They don't even know they're on that team. [ it's an agreement, their mouth twisted ] The kid was clearly—deranged, but I can't believe someone would manipulate anyone into killing like that.
He wasn't deranged, [ she replies quickly, a bit defensive. ] He was just desperate. With self-esteem like that, it was probably even easier for him to be manipulated, you know?
[ she liked her little roommate - even after what he did, she just wants to understand. Fiora has a lot of room in her heart. ]
... He didn't. It sounds like he didn't have many people that wanted to listen growing up. I tried talking to him, too, but I didn't hear anything he didn't say the next day.
[ a sigh. she still feels like she failed, somehow. she should have done something to save pikachu, and to save virid, too - she should have seen this coming, after seeing him every day. but she was completely blindsided.
That's not why she's here, though. She shakes her head. ]
... I can't change the past, but I can try and change the future. Swan, could you tell me who else is on our team?
[ they don't seem sure how to answer that, lips pursed, and welcome the subject change despite their lackluster answer: ]
Since we can't outright confirm or deny anyone who is or was on our team, no. I can hint at it? But I can only give one hint per person per week... for some stupid reason. [ they go ugh. ] I already promised someone I'd give it to them for this week, but I'm working to connect you guys as fast as I can. If all goes well, I should've managed to get three people into contact already.
No, but... I mean, since it's not quite a being, that's probably why. [ they gesture around them ] It doesn't have feelings or things like that. It just is, so it categorizes things as what can and can't happen. Anything outside of that gets more complicated.
And it's probably why people aren't usually meant to be in it.

Thank goodness for that. If you did... I don't know what I'd do. I'm glad I'm not on that team... I feel sorry for them.

I won't talk about him that way. Not until I know what really happened.

These rules all sound so arbitrary... What happens if you break them?
