Memories
For the event, I just figured I'd list about 3-5 memories for each of mine, and you people can pick and choose which one you see. Actual clips and pictures presented when possible.

Emiri
1. Emiri sees herself as a coward and decides to stand up for the first time.
2. KAZU-SAMA YOUR STEW-- wait what-- oh you're waxing poetry... it's okay I suck more than you do!
3. You don't take Emiri's bracelet. Because she won't stop running and thinks deep thoughts and then BIIIIIIITCH-- I mean KAZU-SAAAMA and all's well that ends well.
4. Emiri stops Gabishi from killing Sano, is very tenacious, and makes a vow. Gabishi praises her for it.
5. Kazu wants to retreat in a fight, Emiri disagrees for the first time ever, and speaks her mind.
6. ... Oops, Emiri runs. But only to grab something and then carry on like she does. Business as usual, and then HOT DAMN.
... Protip, she does catch it with some help from Ikki, but I'm too lazy to link the whole thing.
Hisui
Okay, with Hisui, these are just moments of dialogue, usually between her and Shiki-- or if she's speaking about a memory, it's the actual memory.
1. "…… By serving me, you mean you're a personal servant?"
"Yes. Please do not hesitate to ask anything of me."
"…… Well, I get it. Going by how Akiha was talking about you, it doesn't seem like I can dismiss you, so I'll just obediently let you serve me…"
"Is there anything in particular you would like?"
"Nothing in particular, but could you stop calling me 'Shiki-sama'? To be honest, I get chills down my back when I hear it."
"But Shiki-sama, you are my master."
"That's what I'm saying I hate. I've been living a normal life up until yesterday. I have no desire to start living a life where a girl my age addresses me with '-sama'."
"I see." Hisui's response was less than enthusiastic.
"Just call me Shiki, and in exchange, I'll call you Hisui. Let's do away with the formalities and be more casual with each other."
Still expressionless, Hisui lowers her eyebrows as if she's being troubled.
"But, you are my employer."
"It's not like I'm hiring you. You're the one doing the things I can't, so you're the great one."
"I see." Hisui gives another unenthusiastic reply.
…… It looks like I won't be able to talk her into it in just one day.
"---Anyhow, that's how it is. Don't be so formal towards me. I'll be grateful if you'd tell that to your sister Kohaku-san, too."
"Very well, as you say, Shiki-sama."
Expressionless, Hisui bows her head.
She completely failed to understand.
2. "Oh yeah. Hisui comes every morning to wake me, so it's alright for her to do that.
So... Hisui, could you please wake me up at six-thirty each morning? It would really help me out..."
I swing around to face Hisui.
She stares right back at me.
"I refuse."
"Eh?"
"Forgive me, but I refuse to wake you up, Shiki-sama."
"Well, um--"
I don't know what to say. The shock put my brain on hold.
Looking at the situation, Akiha is also gaping at Hisui in surprise.
"Hisui, why can't you wake up Nii-san?"
"I am unable to undertake things I cannot do.
I do not think I am able to wake up Shiki-sama with my own power."
"-- Unable? Why not?"
I unthinkingly enter their conversation.
Hisui continues staring at me.
"These past three days, all my efforts were fruitless.
Shiki-sama, do you remember how many times I called your name this morning?"
"No, I don't remember-- I woke up from your voice? I thought I woke up by myself..."
"That means there is no memory of me even calling out. -- Akiha-sama, that is the situation."
3. "…… I remember now. Even long ago, you would always do pranks and tease others for no reason. Are you perchance planning on doing something devious like you did back then, Shiki-sama?"
"No, not really. I just wanted to see how your face looked if you were a little distressed, that's all."
"………………"
…… Crap. Why do I blurt out the truth like that?
4. (kid!Hisui trying to coax kid!Shiki outside to play.)
"Why won't you come outside?"
Because there's no one that I know outside. Everyone hates me outside.
"That's not true. Everyone wants to like you, Shiki-kun."
Yes. I knew that, but I couldn't believe it. Because my father went outside, and---
And.
He was torn to pieces.
"…… I see. No wonder you can't trust anyone."
Yeah, that's why I will always stay here. I don't want any more scary things happening.
"But, you will just be by yourself all the time. Being by yourself is no fun."
Even if it's no fun, it is better than being scared.
"That's, that's not fun at all. Then, Shiki-chan, you can believe in me."
…… You say I can believe in you. That's a little backwards. Don't people normally say, "I believe you?"
"It's okay! Shiki-chan, you can trust me and come out!"
…… Fine. But, believe… what should I believe in?
"Simple. Even if everyone hates you, I will still like you, Shiki-chan. Because I like you, I will always come and ask you to play."
...... Is outside, fun?
"Yeah! It's much, much more fun than being by yourself-----!"
5. (What Hisui is describing, is the actual memory people will see, and if you specifically want to see this one, ask me first. SPOILEEERS.)
"…… Then Hisui? You're the one who played with us when we were kids, and Kohaku-san is---the one who was always in the mansion?"
"…………"
"Why……? I don't understand. Just why are the two of you acting like you traded places?"
"…… We never intended to deceive you. I think I became calmer after you were adopted by the Arima family.
Nee-san tried to cheer me up by acting very happy, and then, we gradually traded our roles."
"But why....? Why did it happen....? Hisui... you were always so energetic."
"..... That is not true. I am naturally not very active. But when you were there, I tried to follow you as hard as I could."
"…… But, I never should have done that. Since I took you out into the garden, you had the accident."
I---all I could do was watch in fear as you were killed before my eyes. All I could do was stare at your blood-soaked body. I couldn't even cry, or call for help.
…… Since that time, I was unable to understand myself. No matter how I tried, I could not remember how I acted, or how I smiled."
"…… When you were dying, I could not do anything. I could only watch. It was as if I was just a doll.
So---I thought… that maybe it would be better if I was just a doll. Maybe I put a curse on myself.
Before I knew it, I became silent just like Nee-san. …… Nee-san took my place, doing the work I could not do, smiling because I could not."
Judith
First meetings are memorable when you become BFFs and brawling buddies within minutes.
... Judith is hardcore.
... So hardcore she seduces guards.
From 5:25 to 6:30, approximately. SPOILERS.
From 3:13 to 8:09. MORE SPOILERS.
Judith finally FULLY clears things up and shows what she's willing to do. SPOILERS YET AGAIN.
Kazuha
HEIJI YOU ARE A HORRIBLE FRIEND.
2:40 to 3:55. Middle-schooler Kazuha is a much better friend, really. :(
3:07 to 5:20 for background, although Kazuha's memory is mainly going to be of when she wakes up. Oh the joys of being involved in murder mysteries.
... I really just love this clip. :(
Up until about 5:10. In which Kazuha and Ran are... very very impulsive and very very violent. :( Their hearts are in the right place, really!!
... Okay, there's more being impulsive here, but this time Heiji started it. :( although I still lol over the part where Heiji sounds like Donald Duck
