[ Anaxagoras...

...Stares down the monster that has transformed before all of their very eyes.

It claims that because it takes upon the desires and whatnot of others, it must now become a villain. How sobering it must be to hear perhaps a reflection of a word captured within its sentence.

He has no weapon. But, it matters little - there is no point in feeling fear—he knows their situation well, and their odds. He lifts his head to stare the creature in the face with all of his defiance.

What an interesting word it used "villain"..."that they desired it". It is a all a matter of perception, and in the end, this is what it chose. ]


So, I see you have made your choice.

Honestly, how ridiculous and pathetic you are.

This system, yourself...we never asked to be brought here; nor to have you take those souls. It seems you never bothered to try to listen closely as to why we took issue with what was done to us in the first place.

Why we instead were interested in searching for the truth all along. But, right now, your words practically rubbish. Including this very topic.

Have you ever considered that we didn't want to be wrapped up into this cycle of death? Did you even try to properly understand why we were holding disagreement? Or why we have been slow to trust, given what we have experienced?

Your perception is in woeful and dire need of correcting - you should be well aware of that, and prepared to accordingly adjust in light of that.

[ The problem he feels is that some of those desires may have accumulated. But, he doesn't think it's necessarily the sum of their own. He takes issue with this foolish interpretation...and the enabling of dark wishes.

She ought to reverse course right now from this sheer absurdity and foolishness, that is what he thinks.

This is no fault of their own. ]

[ Anaxagoras never had a fondness for beings that could be said to be on the level of a god, for various reasons. There is no reasoning with something that barely knows the capacity for it in the first place.

How irritating. How laughable...he lets out a sound caught between a laugh and a sound of pain. But he lurches forward, vision spotty for a second. He heard this. ]


...how do we find the second source of infection?

[ 'Where' is a question, but 'how' is probably more helpful. If it can be at all. All the while he will try to wrench away from the one crawling up his side, but you know. ]

[ "The more they succumb to the madness, the less likely to show their face to the public.

Someone is hiding."


He doesn't have time to think too hard about it.

Maybe because he let out a cry of pain this time.

Ah, well...it's fine, everyone is dealing with the same thing, right? And that child... ]


Let us leave. Now.

[ After that, he will just kind of, slide a bit down. He needs to sort of sit, feeling almost faint. Maybe even begin to slump over. ]

[He sees Anaxagoras slumping - Hansa might be sparking from where a chunk of metal has been ripped out from his shoulder, but he doesn't care.]

[He's leaping forward to grab the man, practically ripping him away from Magi's grasp and backing away.]


That person should have never turned you into this.

[Even as he's gritting his teeth, roiling anger as he's looking at the destruction she's wrought.]

[What a mess.]

[What a horrific mess.]

...I think you agree, too. Deep down. I would like to believe you do.

[Everything hurts. Everyone is hurt.]

[She's granting their wish, in the end. He aims that inhuman crystal eye towards her, Anaxagoras tucked against him.]


We'll see you again. Be ready.
