So does this mean you don't really think of me as your enemy?
I think [...] it is important...my connection to you, and the differences between us. I have been [...] worried. Alejo is [...] very pure of heart and very faithful and optimistic. I sometimes wonder...if he turned that blind faith from Crystalism [...] to me. I'm afraid that I will get him hurt again When I don't have faith, he helps me remember it. But we are an echo chamber...and sometimes I need that, and sometimes he needs that, but I think...it isn't a situation that's very grounding for either of us.
Well, I'll tell you something else then, which is that when we met back up with Eli after, he seemed to agree that the Arakis probably had that book. He wanted to see if he could use his relationship with Yuuki Araki to find out more.
I had had a thought we could lure whoever it is behind all this out by saying "we have your things, come and get them," but I think the only thing they might have been worried about was the book that wasn't there, so you'll be happy to know that plan is scrapped for the time being.
We do have the magitech device, and Natí is planning to fiddle with that. If there's nothing useful on it, I asked her to scrap it for parts.
But between the sword, that device, and the job stone... Alejo was worried that the device wouldn't work without Elysium materials, so. Now we have some.
