>>5645456>>5645454>talk to seniorsBoth associates and the seniors’ plots involve weakening the monarchy, with the former wanting to eliminate its agents’ power from south Clawflash, and the latter wanting to keep the high ranking agents corrupt and blind so the monarchy as a whole gets scammed.
However, compromises are difficult. When Sira pitched the idea of working with the associates, the seniors were quite hesitant with working with them and some were outright hostile. Even with Bow there to help his case, they still don’t budge. Sira tried his best to appease them, but years of negligence towards the senior members cannot be easily fixed by a single day’s worth of actions.

…
Their words sounds a little too familiar.
Downplaying his previous accomplishments or ignoring them when they are disagreeing with him…
Judging his arguments without hearing all the points he will make..
Remaining silent and not acknowledging his points when he comes up with a counter argument..
They are starting to sound like those academy teachers or his parents. They have already made up their mind. No matter how good his points are, it doesn’t really matter — the more he argues, the more he will lose.
The only good move is to not play.
ah. of course. why did i expect anything different. I should’ve known better…After a few minutes, Sira leaves the seniors alone and goes back to talking to the associates.
Although they don’t know about the reason, they can tell Sira feels dejected. After shit talking the seniors and sharing each others’ terrible experiences with them, Sira feels slightly better. He hasn’t reached his goal, but his mind didn’t wander back into his past and wallow in it.
Sira could spend hours telling and listening to all the stories of incompetent or annoying senior members of Red Winter, but he can’t.
After what felt like an hour or so, people begins to spread out and explore the tower. Sira manages to find Bow alone, captivated by the taxidermy animals that decorate the museums of the fourth floor.
