I'll keep this short and to the point to give you guys time to strategize, catch up, all of that.

Congrats on your Magatus missions. Looks like everything's been cleared out as best as we can, but the region's been evacuated thanks to a couple of factors.

The new problem is we just added a bunch of people to city limits.

I've got some good news and some bad news.

Bad news: need some people out in Pesgare to do some deepdiving and recovery. It doesn't look like there's anything out there that'll kill you, but I need something from down there to stabilize Recollé itself.

Good news: got the subway working. Did you know it was just about coding? That's a little crazy to me and okay, I might have found out on accident, but…whatever was blocking exits from the city was just a false creation.

It means getting out of here and checking out the progress outside. The trains will be ready for departure in about a week, I'll get some maps drawn up and everything. I could really use some of you on location scouting.

Finally…who knows about machinery? We've got a problem we should probably look into, but keeping track of that eye's a huge pain in the ass.

Discuss, get in touch with me, prepare. You know the drill.

I, um.

May have gotten shot and cracked a rib while I was holding on to it.

So now I guess they think I'll be reckless if I have it, so I'm not allowed to have it.

What? But, wouldn't they want you to have such a thing in case you get in a really bad situation? You never know when crazy dangerous stuff will happen.

In their defense, it does require me to think slightly more before jumping headlong into danger.

It's a buff for healing spells anyway, though, so at the end of the day it's really better off left with Elliot. Like I said, my magical ability is pretty limited even with that.

You're the type of person to go into a flaming house to rescue a cat, disregarding how dangerous it could be, and not thinking ahead in case something goes wrong aren't you?

But if the house is on fire, the cat would be in even more danger...

[...Well, there's your answer.]

[Yup, there is his answer.]

With that kind of reaction, I feel you'd want something to have your back in moments like those. But apparently your friends think differently.

[...]

It's Elliot's property, not mine. If the guy who's saved me at least twice needs it, if he thinks it's better I don't have it, I trust his judgement.

Oh right, that was his...

Pity.
