2nd Battle | UN: Childe / Video

[monoceroscaeli]

[His transmission is short. He sits at home, holding his Omni up in front of him while his fox omen sits in his lap, curled up. Possibly one of the few times it wasn't causing all sorts of chaos.]

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I figured there would be at least a handful of you who would like to know.

[He pauses for only a moment.]

If you knew Manabu Yuuki, he was killed. I imagine he won't be back for at least a few weeks or so. His corruption had gotten the better of him, so I made sure his death was quick and painless.

That's fair enough. I hope Manabu will be okay once he returns.

[Hopefully, if there was a cost, they'd find out sooner rather than later.

This dream world sounded more dangerous if his soul wasn't safe. But something tells him that he wasn't so safe here as well.]

I understand. If I meet someone who knows more I hope they don't mind a few more questions about it. Could you tell me if these two worlds are connected at all? The dream world and this one, that is.

[monoceroscaeli]

[That's something he can answer. He nods back to Ryunosuke.]

The dream was a creation of another Pthumerian, a little girl named Sodder who had already died long before any of us arrived. And given that when we arrive on the shore here with the people of Trench waiting along the shore to greet us, and are still known as Sleepers, well...that tells me that both worlds were very much connected, somehow.

[convene]

Thank you, I do appreciate your time.

[He sighs, rubbing the back of his head.]

I'm still getting used to Trench, as it were. [A pause, before he looks at the camera.] Is there anything we can do but wait for his return?

[monoceroscaeli]

I'm afraid not. As it stands, Manabu is currently a corpse, so now we just have to wait. I don't know of any methods that can speed up this process.

[And if he did, he'd be more than eager to do it.]

[convene]

I almost hate to ask this. [But he's going to anyway.] What happened to his corpse?

[monoceroscaeli]

It's here with me. I've tried to ice the body as best I can. We still don't really know if there will be any damage to the person if left unattended.

[convene]

I suppose that's a fair point. [He guesses! This was an entire new realm of strange to him.] How are you getting ice for the body? Slowing down decomposition sounds like it would be challenging here.
