You have to send me back, please- I can fix this, maybe they're not all dead, maybe I haven't destroyed everyone yet, but if I'm here then I can't do anything!

Please.

[She flutters her wings uncertainly. It looks like she's been crying.]

You would do well not to pay attention to them.

[ The voice is dull and monotonous. Though those wings have him quite interested. ]

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

But if I'm here then that means that nobody's stopping those angels from swarming and-

[She takes a shaky breath.]

If I left my body's surface then they'd all come down at once, and there are far too many of them for humans to deal with. I'm here. They have to have all come down.

If it helps, a theory circulating amongst this Tower's residents consists of time in our own worlds standing still. That this is all an elaborate experiment, meant to scare us.

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

Really? Then, they wouldn't be... I haven't...

Oh, that's such a relief! Thank you so much!

[ audio ]

[oforder]

It is merely a theory. So far as anyone here is aware, it has not been proven, and likely, will never be proven.

[Poor thing. Apart from the crying, he was in just as bad a state mentally at the realisation of the message.]

They will not answer. Are you alright?

[Audio]

[heavenscorpse]

I... I think I'm okay... But I really wish I could talk to them.

[Audio]

[kudas_to_you]

You can't do anything to stop them just yet.

[Audio]

[heavenscorpse]

Even just knowing what was really going on would be okay.

[Audio]

[kudas_to_you]

There is a theory that all of this is a lie. The note, especially so.

[...he sounds like Nagi. Clearing his throat...]

We don't know what's going on beyond this. Until we find the people behind this, we won't know for sure.

[tempus_scorpius]

Haven't destroyed everyone?

[Voice]

[heavenscorpse]

I had a very important job - or I was keeping my body from doing something bad.

[Voice]

[tempus_scorpius]

Something bad?

[Voice]

[heavenscorpse]

Destroy-all-life bad.

[Voice]

[tempus_scorpius]

You have that power?

[shadowofmoonlight]

Your desperation is misplaced. There is no hope, here.

[heavenscorpse]

There is always hope. People create hope and there's people.

[shadowofmoonlight]

People give into despair.

[heavenscorpse]

Some do. More don't.

[shadowofmoonlight]

If you believe that, you are naive.

H-hey-- [This is... after she's stumbled across the trap of the viewport and felt her land and entire population. . .

. . . she doesn't want to think about it. A hero doesn't give up, especially not when things look their worst.]

Don't-- Hey don't cry okay? I mean, these Tower jerks are horrible people, and kidnap and stuff, so they're probably lying through their teeth! Don't give up. You got wings and you look real nice. [she has no idea what that has to do with anything, but it's sincere!!]

Don't listen to the others, we just gotta hang in there.

[Sniff.]

Do you really think so?

[starspangledknockers]

[she nods enthusiastically, trying to stay bright about this whole situation. It's hard, but if anyone can do it, she can!]

Yeah, definitely! I know so. You gotta be realistic about stuff to get things done yeah, but you can't move forward if you're down in the dumps! It's not naive to hope for something more. People who say that kinda stuff are just bitter jerks who don't want anyone else to be happy.

[heavenscorpse]

I don't think that's right. People like that really just don't want you to be hurt too much and they're worried about you.

Thank you. I'll believe everything's okay.

[starspangledknockers]

You think? 'Cause in my experience they just get angrier if you're optimistic and call you naive and insult you. Doesn't seem too concerned to me.

Thing is, everything ain't okay, not here, but we just gotta keep trying!

Are those wings real?!
