I think that we were just brought here for... This. I think this is it.

[preceptive]

Then, why would someone send us to a place to both summon demons and exorcise them?

[applechemist]

I don't know why they want us to do both sides, but...

They brought us here and they're providing us with all the items and instructions we need. There's the whole system and all the rules and special rules and recordings of the past groups that went through the same thing...

[preceptive]

And that's what I'm wondering—what the purpose of all this is. You don't just do this to people for fun.

[applechemist]

We don't know that.

... But it is unlikely, huh? So I wonder what there is to gain from it. Research, maybe...?

[preceptive]

If it's for research, it had better be good.

[applechemist]

I can't even imagine what use that research would have that could justify this.

[preceptive]

Short of something that endangers all of our worlds, I don't think anything does.

[applechemist]

I can't believe that demon rituals are the solution to a problem like that. I just can't.

[ Like, she wants to, because she wants to think there's a big justification for this, but. ]

[preceptive]

Well, that's what we have to figure out. In any case, it could easily be something more selfish.

[applechemist]

Right! We'll figure it all out. So tell me if you find something useful out, okay?

I know you're already talking to Junpei and Dick, so information still gets to me, but still! [ He told her to look out for them so she assumes they're all close friends. ]

[preceptive]

[no, that's just kagachi wanting them (and escha) to be well and happy? he's not part of this equation!!]

I'll keep that in mind.

[applechemist]

[ Friends????? Friends!!!!!! ]

Good.

[preceptive]

[what's a friend]

Just return the favour.

[applechemist]

Of course! We should all be sharing everything.

[preceptive]

Should, but I doubt everyone will.

[applechemist]

That's true. And I can't even fault them... They're scared.

And there may be some things that people aren't able to talk about.

[preceptive]

Like what?

[applechemist]

Um.

[ ... ]

Things they don't want to talk about, I mean.

[preceptive]

Yeah? [a beat.] Hey, Escha, do the words "freely offer the information" mean anything to you?

[applechemist]

[ She nods. ]

[preceptive]

... You have a role, then.

[applechemist]

Do you?

[preceptive]

I asked first.

[applechemist]

Oh - yes. I do.

[ She wasn't trying to not answer, she just got distracted by her own curiosity. ]
