...Does it do anything?

[preowned]

... I do not think so.

[agleam]

Oh...

[awkward silence]

Well, it's, um. Nice?

[preowned]

Yes... I think I'm fond of it now.

[ he sets it aside, on display. ]

[agleam]

How did you get it?

[this is a normal conversation]

[preowned]

Oh! A shopkeeper gave it to us for free, for saving everyone from the first labyrinth.

[agleam]

The first labyrinth?

[preowned]

... we went through more than one...

They were both terrible.

[agleam]

What were they each like?

[preowned]

Well, both involved us getting lost a lot, for one.

... but there were bosses at the end of each we had to defeat. We fought the bosses in the first one together as a group, but we were separated for most of it in the second.

[agleam]

...So you had to fight on your own, against people you recognized.

[frowning!!]

I'm really sorry you had to go through that.

[preowned]

... well, for me, at least, it served as a good reminder for how things work at home.

But at least we all made it back as safely as possible.

[agleam]

[pausing again, still concerned]

For how things work at home...?

[preowned]

Mm. There is just a particular set of rules we follow, and what happened sort of... went along with that.

[agleam]

What kind of rules do you mean?

[preowned]

Not changing the past and things like that.

Something happened that was just similar to that.

[agleam]

...Can I ask what it is, or do you want to continue to be vague?

[preowned]

Hm...

There was just a part where I got punished for going against history.

[agleam]

Punished how?

[preowned]

Hm... the main reason I was bleeding a lot.
