Ω → six [video; open to action]

[oforder]

[ There's no chess motif in this video. No fancy metaphors, no elaborate symbolism. Just Wilhelm staring into the Compass, as if in a trance. It seems almost as if the terminal nearest to his makeshift office turned on without him realizing it, until he begins speaking. ]

It's almost time.

[ How long was it for him? Years? Centuries? A millennium? It doesn't matter. To someone who is possibly billions of years old and existed in previous cycles of his own universe, it might as well have been a week. Being that old, and being a cosmic entity, gives him a very odd perception of time compared to humans. He's completely indifferent to this event, even though it did affect on him. ]

I know you can see what I refer to, Yeshua. And I know that you can feel it as well.

[ That affect, of course... was him sensing Animus beginning to awaken. Though whether it actually was, or if it was just a sensation he's feeling due to the event itself, remains to be seen. ]

I was unaware that is possible in this world, but it was a hypothesis I was willing to test. Perhaps now, Tohko, Shion, Allen, and 'Wretched Egg,' your question can be answered.

[ He pauses slightly when he says 'Wretched Egg.' He's still unsure why she insists on being called that, but c'est la vie. ]

[Sadly, chaos was not affected by this event, and even though it was amusing that Wilhelm, of all people, was getting the time mixed up, he still didn't smile when he replied.]

Wilhelm, I cannot sense what you claim to be feeling. Perhaps you are under the effects of the Administrators current experiment.

I do not believe the Administrators can affect the Compass.

[Video]

[lightofhumanity]

So you believe. However, it would impossible for you to sense something that I could not. We both know this.

[Video]

[oforder]

That is an interesting anomaly.

You do not sense the presence of Animus increasing?

[Video]

[lightofhumanity]

If I would, I would not be making this video to you right now. I would be elsewhere.

The Compass does not lie to me, Yeshua. If Mary has not awakened yet, I believe she soon will.

[Video]

[lightofhumanity]

Assuming that the Administrators do not have the power to alter your Compass, I would have sensed even small stirrings of Mary's soul. Allen would sense it as well, and ye the appears just as confused as I am at this.

[He sees you down there, Allen.]

I said that opportunity to cause her to awaken will present itself soon. And if you do not wish for this world to be destroyed, Yeshua, you should wish for this, as well.

..I would not be unhappy if Mary awakened..but I do not think she is close to it. However, I could be wrong.

[He has been wrong in the past, after all.]

[Video]

[oforder]

That is the difference between us. [ He leans forward a bit. ] You act based upon what you believe. I act based upon what I know.

[Video]

[lightofhumanity]

[In his head, chaos sighed.]

Wilhelm, I act based upon both, but when information is lacking, I must go with what I have.

[Video]

[oforder]

And that is why I have succeeded for so long.

Mary will awaken soon. I am certain of it. And I have never once been wrong.
