...right. And we need to make sure we don't focus on the first suspicious thing we see, too. Even if someone is acting really [shady] stubborn.

[retellers]

I have no clue what that kid was thinking. [ they lift a hand towards their mask like they have a headache ] Even if not now, this might have happened later anyway, if he didn't change his attitude.

[dawnblushed]

I don't understand it, either. I tried to talk to him yesterday, but - what he said then, and what he did today... it's just made me more confused.

[retellers]

[ ... sighs ]

Faced with that kind of death, I don't know that I wouldn't want to keep fighting, too.

[dawnblushed]

I can't blame him or anyone for wanting to fight. It's just - he told me yesterday that his death was something he could accept, so... I didn't expect him to act the way he did.

Maybe he was just trying to act tough when he said that.

[retellers]

Accepting death's not as easy as just saying it. It's a different thing when you actually face it.

[dawnblushed]

[virid accepted it pretty well though]

...mhm. There's that, too.

I guess it's just... Fighting for your life is one thing. But trying to survive by stabbing someone in the back... I think I would have fought if it was me, too, but...

[she sighs.]

...I don't know. Part of me feels like I should be angry because of how he did it, but I can't really be angry that he did it. It's normal to want to live.

[retellers]

Fighting with honor isn't always an option. Sometimes you take the opportunities you get.

[ they look towards the inn for a second ]

Do you want to be angry, or is it just that you feel you should be?

[dawnblushed]

...it's that I am angry, but I don't feel like I'm angry at the right person, I guess.

[she sighs again.]

Sorry. I know this isn't making a lot of sense.

[retellers]

This whole place doesn't make sense. [ it's blunt ] So who do you want to be mad at? The actual killers? Or what's causing all of this?

[dawnblushed]

Whatever it is that disturbed the nova in the first place. ...not since we arrived here, but - whatever caused the problem that made the Realm decide to bring us here.

[retellers]

[ oh ]

Seems like it's some kind of being that devours memories.

[dawnblushed]

I want to punch it in the stomach and make it spit them back up.

[retellers]

[ that nets her a little quirk of their lips ]

When we manage to locate it, you'll be the first invited.

[dawnblushed]

Good! I'll be counting on that.

[retellers]

But I've got first dibs before that.

[dawnblushed]

Fine, but I'll be right behind you!

[retellers]

I don't doubt that. [ there's a pause ] I'll be in town again starting tomorrow, so any further work on locating it falls on these three.

[dawnblushed]

[


hm.]

Are they going to be okay?

[retellers]

[ ....... ]

Well, it's not physical location, they'll still be in the castle. So they'll be fine.

[dawnblushed]

...that's good, but that's also not exactly what I meant.

[retellers]

They know how to do their job. Theoretically.

[ wolf don't talk shit ]

[dawnblushed]

You don't sound very sure about that.

[retellers]

They let the kid go out with scalpels.

[ they're so tired, yona. ]

[dawnblushed]

...yeah, that was pretty stupid.
