[paenitete]

So the mistake you were talking about... was a wrong move in a board game?

[isdf]

[He nods.]

It was several moves, though.

["He" was supposed to be quite good at it, yet all those memories amounted to nothing in the end.]

[paenitete]

[ JAE YOUR ROLLS ]

How do you know he wasn't cheating?

[isdf]

[There's a funny story to be told about that, actually.]

The commander wouldn't cheat. He wished for me to win, and Soo-won was observing.

[paenitete]

So Soo-won was the one who would execute whoever lost?

[isdf]

The damage inflicted to a piece would transfer to the person it represented. If the piece fell, so, too, would that person. Soo-won was one of the pieces played by the commander; however, his piece wasn't removed for the duration of the game.

[paenitete]

So he stayed alive. While you and Hak...

[ she won't ask for details about how they died. ]

[isdf]

. . . Correct.

[And he won't volunteer them. Those are unnecessary details compared to the important key points.]

[paenitete]

[ moving on... ]

Did anything else happen to you?

[isdf]

Those were the most pertinent events. [He pauses.] Oh, that's correct. There was also a giant rat before we separated.

[paenitete]

More giant rats?!

[isdf]

There are quite a few of them, aren't there?

[paenitete]

There was one today too, when we were trying to get you guys out of the bar! I just kept getting cursed so I didn't pay attention to it!

[ is this to yuma or to herself ]

Why do they keep showing up?

[isdf]

[They really are everywhere.]

Perhaps they're a native race of intelligent rodents in Purgatory.

[paenitete]

Who's out there sending giant rats into Purgatory? They can take them back!

[ THESE RATS ARE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE ]

[paenitete]

[ oh he said native... notices too late

anyway. she sighs. ]

Did the rat do anything to all of you?

[isdf]

[So birds are okay, but not rats? He doesn't understand this arbitrarily drawn line.]

It attempted to apprehend us for our other lives' crimes; however, it was quite emotional over the victims and distracted as a result.

[paenitete]

[ there are giant birds ? ]

... I don't really know what to say.

[isdf]

[She's a bird.]

It was a short-lived encounter.

[She doesn't have to say anything.]

[paenitete]

[ opens my mouth... closes my mouth..... i forgot there is in fact a giant rat mob boss in arknights and fia's probably seen him before. i hate this canon. ]

Good. ...I feel like it's pointless to ask this, but are you really okay?

[isdf]

[Help.

Why does everyone keep asking him that?]

I am. Please do not worry.

[paenitete]

[ because they're NORMAL and they CARE ]

Then... I want to ask one more thing if that's okay. It's not related to the maze.

[isdf]

What is it?

[ she pauses. ]

You already know I like to eat sweets. I like to have a chestnut scone before my missions, if I have any around. I camp out in the barrenlands at home when I have to, but I think camping is relaxing on its own too. I also like movies. Good ones. Not the ones they show in the theaters here.
