It is one of my side projects.

Perhaps who escapes you, but I find it hard to believe you have no suspicions of why.

I mean... he said it was a test, right? For the angel.

So he musta wanted the angel to do something. But, like... that coulda been about anything.

...you said it's your side project, yeah? What do you think? About, like - who it was, and what they wanted?

As for who I can’t even begin to guess. I hardly know the players in the demon’s court. I have only heard of them in book and by word of mouth. Oh, I suppose there was that one portrait.

Can you tell me more about this angel? How do you know them?

He's just... a good guy, y'know?

Kinda loud, kinda fighty, but... still a good guy. I don't even know all that much about him, besides that.

That's another thing I don't get. Why me and Nem, y'know? Like - we ain't nobody.

You’ve met him, have you not? That would be reason enough. I doubt many others have.

Where did you meet him?

Why's that matter?

You have leverage. Do you not see that? Would it no be sanctioned by the Production, they would have put a stop to it. Their power all but absolute. I doubt they would want any others to interfere with their carefully selected pawns.

Well... it ain't like it's gonna happen again, anyway. Not after how the broadcast ended up.

You don't believe it will return?

Who, the angel? Not if he's smart about it. He knows how it went last time, right?

Best thing he can do is steer clear.

What beings do and what is in their best interest do not always align.

And you did dodge the question. You never answered where you met him.

For real, dude, how come you keep asking?

It's over and done with. He's gone, and he's better off wherever he is now.

Do not treat me as a fool. It is rather insulting.

This place we are brought is an elaborate game, is not? To fully understand it is to understand all the pieces. You have contact with one, but seem reluctant to speak of it. That alone makes the information valuable, would you not agree?

You ain't the dumb one. I just... let him down before, y'know?

Cause I wasn't careful enough. Even if that stuff doesn't matter now... like you said, it's leverage. They say the dorms're safe for sharing info, but who even knows? All we got's their word that they don't got cameras in here.

So... I better not say. Sorry, dude.

Then why are you even entertaining this conversation? You could have let it lie.

For good or for ill, this event has been associated with you. Wishing it wasn't will not change this fact. Would be in your best interest to determine what stance you will take. Others might not be so kind as I.

What do you mean, determine what stance I'll take?

To you, knowledge has been found for whatever reason you stumbled upon it. Your actions determine the outcome of what happens to said knowledge. Have you shared it with others? Or do you hope by bottling it so close to your chest it will disappear like a bad dream?

'Tis the stance I'm referring to.

[He's quiet for a beat.]

...what would you do? If it was you?

Speak of it to no one and horde the information until it could be used as a bargaining chip. To scheme and to plan.

But I am not you, nor do I imagine our goals are similar in the slightest.

...yeah? What're your goals?

The Great Rejoining and revival of His grace, Zodiark.

[A frown.]

Ah, did I not tell you I was suffering some effects from after the game. Do tread carefully on what you ask.

Ah - sorry, dude.

If you don't wanna talk serious business stuff, we don't gotta.

It's irritating but not impossible. Just be cautious of the subjects.

Yeah... okay.

I'll try and steer clear of that one.

If you wouldn't mind. Not that I try to hide it terribly much, but 'tis and emotionally exhausting topic. And I've already had to explain it once today.

Ah, but back to you and your friend gone hiding. Have you made an answer for yourself?
