“Is there a way to transfer you to another host?” You ask Bruthete if there’s a chance for him to be happy.
“That would require me to go rogue, and I cannot do that in good consciousness. Not only do I have a duty to perform, but there is a balance we must maintain. Any Judge who rebels must be exterminated. It’s difficult to prove, but discarding my partner is a malpractice that won’t be tolerated, even if my intentions are to continue doing my duties.” Bruthete sees no way out. “And as I mentioned, Gerard is very popular with the creatures from the other dimension, and it’s best not to provoke them and maintain peace.” Politics are in the way, basically. How lame! That’s the lame stuff that should stick to your world and nowhere else!
“You’re telling us that having this psychopath running around is better than the alternative? That’s hard to believe.” Odetta points out.
“We’re in the middle of two paths: one of foreseen consequences and the other of unforeseen ones. My duty is to the game, to you, and all the participants. So I must choose the one I can prepare for.” Bruthete explains.
“One path is total destruction, Mr. Bruthete. Perhaps you should reconsider?” Kata points out it’s suicide if Gerard accomplishes his objective.
“My partner is anything but competent, reaching that destination isn’t certain.” Bruthete justifies. “And if the world is truly in great peril, I’ll do what I must…”
“As far as I understand, the pathways to this world once shut are impenetrable. So, I must ask, in all sincerity, why should we care about those entities revolting in their own world?” Fiora brings a magnificent point, and honestly, it was something you were thinking! But it was kinda mean, so you didn’t say it. “And I’m sure the other judges will turn a blind eye if you ask them to.”
“The game’s objective is to bring peace to the other dimension as much as it is to choose a new leader.” Bruthete points out that this line of thought contradicts years of work. “Please understand that it’ll be catastrophic if I get rid of Gerard.” Hey, he said Kata’s name!
“...Yes, I do understand.” Fiora won’t push the issue. But something tells you she got the answer she was looking for. “Please, keep us in your thoughts, and try to find ways to help us along the way.”
“I will, madam.” Bruthete nods once again. “Now, I’ll take this man to the infirmary.” He walks away…
“I can check your wounds properly if you want, Mr. Bruthete.” Kata REALLY wants to heal his wounds.
“No, the pain feels nice.” Bruthete walks away… that was a concerning thing to say. Kata pouts, all disappointed.
