[he supports her anger and he just...seems to be waiting.]

...you think maybe it won't answer because I'm here?

[retellers]

Maybe? Also, it doesn't really talk like that.

[reconnective]

Oh yeah. The whole...weird thought thing where it talks in your head. Right?

[retellers]

Yeah. It's.......weird.

[ she got nothing else there. ]

[reconnective]

Kinda sounds uncomfortable. There's no other way to do it?

[retellers]

We get the PHS messages too, but that's about as helpful as it is for you guys...

[reconnective]

Do you guys get the same ones we do, too? Or are yours really different?

[retellers]

Well... We get the same creepy songs you guys do, and we get notified when you reach a new nova threshold...

[reconnective]

...so the creepy songs are just the Realm? Isn't it kind of weird that it seems like it has a personality?

[retellers]

I don't know. I hate those songs, it's like... creepy ghosts or something.

[reconnective]

Do you think maybe they are ghosts? Like people lost to the Realm before?

[retellers]

[ D: she burrows her face in Sora's shoulder ] Ughhh don't say that. That's so freaky. No! People aren't supposed to exist in the Realm, so it's fine!

[reconnective]

[he lets this happen.]

...but aren't we in the Realm, Swan?

[retellers]

Well, yeah, but we keep saying the Realm isn't meant for us. That's why we're holding it together.

[reconnective]

You don't think there was something else holding the Realm together before we got here...?

[retellers]

Well, it works fine on its own. It's the monster and people that make it all weird. Like adding an invasive species.

[reconnective]

So it's just more reason to remove the monster. Have you guys been able to find out anything else about it?

[retellers]

Nothing much. Just... devouring nova, somewhere out there, disrupting everything.

[reconnective]

Where even is "out there" though? Somewhere outside of where the bridge can connect?

[retellers]

Yeah. It's like... The Realm is an ocean, and that bridge is a boat?

[reconnective]

Then why can't we figure out how to take the boat and navigate to find this thing? I know you might not have an answer, but if you know it's there there has to be a way we can track it.

[retellers]

... It's more like the rest of the Realm is below the ocean? That kind of big. If we open it all up at once, it'd swallow us, which is why we're working to pinpoint the location before we do anything rash.

[reconnective]

So where we are now is like the tip of the iceberg. Something like that?

[retellers]

... Kiiiinda? Ugh, I'm getting lost in these metaphors.

[reconnective]

You and me both. Maybe we should just talk about something else.
