Mmm, this is true. Hopefully before another death occurs.
[Another hum]
Though in regards to that... I was told that we might have influenced the Realm to turn "removal" into a public execution. Do you agree with that assessment?
It's... not really an assessment, it's what happened.
[ they fidget slightly, playing with their hands. ]
It's also our fault--the Leaders, I mean. When you asked us if the removal for the culprit would be bad, we guessed that it most likely would be. And then a lot of people started to assume it would be something like a public execution, both in the trial itself and then afterwards... so it became one.
The same with the other teams, then? That the collection of Nova might go more smoothly if they also combine? Or can you only speak for the people you are in charge of?
It's actually the original reason you were all split up in the first place. We can slow down the process of you losing your memories, but there's a limit to how many people we can protect without it wearing too thin--so you were assigned to one of us to make it easier.
And anything else? The Realm took my powers from me, but assuming you had any to begin with, were you perhaps given leniency and allowed to keep yours?

However, this concerns me. If there is a secret he took to the grave, it is important to discover it.

You all are a lot more free to do things than I am. So I hope you'll be able to find clues.

It doesn't really work if we're actively trying to change it, since then we would be able to just redo this entire place as we saw fit.

Though if that is the case, the morale of the group will have powerful effects over the Realm. If we expect the worst...
[Well, sounds like they might get the worst by accident]
no subject
... w-well, the opposite can be true, too! A lot of the people here are also really positive, right?
no subject
[Spoken... very delicately]
But they also share the greatest burden of maintaining it. Should more people die, I fear their optimism might crumble.
no subject
... mm.
At least, there are many kind people here. So I think that... even if that happens, they won't be left alone.

[A small smile]
Forgive me. I'm prone to realism, even at the best of times.

[ for example, some people faint. ]

True... though that does bring me to my next question for you, if you still have time.
[With a thoughtful glance]
Do you believe it would be in our best interest for me to find my fellow... Rabbits?
no subject
I think so. I believe that actually working together as a team will make things go much more smoothly in the long run.

There's nothing wrong with working with the others. I just... can only really help protect my team members with the power I have. So be careful.
no subject
[Though he blinks, and tilts his head]
Do you mean a specific power?
no subject
We're basically... connected, in a sense.

no subject
I don't have those though, so I can only guess I didn't have powers in my normal life.
no subject
How old are you?
no subject
Well... guess!

[ a pause. ]
... no, I'm younger.
no subject
Alright, well. Would you be considered an adult by human standards? Older than 21 Earth years?
