"I was actually here because the beach reminds me the most of my own world," Cabot answered. "Thought I'd take a moment to relax a little with everything that's happened the past two weeks, you know?" The Cranidos shifted a bit, before continuing on. "That said... there was something Cynthian...

"Alright, though I'm sure things will be fine!" Cabot turned back towards the beach and made his way over to Starr alongside Cynthian, giving a cheery wave as he approached her. "Hey there, Starr! Trying to figure out what Radiance abilities you got?"

"Maybe you should try talking to her?" Cabot offered. "Things won't get any better if you keep avoiding her."

"Well, everyone was very on edge that morning because our upcoming battle was gonna be twice that hard," Cabot began. "I'm not saying that what she did was good, but maybe that would explain why she acted that way. Whenever I've talked to Starr she always seemed pretty nice, so she could have...

Cabot paused. "Wait, you mean the morning when we found out we had to fight Sushi and Sashimi?"

Cabot tilted his head, giving Cynthian a look of concern. "What... happened exactly that made her do that? And when did it happen?"

"Eh? But we're on the same team. Why would she purposely try to hurt you?"

"Huh?" Cabot looked behind him in confusion, before turning back to Cynthian. "How come you don't wanna go anymore? The beach is pretty big, so I don't think you have to worry about Starr accidentally burning you or something."

Shortly after Diyem went silent Cabot got up and started walking back towards the beach's exit. Along the way he noticed Starr training by herself, seemingly trying out new moves. The Cranidos briefly stopped, wondering to himself if perhaps Starr was trying to figure out what powers she had...

Cabot blinked in surprise a moment, before shifting his gaze down towards the ground with a small smile. "I guess, you must not be used to that."

Maybe you just need help from someone who can? I can be there to support you or maybe help clarify some things if they don't end up coming off as you intended. I mean, that's what friends are for, right?

Right. I promise I won't tell anyone unless you ask me to. It seems like a pretty personal thing anyway... But, thanks for telling me. Does anyone else know yet?

Well... you sent use here because Cibus is in trouble, right? You used your powers to sense that, to gather all of us, to create new bodies so we could travel here and save it... Those are definitely good things. Cabot paused, his posture relaxing slightly as he looked up at the sky. I guess...

That's... understandable then. But living like that sounds terrible. It must be so much to take in constantly. Is that also why you can always sense when someone is lying? Or why people get struck with black lightning when they try to lie during Truth or Dare?

I... see. Cabot shifted uneasily as he tried to think of what to say about Diyem's explanation, only to draw blanks. It's just... a lot to take in...

Cabot said nothing for a moment as several questions raced through his mind. He tried his best to collect his thoughts, before finally saying something back in reply. But why did you try to destroy your world?! How would that have made anything better?

Cabot stared ahead a moment, before the meaning of Diyem's words fully dawned on him. "Wait, whaaaat?!" The Cranidos jolted up, only to catch himself and realize he just blurted that out loud. Cabot looked around and noticed that thankfully no one else was nearby, prompting him to sit back...

Cabot put a claw to his mouth as he thought over Diyem's answer. He had heard Owen talk about Diyem being a "Voice of Life" after they defeated Team Spice, but what exactly is a Voice of Life? And more importantly... ... What are you if you're not a Charizard? I mean, I don't mind telling...

Cabot blinked out of surprise. Wait, you don't sleep?! But you're a Charizard, so how is that possible?

That sounds really pretty! I wish I could see it too, Cabot replied, failing to pick up on Diyem's disgusted tone. The Cranidos looked down and idly moved his toes around in the sand as another question he'd been meaning to ask Diyem came to mind. So... what have you been doing in Veritas City...
