Oh man, you can’t disappoint Constance! It’s her big day! You don’t think anyone would mind this tiny detour.
“Sure, let’s do it now.” You nod. No need for more delays. It’s hard for you to keep up with all the stuff you have to do if you continue leaving them for later.
“Uhm, everyone, can you give us a little moment <span class="mu-i">alone</span>? It’s not going to take long, I promise.” Constance asks nicely. She’s holding her dad’s hand, so you don’t expect him to go. Anyway, why did her words feel like a pun...?
“Of course, sweetheart. Take all the time you need. We’ll be around if you need us.” Nurse Calamity will always prioritize Volleyball Head’s happiness. “Misty, our dear uncle wanted to see us. Shall we go now?”
“Very well, with everything sappy out of the way, we can have fun with him.” Misty is in a cheerful mood. “See you later, you two.” Misty and Kata blow some kisses.
“Should we wait outside or do something else, Jaylene?” Odetta wasn’t planning to be left alone again.
“Mmm, why don’t we meet with your new teammates?” Jaylene proposes. Spooky shrugs. That seems to be their plan of action.
“See ya in a bit, tall boy, lil’ girl, and potential psychopath.” Odetta waves goodbye to whoever is left. Jaylene reassures she’ll fulfill her part of the deal as they go.
You’re left alone with Constance and Solomon. This feels like it’s more important than you originally thought.
“What an entertaining bunch, no wonder my daughter never lost her smile...” Solomon cleans his sunglasses with his shirt.
“So, what’s up?” You wonder.
“Don’t ask me. It’s my daughter’s request.” Solomon has no clue.
“<span class="mu-i">Actually…</span>” Constance channels the energy from what is resting on her wounded eye…
The dark tints darker as the presence of the Judge is revealed… <span class="mu-s">Athelone is summoned!</span> Last time you saw her, she was the host of the Quiz Duel between Nariko and Tonu at Piss Town! She barely acknowledged you back then, so you expect this occasion to be more chatty!
“<span class="mu-i">Oh, John… ny~!</span> What a spectacular performance!” Athelone expands her arms with a gleeful expression! “What a man you have become! Praises to you for fulfilling your promise.”
“Wasn’t expecting you to ever congratulate us for anything, Judge.” Philonune talks to the entity. For some reason, everyone caught onto what he said. Perhaps it’s Athelone’s doing?
“Fallen Angel, how can I not? You brought so much joy to my precious Crystal Princess. Before? Not so much. You understand I’m all about fairness…” Athelone cackles.
“A fallen angel? An enemy of the creator? Positives? Hmm?” That voice doesn’t sound familiar at all. It appears to come from Solomon’s flame!
“Pay no mind. The moment is yours.” Solomon puts both of his fingers on his flame’s lips. You’re not sure how that works.
