All the more reason to share it, then. Share your burdens with your teammates, Wolf.

[retellers]

[ you're not their real dad ]

... You first.

[ shiro already said it for the other way but sharing is bad ]

[lionson]

Fiiiine, I'll go first.

I remembered one of my co-workers, Shura. I was the one who found her and brought her to the Order I work for, but I had forgotten all of that. Everything involving her was a blur up until she had graduated and was an exorcist already. But now I can remember the whole thing again.

[retellers]

... That a good thing, then?

[lionson]

I'd say neutral. We've known each other for ages now, but she's got a lot of trouble to deal with and I wasn't exactly friendly to her back then. I could've been nicer.

[retellers]

You weren't friendly?

[ with a mild emphasis on the you ]

[lionson]

I know it might be hard to believe, but there was a time in my life where I was a huge asshole to everyone and burnt bridges left and right.

[retellers]

Doesn't sound like a very fitting attitude for a priest.

[lionson]

Yeah, it really wasn't. Luckily I got old and calmed down.

So, what about your memory. What did you remember?

[retellers]

[ . . . They hesitate before sighing. ]

There might be a way to bring back the people who were removed from the Realm. But it's tied to each team.

[lionson]

[Oho. He perks up at that.]

How would it work for your team?

[retellers]

[ ... They sigh ]

The nova gathered from killing people is... different. It's not more or better, but it's a different kind. Not sure how to explain it. A team gets enough of that, and they can bring back who they've lost on theirs.

[lionson]

...

Wouldn't that just result in most people dying eventually?

[retellers]

Did tell you it was a shitty memory. [ they cross their arms ] It's "only" two kills per team, but...

[ how they gonna count it. ]

[lionson]

"only" two kills. And I know Cater was from our team, so that's at least one death to make up for.

[retellers]

Two total. It'd be two kills to bring any number of deaths back. Theoretically.

[lionson]

So, each team needs to kill twice, and that will bring everyone back? In theory?

[retellers]

In theory. [ they shake their head ] Might end up needing more than that, and then what?

[lionson]

I guess if we get stuck in a cycle of death and revival that won't help with the nova problem, yeah?

...speaking of nova, I heard rumors about the deaths here being because people's nova was splintering. Is that true?

[retellers]

... I've heard about it, but only from other participants. If there's any splintering happening, I haven't noticed, and none of the other Leaders have owned up to it.

[lionson]

I was told Cater's nova was splintering, and that another Leader told someone from their team to kill Cater for it. It seems kinda weird to me, that someone else would notice but her own team leader wouldn't.

[retellers]

[ ... There's a sigh ]

Yeah.

[ they got nothing else?? ]

[lionson]

...Wolf. Did you notice, or did you not notice?

[retellers]

I can't confirm or deny the dead teams, it counts as a team hint.

[ they're dying here. ]

[lionson]

[WOLF PLZ]

Just tell me who to kill and don't put that shit on any kids on our team, got it?
