Then who is? Surely that threat wasn't an empty promise.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Takes a breath as if to say something, but then tightens my lips, rethinking it*
...Probably you.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

No, it's not.
*Looks at you sternly*
If this really isn't some ploy to waste my time, then you need to understand that you're not with them anymore. Don't hide their secrets.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Not sure what I’d gain from tricking you at this point.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Holds out my hand*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Pulls you up and supports you with your arm over my shoulder*
You just need to promise me you’re not gonna go plowing through any more dimensions when we’re done.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Stands*
It’s not something I just do for fun.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Then it sounds like you weren't in the right job market.
*Opens a portal*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

For all the talk about setting a trap, this could easily be a trap for me.
