Chapter 22, pages 5-8 here for a higher resolution.

❚ what Chelsea learns ➙

● Her real (first) name
● She, along with the rest of this group, is part of a revolutionary army. They apparently stand in opposition to a place called the Capital and are currently hiding out in the wilderness until a suitable place for a new hideout has been found. Out of the entire group, only Akame and Mein's names are learned in this memory besides her own.
● Vague knowledge of Danger Beasts and Teigu, in that they (whatever they actually are) exist and have significance. There's also background knowledge of Margue Plateau and the flying creature (Air Manta), as already detailed in the pages above.
● She has a reputation for being very, very skilled at.....murder! Much more so than her attitude or appearance would suggest.
● She's a newcomer to this group, and that is a readily apparent feeling throughout the memory. She trusts these people, as they share the same goal and will be working together under dangerous conditions, but behind her casual smile and idle teasing is a level-headed, somewhat distant appraisal.

❚ what this means ➙

○ Chelsea will be taking cues from this memory to be outwardly friendly (especially in the sense of being quick to tease and using honey rather than vinegar to get her way) but inwardly paranoid, wary, and aloof.
○ Letting complete strangers know that you have the capacity, talent, and reputation for murder seems like an enormously stupid idea, so she'll be lying through her teeth about the contents of this memory up to and including her real name.
○ While a rather informative memory to start out with, compared to others, it raises more questions than it answers. Why is she a killer, working with a group of fellow killers? Why are these people, her included, apparently against this Capital?
○ What the actual shit is going on??? help
