Quoted By:
“...I’m never giving up my investigation.” You’re done with these ‘negotiations.’ Billy feels reassured.
“I guess I overestimated you.” Uzziel is underwhelmed by an innocuous response. You bet his life is a constant of disappointment after disappointment.
“Shows how lousy of a tactician you are.” You’re too pragmatic to be considered hard to understand.
“Me? A fool? You’re the one rooting for a rotting world.” Uzziel finds YOU foolish for being so headstrong about a ‘bad’ idea.
“It’s the only one we got.” You had a decent time once, nothing says it won’t happen again.
“Not with our powers.” Uzziel retorts. “On its current course, it’s destined for doom. We can revive this rotten corpse for something anew.”
“*People* will still be in charge.” You have no reason to believe it’ll be any different. And that’s not even counting for the fact that the Creator will be in charge if he gets his way.
“You’re just unimaginative.” Uzziel looks down on you.
“And you’re deluded.” You break physics to look down on him as well. You turn your sights to Hanno. “Lloydington is down there, isn’t he?”
“I have heard that’s the case, but I’m not entirely sure.” Hanno says with all honesty.
“He is...” Uzziel believes this will intimidate you.
“We’re going down there.” You have decided.
“A suicidal move, no matter how surprising, is *still* a suicide move.” Uzziel believes you’re trying to show bravado. It appears he’s the most unimaginative of you two.
“My decision is final. But you’re not coming along, you’re staying here with Buonanotte.” You need to keep your enemies away.
“H-He is?” Buonanotte didn’t like hearing it.
“Alert me if you’re in danger.” You’ll be next to his entity in any case, and the phone call is still going.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Buonanotte! Uzziel won’t hurt you!” Hanno promises.
“I have no obligation to go along with your plan, Mr. Wright.” Uzziel points out, but his eyes turn to his friend. “But, Hanno, this is the perfect opportunity to get in Lloydington’s good graces. I’m relying on you.”
“You won’t regret this decision, Uzzy.” Hanno pumps his fist.
You and Hanno board the rather slow elevator, you two have enough time to exchange some words.
“Sir, can I confess something to you before we get down there?” Hanno breaks the ice.
“I’m not going to stop you.” You’re hoping your phone doesn’t lose its signal.
“I don’t agree with Uzziel in the slightest. I love being here, it’s my home. How can someone look around and find it all a waste? All the life? All the love? All the kindness? It’s incomprehensible, really. I believe this world is wonderful.” Hanno looks up, face still in a perpetual grin. “As long as its heart still beats, I want to preserve it. It’s like you said — it’s the only one we have.”
