Well, Mytho wasn't there for most of the time you were. I know not having him with you was probably really hard, and I guess - not being able to leave. Not having a choice.

It would be, yeah. But as for leaving, couldn't I have written a story to get you out? Get the both of us out?

No... Whatever brought us there stops powers from doing anything that could bring us back.

Whatever brought you there... it couldn't be Drosselmeyer, right?

N-No, he's not there at all. I made sure. It's this thing they call the Core, but nobody really knows exactly what it is.

Maybe they haven't been doing enough research.

They haven't. Nobody's allowed to go near it.

That shouldn't stop people from trying. I would.

But it's radio - um, radio - I forget what the word for it is, but it makes you really sick if you go near it!

Then you get sick trying. What's the problem?

It can get bad enough to kill people or put them in the hospital! Besides, there are guards there and stuff. And - just trust me on this one.

You know more about the place than I do. I trust you.

But I still don't like the thought of you being stuck there.

I don't really love it there, but I don't hate it most of the time, either. I know I'll be okay for as long as it takes to figure out how to go home.

I hope you don't get sent anywhere, though.

You can hope, but it seems like I'll probably be going to a game sooner or later. It might as well be one where I can try to protect you.

B-But like I said, it's not dangerous for me there! So - you should try to get them to send you somewhere without any monsters or stuff like that.

I can handle monsters, moron. I've fought demon ravens before, they can't be much worse than those.

That doesn't mean you should have to! It doesn't mean I want you to have to, either.

... If my pen wouldn't work, I'd have to rely on the sword. There's no way around it.

Or you could just stay inside! Killing them doesn't do anything, Fakir, they just come back the next night anyways.

Stay inside... like in the fight with the raven, huh?

Damn it.

It's different than that's going to be. Not many people go out there, so nobody's really in danger from the monsters. Most people are more concerned with being careful in a place like that.

[ just. rubbing his temples UGH WHAT KIND OF PLACE DO YOU EVEN LIVE IN. ]

Maybe after two years you get used to a curfew like that.

It's pretty easy! There are sirens every night ten minutes before the sun sets, so everyone knows to get inside.

So they give a warning signal, too. How considerate.

Well, I think it's nice of them to give a reminder.
