[she looks down at her feet]

We weren't able to save them. Two of our friends... they were healers, they tried, but it wasn't enough. I... I lost my temper a little. I told him that he wasn't a god, that he wasn't a protector... he was just evil.

[...]

...and then it was like... there was a voice coming from somewhere inside of me, asking if I thought I could do it better. I said yes.

[...]

The next thing I knew... I was here. ...I don't know exactly what happened to their parents, in the end, but their injuries were so severe, and our healers were out of Psynergy... I don't know that they could have done anything except for... die.

I do think you're doing better. This competition is... I won't say it's good, but some good things have come from it. And you wouldn't trick us like that.

Sorry about your friends.

[divus]

...I miss them. If I hadn't been so mad, if the call hadn't come at exactly that moment... I wonder if I would have answered it differently.

[there's no way to know now, though...]

I just hope... they're alright.

[bakaomi]

...

If they're your friends, just believe that they are, especially if they're even half as tough as you are.

[divus]

They're all tougher than I am.

[her voice is fond.]

By far. I'm the one they could knock over with a feather - although my Psynergy was stronger than most of theirs.

[hi taka you're talking to a glass cannon]

[bakaomi]

Mm... I'd still be rooting for you anyway.

[ he's biased ]

[divus]

Hee hee... thank you, Takaomi.

[bakaomi]

I just know where to place my bets.
