[ ... my friends. ]

Ah... So you need to be extra careful from now on. What's the power?

[undread]

I can see what happens at a location.

My partner and I watched the boardwalk last night. And I had a dream in which I saw a person placing several items down by the game booths. Then someone else came, pursuing cautiously, and they threw something at them and they both fled.

My partner dreamed of someone being chased incessantly by a raging pursuer, wrecking havoc as they go. The two split and then met again, armed, and battled. There was a great deal of fire, and both fled.

[killies]

... So that gives us an idea of what happened. That'll help. I feel like we never really have a clear idea of the actual events. We usually scrape by on physical evidence leading us to someone.

[undread]

I hope it helps.

[at least to some degree.]

I know it doesn't change anything to know that we might catch a person who didn't want to do it to begin with.

[killies]

But the people we don't catch will act again. So I think most people in their right mind would want to get caught.

[undread]

I think it's the right thing to do, to find them. At least, we shouldn't leave them without being found, like Iwatooshi.

[killies]

And whoever got away last week.

[undread]

Well. Did she get away...?

[killies]

Yeah.

[undread]

We haven't done anything about her. I understand why; she hasn't presented as much of a threat. But it does feel a bit cruel to let her linger without telling her what her fate will be.

[killies]

[ ... ]

We know how things went with Camille, though.

[undread]

You mean that she's back alive grumping about?

[killies]

I mean that a group of people killed her in secret from everyone else.

But that too.

[undread]

Yes, your thing, too! I don't really know which approach was worse, per se... [they were both pretty bad!] but if you asked me if I'd rather be Camille right now or Robin, it's an easy answer.

[killies]

I just don't think anyone should do the same thing to Robin.

[undread]

I think she might not agree with you. But I admit I don't precisely wish to pick up the knife and do it myself.

[killies]

It's not like she ever gives direct answers, anyway.

[undread]

She gave me one. She was adamant she not be accused of lying to protect Caelus, because she felt that it was right that he was caught.

[killies]

[ ... ]

Well. That's something.

[undread]

I think she would feel the same way about herself - she'd want to be stopped. That's all.

[killies]

Yeah. That's what people say.

[undread]

Well, listen. People say that to justify their own feelings, as though what was easier for them was right.

But that's not what I'm doing. In my case, if I was a monster and someone killed me, I'd be angry about it! I would not be selfless and understanding. I'm simply saying I think Robin would be.

[killies]

You're probably right. That sounds like how she would react.

[ ... ]

I guess we'll just see how tomorrow goes.
