She has been having insomnia as a side-effect from getting a flame.” Giorsal casually informs. “The symptom appeared fairly recently, so I’m making sure I’m not wrong with my diagnosis.” The Judge clears her throat. “Enough of this for now. May I ask why you brought this player here?”
“We told you about her, she’s Johnny’s friend. Kinda. She’s like a bodyguard of sorts...” Scarlet has issues explaining what a Suan De is.
“She’s a trustworthy and harmless hobo.” You assure.
“Is she?” Giorsal isn’t quite sure.
“…I’m not the one feeding people to plants.” Suan De is the one feeling wary.
“<span class="mu-i">W-What?</span>” Scarlet doesn’t get it.
At that moment, you realize the abnormally thick plants you mentioned have people’s faces at their center, they all look soundly asleep – meaning they’re alive. You recognize a couple, the former flame users, cultists, and… <span class="mu-s">Kaz</span>.
“Gio! What the hell?!” Scarlet gets creeped out and returns to the buffalo.
“T-This might look weird, but I have a good explanation!” Giorsal didn’t expect to be questioned.
“Might?” You raise an eyebrow with all your energy, you couldn’t pass up the opportunity to look cheeky.
“What I’m trying to say is pretty simple! I infused these plants with Spiritual Energy to preserve these comatose bodies in good condition.” Giorsal gets a little nervous. “This is better than them hogging space inside medical facilities. After Judgment Day, there wasn’t enough space for everyone…”
“Wouldn’t it be better just to kill them?” This is less of a suggestion and more about Suan De wanting to know where Giorsal stands.
“No need. I will return them to consciousness once the war is over.” Giorsal states. “But allow me to showcase this power. Johnny, you said you want to recover your tired body, jump in a flower!”
You can’t move…
<span class="mu-s">What do you do?</span>
>“Nope. I want a Marshmallow instead, please.” You’re not anyone’s guinea pig.>“S-Sure, I guess…” You trust Gio… Keep telling yourself that.>“I’m good. Can’t jump. L-Let’s meet with Constance instead, everyone.” Retreat! This was a bad idea!>“W-We’ll figure this out later, continue checking on Rora. I’m worried.” Suggest!>Write In.
