There is a click, a soft urging, almost whispered too soft to hear, but you can sense that you are being beckoned somewhere, lead to an elaborate open door with wood panels and great curls of gold leaf. You cannot see what is beyond the door, but it smells sour and sharp. Before you can turn over the thought of should you or shouldn't you, if you are the kind, there is a quiet push at your back and through the door you go . . .

Where would you put it?

[dramatispersonae]

"I wonder ... "

[crueltobekind]

If you don't want to help then just say so.

[dramatispersonae]

She shifts her hands, placing the palms flat against each other.

"You are due much more. For now, yes, that is where I would put a single weight."

[crueltobekind]

Wait—I am? I didn't expect to actually be due anything here . . .

[or at least not for anything to admit it to him]

[dramatispersonae]

"Then, you aren't aware of the scales, the threads ... That is fine, too."

[crueltobekind]

Is it really fine to be like that . . .

Is there something I can do to understand better? Or see . . . whatever.

[dramatispersonae]

"To understand ... What? The threads?"

[crueltobekind]

Yes. What else?

[dramatispersonae]

"There could be much that you don't understand. To understand that better, then you would have to find the source ... As I claimed the severed threads between the two of you."

[crueltobekind]

. . . You what.

[dramatispersonae]

"Vincent asked a quest of me. One of the bonds that he decided to break to fulfill that quest was with you. While he may have reasons other than that quest for severing those bonds, if the bond is restored, then the binding will weaken."

[crueltobekind]

. . . Just . . . for a quest?

[dramatispersonae]

"It was a small price, and he chose which."

[crueltobekind]

[WOW THAT IS REALLY UPSETTING]

When— What did he get?

[dramatispersonae]

"He bound a young girl on Turquoise. The two of them cannot come close to one another."

[crueltobekind]

Why did it have to be that price?!

[dramatispersonae]

"It didn't have to be. It was equivalent, but he could have asked for something else or of someone else."

[crueltobekind]

That . . . asshole.

[dramatispersonae]

She stays silent.

[crueltobekind]

. . . The source. Is that at the center?

[dramatispersonae]

"Yes."

[crueltobekind]

Thanks. . . . And before I go, is there anything you need here?

[dramatispersonae]

"There isn't anything that I need. Though, there may be something of interest here for you."

[crueltobekind]

What is it?
