"I guess I'll wait for them here." Rexial responded. "...Say, about the Recompletion Machine... You know, it was built based on theories by scientists of Asylum. Shortly after the invasion, Xeromus ordered that one be built and housed in a secondary castle... But I'm wondering if those theories were correct. The machine was used on two people, as I recall... myself, and Sally. I have to wonder if it actually worked properly."

"I remember my first words when I emerged... 'But I'm not Aleri. I'm Rexial.' Could it be that it didn't actually work as intended? The process was unstable when I used it, but it was repaired before Sally's operation. I want to look into it at some point, but it's not like I have access to the secrets of the universe. I can't just cross-check and see if the machine actually worked."

"...Sorry for rambling, Kotank. I'll be in the meeting room upstairs, waiting for them. Just yell if you need me for something."

<I could be wrong about it having been used on Sally by this point, but I'm pretty sure it had been by now.>

<It had.>

Kotank nodded in understanding before typing, "I should probably also mention that we're trying to expand our ranks. If you know anyone who fits the bill, let us know, ok?"

"Gotcha." He went back into the hall, ascending the main stairs...

<Do you want to actually show what's going on in Twilight Town, or just return immediately? I've got an idea for Twilight Town, if you feel that you should actually do something there on-screen, but don't know what to do that wouldn't be typical, boring shopping-related actions, possibly interspersed with monologues or dialogue between Dispatch and Siks.>

Siks and Dispatch were picking up materials at the synthesis shop in Tram Common.

The Tram Common was a bit emptier than usual... not many people were wandering around. A couple of teenagers could be seen running towards the Sandlot, where something was going on...

"That delinquent again?"

"Ugh, what's that kid's deal!?"

In the Sandlot, a crowd had gathered over some commotion. It sounded like a street brawl...

"This is the third time this week!"

"Today's Monday."

"I know!"


The shopkeeper seemed to be a bit distracted by the noise. "Ugh, that punk is stirring up trouble again. We should hurry up and form a REAL Disciplinary Committee..."

Siks quickly paid for the supplies and turned to Dispatch. "Come on, let's go see what's up."

The fight that the crowd had gathered around was between a couple of teenagers...

"Quit raising trouble in my town!"

"Just as soon as you stop being an arrogant prick!"

One was wearing a longcoat without sleeves and a beanie, the other was a girl in a hoodie and sweatpants.

"Seriously, cut it out before I have to really mess you up!"

"Go to hell, Seifer!"

They both had Struggle swords, so they probably wouldn't be able to kill each other, at least... but that aside, it was no-holds-barred. It was a vicious fight, and the girl was the more aggressive one, while Seifer was more reactionary. She must've started the fight over something.

The guy sneered at Siks. "Tch, an outsider? Just what I needed to see to brighten my day..." He rolled his eyes and grit his teeth.

The person next to him gave him an elbow in the ribs. "Don't be such a jerk to them, or you'll ruin the town's reputation. Just tell 'em."

The first one massaged his bruised chest as he answered. "Well, this b*tch has been raising hell around here lately. She keeps yelling nonsense about monsters, and some kid who disappeared."

"Who's the guy she's fighting?" he asked, ignoring the guy's attitude.

"She's fighting Seifer, self-proclaimed head of his imaginary Disciplinary Committee." The guy informed the two. "Word on the street is, the girl started an argument and it escalated quickly."

Siks turned to Dispatch and whispered to him, "Wait here. I'll take care of this." He then made his way through the crowd until he reached the Sandlot itself.

Since approaching the Sandlot from the Tram Commons meant going down a slope, Siks was able to see over the heads of the crowd, and sure enough, resident idiot Seifer was fighting some girl.

The crowd was partially on Seifer's side, as they clearly disliked the person he was fighting, but nobody actually liked him... he was just less hated than the girl.

The air was charged with tension, and it was clear that, regardless of the outcome of the fight, nobody would be happy. Something was different about the town... everybody was on-edge. And it clearly wasn't just about some delinquent girl: there was something seriously wrong here.

Maintaining a calm demeanor, Siks approached the two combatants, clearly looking to settle the dispute.

Seifer charged at the girl, trying to send her flying into a wall - given the lack of alternatives for causing her damage without entering close combat - but as he moved in, the girl sidestepped, grabbed him, and spun in place, throwing him at Siks.

Seeing this, Siks promptly pulled his fist back and slugged Seifer in the nose, further knocking him off balance.

The young man recoiled from the hit, blood running from his nose as he fell backwards, unconscious. The crowd slowly dissipated...

The girl was still catching her breath after the fight, panting heavily. Once she had calmed down, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked over to Siks. "Thanks. Serves that punk right... pretending he didn't know Al. Still... the others are acting the same way. What's going on lately?"

She caught herself. "Uh, sorry. You're don't live here, do you?"

"No, I don't," he said before looking at the crowd and then back to her. "This may sound a bit strange, but can I ask you a few questions? In private? If what I've heard about you is right, I think we can help each other."

"Tch, you've heard about me? What, that I'm a delinquent with an overactive imagination?" She glared at the last few people leaving the area. "...If my own friends and family don't believe me, if my own town won't believe me... how could a couple of outsiders believe what I say? What, do you see the black creatures too?" The girl chuckled darkly. "Get chased out of your home town because nobody believed you?"

"Your half right," he told her, remaining calm, "Though, my experience with them just separated me from the woman I love for years." His face softened a bit, showing that he was sincere. "Look, I'm not here to hassle you. And I'm not some psychologist who thinks he can 'cure' you. I believe you're dealing with a legitimate threat and that we can help each other combat it." He held out his hand. "My name's Siks."

She blinked, surprised that anybody actually believed her. "You... you mean it?" Eagerly shaking his hand, the girl introduced herself. "Vita Colletta's the name. I suppose, if you tell me your story, I'll tell you mine. We should probably go somewhere else to talk, though..." She gestured to Seifer, still lying on the ground, out cold.

"Lead the way," he said, looking back at Seifer as well with a slight pang of pity. "Poor sap never saw me coming."

"Ah, eheh..." She was unwilling to forgive Seifer at the moment, but it WAS her who threw him at Siks in the first place. "Right."




Minutes later, the three of them were sitting on Station Tower. "So, Siks, what's your story? You've been dealing with those monsters too, you said? Come to think of it, I might have seen you once before... erm, there was another outsider, one with a black coat and blue hair. You know him?"

Siks visibly clenched at that. "That's where my story starts. The guy you saw is called Zexion. He's…" Siks had to mull over how to go about explaining this. "Look, before I keep going, you should know that I'm not exactly…" he held up his hand and summoned Radiance. "…normal."
