Antimatter Legion, civilizations are like dying embers in the wind. Many worlds wither and crumble even without Nanook's influence. It is unacceptable to allow the memories of civilizations to simply vanish.
- Messenger: That is why Garden of Recollection has decided to collect and safe keep their memories. Once the crisis ends, the fragments of these memories will shape a blueprint of rebirth for everything that has disappeared.
- I'd like to ask about something else...
- About you...
- Messenger: Me?
- What does it feel like to lose your physical body?
- Messenger: It's more relaxing, and freer.
- With each of the girl's words, you feel heavier, sluggish, and tired. Your body is a shell caste from concrete and its movements are as slow as a snail, as slow as an era gradually passing by...
- Messenger: I don't have to worry about the cold, heat, pain, hunger, flesh wounds, or solar storms — I'm not human anymore.
- Messenger: Without a material body, I don't have adrenaline, oxytocin, dopamine, or anything that causes different emotions in people. This allows me to judge human thought and desire with an even more neutral position. You can say that I'm another step closer to having free will.
- Messenger: Of course, there is a price for the convenience — the price is that I rely on the memories of others to move around. Erm... And would you consider this kind of existence to be free?
- The girl suddenly enters a state of deep contemplation.
- Are you able to read other people's memories?
- Messenger: Yes. I'm only able to move around due to the memories of others. Every time I appear, move, or disappear, it means I'm reading someone's memories.
- Messenger: But you don't have to worry about me peeping, stealing, or controlling your memories. Memokeepers have undergone rigorous training. Anything we do that goes against the rules will result in the immediate termination of our existence.
- Messenger: Although some Memosnatchers can bypass the restrictions... Um, I'm not one of them!
- What do you actually look like?
- Messenger: Are you curious about what I look like under this mask? Hmph... Then bring me enough memories to exchange for it!
- I'd like to ask about something else...
- About my memories...
- Messenger: Mhm, go ahead.
- Are you able to restore my lost memories?
- Messenger: Are you.. testing me?
- Messenger: No, that's forbidden. I'm a rule-abiding Memokeeper. I refuse!
- Why are my memories precious?
- Messenger: You're a receptacle for a Stellaron! You're able to survive and even wield its power...
- Messenger: The Garden of Recollection is very interested in what kind of a past, future, and influence on the universe someone like this will have.
- Why am I the only one who remembers you?
- Messenger: I'm sorry, but I've restricted others from having memories of me.
- Messenger: Everyone has a unique memory of themselves and everything around them. In order to keep that uniqueness and pureness unspoiled, let's keep our dealings a secret.
- I'd like to ask about something else...
- I don't have any more questions.
- No, goodbye.

Trivia[]
- Huohuo can vaguely sense the existence of the Messenger and mirror as an "invisible presence."[5]
- When Black Swan first boarded the Astral Express and spoke to Pom-Pom and Dan Heng, she looked at the mirror in the Parlor Car and assumed the Astral Express Crew already knew the Messenger, not knowing that the Crew's memory had been erased.[6]

Black Swan: My apologies, conductor. It was an oversight on my part. I assumed you were already acquainted with the Garden... Given the chaotic situation in Penacony, the Nameless are the only ones we can truly trust right now.
