[ well.

his "confession" to dorothy before feeding her the cookie was rather telling wasn't it? either way, she's hobbling at the first aid station for obvious reasons. kind of. ]

Did you know it was her?

[ because, well, they're both straight-forward, right? ]

[soulus]

[Was it telling? Rufus is in the middle of pocketing a roll of bandages when Izumo appears.]

I suspected that she would take action.

[sacredchants]

[ it was telling of something. ]

...have you known what team she's on the whole time? Or, rather, do you know what team she's a part of?

[soulus]

Is she not on your team?

[sacredchants]

No, she is. I just didn't want to say anything if you didn't know.

[soulus]

I've known her assigned team longer than I have yours.

[sacredchants]

I figured that from how you spoke to her before you fed her the cookie.

[soulus]

Then you have your confirmation.

What now?

[sacredchants]

I'm curious to see how you are.

[ ... ]

And maybe learn what Alphinaud whispered to you.

[soulus]

He suggested that I give one of your teammates a cookie to name the culprit.

[sacredchants]

[ ah.

well...that would be a good thing to ask. ]

It would have worked.

[soulus]

There was a chance that not everyone would have agreed on the recipient.

[sacredchants]

For my team, it would have been known. It wasn't exactly made clear but it was known.

Admittedly, who knows if it would have worked for the other team.

[soulus]

Yes. We don't know. What we do know is that the item worked on the second suspect.

[sacredchants]

The second suspect?

[ is he. referring to dorothy? or...?? ]

[soulus]

Dorothy removed Archer.

The item worked as intended. There's no point in conjecturing on what-ifs now.

[sacredchants]

I suppose so.

[ izumo would push it for more but—no point in that. ]

We caught someone who was guilty and we all have completed the requirement. From here on out it becomes a new focus of how to fully end all of this once and for all.

[soulus]

Once the Realm is stabilized, we should be able to confront the monster that's been siphoning the nova.

[sacredchants]

That's what I've been hearing for so long but when will that be?

I still haven't gotten any new updates from my leader or anyone.

[soulus]

Why don't you ask them again tomorrow?

[sacredchants]

I plan on doing it, especially with how many things have changed recently.

Do you plan on asking Wolf as well?

[soulus]

Yes—if not tomorrow, then next week.

[sacredchants]

Then I'll talk to you as soon as I hear back from my leader. I believe of the others on my team, they like me the best.

[soulus]

Is there anything else you would like me to ask on my end?

[sacredchants]

Our powers.

I know some of us have gotten them back. Is there any telling of when the rest of us will? Or...if there's anything we can do?
