One of them told me about a... report, that they found.

Did you hear anything about that?

[soulus]

It sounded like it was written by a Leader.

[dawnblushed]

Mhm. But do you think it was written by one of our Leaders?

[soulus]

It didn't feel familiar . . .

[dawnblushed]

I thought so, too. And the timing they talked about in it felt a little bit off, so...

Do you think this has happened before? With different people?

[soulus]

If it's happening now, there's a chance that it has happened before.

[dawnblushed]

...which means even if we fix things now, there's a chance it will happen again.

[soulus]

All things decline with age. Even immortals are affected by the passage of time.

[dawnblushed]

...wait, how did immortals get involved here?

[soulus]

I'm saying that nothing is timeless.

[dawnblushed]

...not even the Realm. Right, I think I understand now.

[soulus]

But knowing that this may happen again does not change our objective.

[dawnblushed]

Right, first and foremost, we have to make sure our worlds are safe for now.

...but it does mean that if we see anything that might help us keep them safe permanently, we should probably look into it, too.

[soulus]

. . . I don't care about that . . . but I would need the world intact to spend the money I earn. It seems I have no choice but to look into the matter.

[Yona tries to hide her laughter, but a little pfft! escapes anyway.]

...what do you want to buy, anyway?

[soulus]

[Don't laugh.]

Is that important right now?

[dawnblushed]

Well... maybe not, but I can't help but be curious.

[soulus]

I would buy ammunition, of course.

[dawnblushed]

...is it really that expensive?

[soulus]

Guns are useless without ammunition. It's important to keep them loaded.

[dawnblushed]

So you work all the time so you can... afford to keep your guns loaded?

[soulus]

Without a working gun, it would be that much more cumbersome to fulfill my contracts.

[dawnblushed]

...so you work... so you can have your guns loaded... so you can keep working?

[soulus]

Yes.

[dawnblushed]

...that's kind of circular, you know?
