<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

I don't know! The only thing I can tell you is that we're in overwhelming danger right now!

@Memory

Alright then... is she alright though?

*I point to Misty uncomfortably without realising just how much my healing powers that were gifted by the Tessereact helped!*

And......... lemme tell yah... I K N O W!!!

*I gesticulate spectacularly as if everyone could know the details of the dangers we are all in right now!*

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I’m reasonably confident the system would have rejected any ambiguity thereof. Its nature is to defend the lab as I would have.

@System

You said Prism helped with it too?

[Unhinged]

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

If necessary I can catch up to her. I cannot tire out.

@Zealz

That is equal parts impressive and terrifying to imagine.

@Shadrack Nor

*Cranes my neck to face you with a sternness to my tone unlike anything I've said up to this point*
There are worse fates than death. She's going to have to work through whatever it is that she just saw, and we do not want to be on the other side of that.

@Valiance

Prism likely gave Akora instructions on how to manually activate the defense system. He's not a target right now.

*Through a hushed voice*
Please don't hate me...

@Techspert

I could never hate you, Dawn. What's on your mind?

[Threads of Fate]

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

...You're late.

@Etcetera

Oh, you can speak, huh?

[Etcetera]

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

@Threads of Fate

To you.
*Stands up and crosses my arms*
Aren't you proud? I live like you taught me. I do just what I want to do, when I want to do it.

@Yatagarasu

*Stands up, walks in front of Stella, and takes a deep breath*
You're a hypocrite!

@Etcetera

Except telling people what you want to tell them. Though if you must know, yes, somewhat.
*Taps a finger to my head*
You turned out really well.
*Flicks my finger away from me*
My being here right now is about the only flaw, really.

@System

Things are getting out of hand as the problem cascades into a waterfall of more problems that touch more people…

@Legend

Everything comes naturally to you Stella; I was so excited to finally find something where we could be equals, and maybe even be a little bit better for a while. But NO! You so couldn't stand the idea of me being better than you at one thing that you had to go and cheat to beat me! At a video game! With all your talk about how a Cloud should be this or a Cloud should be that, you're being a real sorry excuse for one! Is a Cloud someone who skips working hard to get what they want? Someone who undercuts their own family just for a few dumb points? If the only way for you to feel important is to go and use your eyes to beat a blind girl who's better than you, that's not impressive, it's not cool, it's just pathetic!

@Threads of Fate

So what was the point? What did you get out of me, and what do I get out of this dead life?

@Valiance

Prism hasn't been introduced to the elements, has he?

No!
*My head instinctively motions toward dad for just a moment of hesitation before returning to you*
Sh—shut up! You can be better at this game than me. You can be a better Cloud than me. I don't care. You know why, Stella? I'm a better person than you.
*Storms off to my room and slams the door*
