THE MEMORY
This memory begins with black mist rising all around the party at Mirage Palace (it's from Solon's body but I'm blotting that out), rendering them unable to move! The mist forms the shape of a person, whom he will (not in the memory but in present time) recognize as Schwartz:
???: It's been a long time, Grune.
Grune: Do I know you?
???: You still haven't regained your memory?
Grune: Do you know me?
???: As you know me, so I know you.
Grune: So, I know you, too?
???: It matters not if you have no memory. Continue to walk the path to destruction.
After some more vague and threatening talk, she attacks Grune and disappears, leaving the party to tend to Grune's wounds and return to Werites Beacon. Where she is still out cold! The party discusses Schwartz and her connection to the black-mist voices they've all heard:
Jay: The voice I heard sounded similar as well.
Norma: I figured I was just hearing things since I was so exhausted.
Chloe: That voice makes me...sad. Miserable. Dark.
Norma: Yeah, it felt terrible. All of a sudden, I just felt like giving up.
Chloe: My heart sank, and it felt like I was being backed into a corner.
Senel: It seems pretty certain that she's linked to the black mist.
Jay wonders aloud whether Grune could be connected with the black mist, to which Norma and Moses react with a kind of indignation. Then they all go see Grune who is waking up, and also talking to a summon spirit they can't see! She reveals that the woman's name is Schwartz, but that she doesn't know anything else, and, uh:
Grune: I feel like I'm really close to remembering everything. I just can't seem to get it. Oh, dear, what a pickle.
Shirley: You'd never know she was upset by the tone of her voice.
Grune: And so, I have a favor to ask.
Norma: What do you mean, "and so"?! Where did that come from?!
Grune: I'd really like to see Schwartz again.
Moses: But she attacked you.
Grune: I have a feeling my memory will come back if I can just meet her.
Jay: She severely injured you.
Grune: Maybe we can become friends this time.
Yes. She is always like this. Anyway, eventually the party decides that they can't refuse her request, especially if it means finding out more about the black mist, and Grune, who can sense Schwartz now, tells them she's at the Bridge.
WHAT HE LEARNED
I THINK HE ALREADY KNEW PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THIS. The main points are more reinforcement of Schwartz's connection to the black mist, some more information about how she worked on people/their shadows, how deeply Grune was connected to Schwartz . . . it's also notable that the mist was already such a threat that they basically walked into certain danger to find out more about it.
Totally new information: that he's been visited by Schwartz at some point, and (to his knowledge) possibly taken over by it.
EFFECTS
OH GRUNE. This is also more information to puzzle over wrt "is the black mist Darkness?"
