Hey, look who's here!

You're a friend of my son, right?

What a strange chance it is that has brought us together here!

Did something happen to you?

There was a subtle and magical echo to it.

Immediately after that, you were thrown here.

I don't understand a word you're saying.

Can't you organize your story? Don't you know 'five W's and one H' rule?

Ooh...so that's what happened.

So you're saying that Shenime was after the Orb?

hehehe...hahahhaha ahahahahha

Well, well...did he get me, too?

Me, Avant, of all the people?! Hahahaha!

I was doing a research on the power of the Orb on my own.

But Shenime just urged me persistently.

I started from thinking about the beauty of the Orb and went on to wondering what kind of power is accumulated inside the Orb...

and I started questioning the principle of the Orb's power since we all benefit from it.

All Laphines think of the Orb as something natural as air and water, but he was the first one to make me perceive it differently and investigate its origin.

Right...Shenime. He excited my curiosity on purpose.

Stimulate a person who wasn't aware of air and water, and make him recognize and carry on investigating!

Well, well...isn't that interesting!

Ha...hahaha...

...I'm so angry about the fact that I just realized how he used me, but what's even worse is that I've done something horrible to our people.

I think I'm pretty irritated now.

What kind of a person do you think I am, seriously!

Is it because of my sons?

Well, then, I can't blame you too much.

...Bah.

It's no fun.

It's not fun anymore. I'm no longer interested in you.

......

Seems like there's a visitor.

Although you're detained on suspicion of being responsible for the recent incident in the lighting room,

there are some witnesses to prove your innocence.

I don't know the details,

but I also believe you're not guilty.

I'll move you to the treatment room since this seems like a severe wound.

I don't think it's a big deal.

...hopefully.

Let's go. I'll guide you.
