[ listen. only sort of, but she's stupid. ]

How would that make sense? How would that work? [ almost says 'how would anyone fall for that' but catches herself before being THAT rude. ]

[trashprince]

Stellaron's corrupt everything around them. The world itself was covered in frost and Belobog was the last standing city. Stellarons also cause the Fragmentum, an anomaly that... creates monsters.

[ searching for easy language for easy understanding ]

My immunity isn't normal. Everything else gets corroded.

[killies]

I see.

But you were there, so...?

[trashprince]

So we stopped her, but my immunity doesn't protect anyone else.

[ this is a great shame ]

[killies]

Did a lot of other people get caught up in it and get hurt?

[trashprince]

That's a hard one to answer. We successfully sealed the Stellaron, but it will take a long time for the planet to recover.

[ if it even can go back to its former health ]

But if we hadn't intervened, she might have destroyed Belobog.

[killies]

So it was bad... but it could have been worse.

[trashprince]

Yeah. Belobog had already been suffering for a long time.

[ deflating slightly.

give memory ]

[killies]

[ so that probably made it easier to manipulate someone...

well. here's a memory. ]

[trashprince]

[ NOT LIKE THAT

jk that was very cool i guess i have to read this comic now ]

What--why?

[ during the memory he's a non-existence, a mere observer of the radical injustice dealt to ashlyn. already anxious when they place her in that room, then wanting nothing more than to burst through, back in time, to stop her from having to face that thing alone.

but he wasn't there.

in the present, lots of blinking. ]

That was your school?

[killies]

What—oh. No. That was the facility I was being held in.

[trashprince]

They were going to let you get hurt.

[ he's trying to understand, he really is, but what the fuck??? ashlyn friend-shaped?? ashlyn good??? why would they treat her as disposable? untenable ]

[killies]

... Yeah. They were.
