[recrowns]

[he shakes his head]

It's alright. Before you grow concerned - it's nothing I'm interested in taking a life over.

And your memories? They haven't come back at all?

[retellers]

That's good. Please don't kill if you don't have to.

[ ): ]

I do not recall my life before this place, no.

[recrowns]

Would killing put our team in a higher standing?

[don't just ask this]

[retellers]

I... I don't know. I suppose if taking a life affects nova, then perhaps...?

[ THEY SOUND DISTRESSED ]

But don't do that!

[recrowns]

[ah - he smiles at that and reaches out to put a hand on goat's shoulder]

I won't. The wish doesn't really matter to me.

But I need to know what might motivate others to act in order to better understand the situation, so if you could help me find answers, it'd help.

[retellers]

[ they calm down once soo-won establishes that he's not about to start shanking people for points. ]

... Power brings out the worst in people. I cannot say there are those who wouldn't do whatever it took, perhaps even among us. I can't even say that none of the Leaders would potentially be motivated by such a thing, as much as I would rather not cast doubt on the others.

[recrowns]

[i deeply wish i played characters that would shank people for points i want it so bad]

Doubt does not mean that hope is missing - only that you are taking all things into consideration.

You said you wanted to protect others, correct?

I want to solve the situation regarding the nova and the universe. Stabilizing it is my primary goal, as it would save the greatest number of people - as well as my kingdom, which I hope you understand is my first priority.

But it's impossible to protect anyone without considering the worst case scenarios.

[retellers]

I know. And I know that perhaps, it is best not to trust people.

[ ... ]

But I don't wish for everyone to be--more fragmented than they already are. Though I hope the participants can find solace among each other's support, things are... currently tense between the Leaders.

[recrowns]

Are they? How do you mean?

[retellers]

Just as you wonder if we're behind what's happened, we also cannot dismiss the possibility that any of us may have influenced it.

[recrowns]

[ . . . hm.]

Was Virid on Wolf's team? Is that why they're in the lead? Because in a way, he collected nova, even if it was at the cost of someone else's life?

[retellers]

We don't know. It could be, but it might also not be.

[recrowns]

Would Wolf be able to volunteer that information if they wanted to, now that Virid has been removed from the Realm?

Ah - which I would like to ask more about as well.

[retellers]

I don't think so... but you can try asking them.

[ they tilt their head, waiting. ]

[recrowns]

Mm, then I will.

[might as well collect all the information that he can]

Do you have any more information about this 'removal' - what happens to them, where do they go? Some people are worried that we will forget them entirely come tomorrow.

[retellers]

[ goat is quiet for a while, as if thinking.

... ]

[recrowns]

[soo-won eats another rice cracker]

[retellers]

[ thinking even harder... ]

[recrowns]

[humming thoughtfully to himself]

And maybe some tea...

[retellers]

[ ...

...

........... ]

I'm trying to think of a way to answer this that wouldn't have consequences, but I am failing. [ a pause. ] But your memories of them should be fine. That is, no less likely to disappear than any other memory, at least.

[recrowns]

[hm]

Consequences?

For who? You? Or myself?

[retellers]

[ i accidentally stopped giving you access so i sure hope that didn't screw anything up, gomen dana ]

For everyone.

[recrowns]

[SDLFKJSDFLKJSDF THIS IS SO FUNNY

i didn't get this notif but it's okay i found it]

Ah, fair enough.

Then - would you say that those who were 'removed' are decidedly dead and unable to be contacted?

[maybe if it's simpler and in a yes/no format it'll be easier to answer]

[retellers]

Their souls have passed, Soo-won. You should not expect to see them.

[recrowns]

Hm.... alright.

[he'll accept this for the time being]

How is your connection with the Realm faring? Better?
