"I'm sure, one way or another, there was a reason you ended up being picked," Buffet said. "You should be able to pull through. And some humans did eventually return to their homes; it isn't as if they're always trapped. Push forward!"

A letter appears in your dreams. You pick it up, because what else was there to do? But the moment it's opened, you're standing in the middle of a great field of grass with not a sign of civilization anywhere. Inside the letter are instructions on how to play, and a horrible punishment awaiting...

"It could be that the Radiance affected their... activity rather than their mood," Eien said, sighing. "Well... As it stands, that's all we have. I'm going to let Diyem know about this and see if he can do anything about it. Thank you, everyone, for all your efforts."

The parasite ignored Dave for all but one phrase. "Leader... There is no leader. I just am... Ever since I was born... ever since I woke up..." "You really don't understand," the gatherer replied. "What comes... after. After it ends?" The parasite's head slowly, slowly swiveled toward Nate. No...

"Well! how about that..." Puff grinned, looking it over. "All right, then. I guess if that's how you want to play it... show me what you're capable of, Astrid. Just what can you do?" Puff looked like he was about to do something else, but then smirked a little and shrugged. "Well, I guess...

The parasite stared at Nate for a while, then, and then lowered its head, like he wasn't worth the time. Nate got no response. Eien hummed. "I don't know if there's much more here... I don't know if it wants to elaborate at all."

I think Puff... is hiding his moves from you! I think he just tried... something... but it wasn't attacking you. Uh, obviously. I don't know. Did he do something else? So he was performing techniques, but hiding them. Perhaps if Astrid attacked, they would be known... but perhaps that, too, was...

"Parasites?" It hissed, weighing that word in its mind, like it had only listened to it, or bothered listening, for the first time. "I'm not a parasite. I'm a gatherer. And all I've gathered... is how much pain the world hides. The world wants to end. I will gather it all."

It dribbled more corrosive liquid on the ground and hissed. "Nothing is coming." High above, the moon, in large pieces, loomed over them. It was more than halfway repaired by now. "Nothing for everyone."

No nonverbal response. It continued to lay on the ground. A dribble of bubbling energy left its mouth. It looked like it was eating away at the pavement beneath it. "It won't matter," it said. "Soon nothing will matter." "Goodness..." Eien shuddered, but kept her focus.

"You'd be surprised," Puff said, and then he seemingly disappeared, reappearing right behind Astrid. He could have struck Astrid then, but instead he leaned forward and asked, "Well, Astrid!" And his words were like a vice on her movements. Something magical was behind his speech. "Tell us a...

It didn't respond at first to Nate, and it made no movements that would require Dave to do anything. Its head twitched in Nate's direction when he spoke, so he had its attention, if it used ears to hear. But it only let out a low, gurgling hiss in response. Wordless, icy, empty. But despite...

"You know," Puff said, "This is a bit of an unorthodox way to conduct a proper interview... But I guess, with the way Team Spectrum is..." Incineroar was already announcing it for all of Cibus to hear, as Astrid and Puff seemed ready to duke it out. Though, at this point, after what they had...

"I don't know what will happen," Eien said simply. "I--I don't have much time, though. I heard one undecided and one go for it, I'm--ah, it's waking up. I need to do this now." And so, she channeled the energy through. Her eyes dimmed, and the threads looked to be very, very delicate... And...

"...Well... I can suppress a few things, but... I'm not sensing the same... reaction if it feels positive emotions the way Diyem does. There's nothing for me to block there. But I feel as if... it simply does not know how to feel positive emotions. It isn't a matter of being harmed by it... but...

The Parasite hissed in response and Chip distracted it with a zap once the initial barrier broke up. "Get ready to seal it again if this doesn't work!" They still had to break open the barrier so it could even take the Yawn. The sleepy bubble popped over the Parasite and it hissed and squirmed...

"I'll stay back," Eien said. "You'll need a way to hold it down while I work, if it wakes up in the middle, but... I think you have that covered." Chip buzzed. "I might have something in the lab, but, er..." He eyed the Parasite. "Well. Let's see what you guys plan. I'll... get ready with some...

"Hmm... Let me help," Eien offered. Little filaments of darkness emerged from the center of Eien's core, trailing toward Nate. They were no thicker than yarn. "This may feel a little odd, but it will help you get through, I... think." The yarn wrapped around Nate's upper shoulders and clung...

"You know, typically humans are considered to be saviors under most circumstances. Well, there was that Gengar, but eventually he had a change of--ahh, not important." Buffet shook his head. "Though, you do seem to be more... anxious than most humans that I'd summon."

Buffet tilted his head. "Um... Is it not obvious?" he mumbled aloud, drifting left and right as he inspected the cherry blossom tree. It had been clear to him the moment he'd arrived. Then again, Buffet was... familiar with spirits that had this particular scent. "I suppose it's pretty obvious...
