[transmit]

What, you mean you didn't just come back from a thoroughly harrowing experience that has you questioning your life as you know it?

[isdf]

No. If anything, thanks to that experience, my vision is even clearer now.

[transmit]

Clearer? In what way?

[ Running himself ragged…? ]

[isdf]

It reinforced what I have always known to be true; hence, I will no longer hesitate for the remainder of these mazes.

[transmit]

Oh. Is this for your shard?

[isdf]

My shard . . . Yes, I suppose it is.

[transmit]

Don't forget you have people to rely on. You know how these mazes get when you're on your own.

What are you looking for?

[isdf]

[He nods slowly in response to the gravity of the overall situation.]

Are you asking about the person in my shard?

[transmit]

No, nothing that personal. Of course, if you wanted to talk about it I'm willing to lend an ear—but I was thinking I could help you with what you're doing now.

[isdf]

["Talk about it"? No, thank you.]

I was simply observing the surroundings for potential changes. Have you noticed anything strange in these parts lately?

[transmit]

[ mood ]

Nothing's changed, no. If trends can be trusted, then it's likely things won't change until tomorrow.

[isdf]

Yes, I think so as well. This investigation is also being conducted in preparation for that change.

[transmit]

Yeah——what exactly are you preparing for…?

[isdf]

This area beyond the maze is just as prone to change. While those changes tend to be additions, it would be prudent to take note of modifications if they occur.

[transmit]

I see…

[ … ]

If I cover half the work for you, how do you want me to present the information? As a formal written or oral report?

[isdf]

[Hm?]

An oral report would suffice . . . Do you really intend to do that?

[transmit]

Of course. Tell me what you're looking for specifically and I'll be on it.

[ man who somehow has a military background and has been employed by one for maybe over a decade now? gacha timelines…… ]

[isdf]

[Elysium is so talented.]

Very well. Then I would like you to note the number, quality, and placement of the plants and benches in the area, as well as the fruits and their shapes, and whether there is a sign for each of them.

[ what the fuck

He reminds himself that Yuma just came back from a terrible experience. He tells himself if he does this, surely Yuma will allow himself to rest? What the fuck is the army Yuma belongs to even doing and teaching? Is it an actual army? Is Yuma punking all of them?

He pads off with a stiff 'okay' and goes to do just this. Lord. ]

[isdf]

[If Elysium does this, he will simply give Yuma more time to conduct his investigations elsewhere. That prospect pleases Yuma, who continues exploring his side of Arcadia to absorb the landscape for future reference.]
