… If I take your advice, I’d better not regret it.

@Melodious

With your skill, certainly you can change your decision at any time.

<Snipped quote by System>

Do they deserve to be?

@Melodious

One does, no doubt. The other, I can't say for certain. But my contacts claim he does.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I was paying attention to other things. But I knew there has been fighting outside for a minute. Upstairs and in the villa.

@Melodious

I'm not convinced either of them is dead, unfortunately.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

What happened upstairs when you figured out who that was?

@Melodious

Combat ensued. Did you sense the resulting explosion?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

You’re here with one, I see. And your intention in coming here wasn’t to hunt me down? Like I’m assuming was done with the people I sealed in said previous chamber.

@Melodious

We’ve been ignorant of exactly what or who has been involved since the beginning. Now we understand who, but do not know why or how.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

… Go on.

@Melodious

Akora, a girl in the previous chamber, would be your best initial contact.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Inhales and remains silent for a moment*
And you know them well enough to say that’s a possibility with confidence?

@Melodious

I do not. But I know of three you can likely trust.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

To my understanding, it’s a shoot first kind of ordeal. So I didn’t think so, before.
…
But, maybe it’s lucky for me that you’re my first encounter then.

@Melodious

You’re not the only entity who has caught the attention of the element users. Perhaps if you were to aid in tracking down the other, they would be more receptive to your cause.

<Snipped quote by System>

*Speaks with abhorrent disgust over the concept of what I say*
And sit in a prison while they take their time trying to determine if I'm actually okay? I'd rather die. They'll learn eventually, with or without having to "study me".
*Shivers*

@Melodious

Surely middle ground exists.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Tilts my head as though I am listening to someone*
Because they assume I am illegitimate. Which is apparently a fair assumption, but I'm not unworthy. I'm just "Unmarked".

@Melodious

If that outcome is what you seek, then why would you not cooperate? Reason with them?
