[componere]

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a running count of how many times this place has been destroyed and then consequently rebuilt?

[incorruption]

...This isn't the first time it's been destroyed?

[componere]

Of course not. I'm starting to think this city was built for the mere purpose of finding new ways to destroy it.

[incorruption]

That's horrible. I heard not many were hurt this time, but what if that isn't true next time?

[componere]

And what do you propose we do?

[incorruption]

I...I don't know.

[She wishes she knew, though.]

[componere]

It seems all efforts are in vain.

[ Which kind of irks him. Just a smidgen. ]

[incorruption]

There has to be something, though. We just haven't found it yet.

[componere]

And how long do you plan on searching? [ just curious and all ] Won't you miss out on life in the meantime~?

[incorruption]

As long as it takes. I don't want anyone to get hurt.

[She takes a deep breath.]

But...

[She has...no response for that.]

[componere]

There are individuals here who recklessly search for answers. Why not leave the searching for them and not let time pass you by?

Hmmmmm, though it is only a suggestion.

[incorruption]

[It's her job.]

Even if I can't do much, I would like to at least try to help. If someone was hurt, especially someone dear to me, I don't think I would be able to live with myself.

[She wasn't going to lose anyone she knew, period. And that means you too, Joshua.]

I don't know how to explain it, but I just can't sit and do nothing.

[componere]

[ How noble ♥ ]

Then put your efforts into keeping those around you happy, by all means.

[incorruption]

[It's just the way she is!]

That's what I plan on doing.

What about you?

[componere]

Hmmm? What about me?

[incorruption]

What are you going to do here?

[componere]

What I always do. [ vaaagueee ]/small>
