... We'll see. I'd rather not have it, or hell, even Gotou show up here. [ She's referring to her teacher without any honorifics, how sweet. ]

Yeah. But I've been thinking about it lately. Even though the Bridge was "held hostage", it didn't sound like that was the case initially, which I find rather strange. I need to find out why the Bridge was taken in the first place, or rather, what would allow the other spirits or natives give the Bridge to CERES, even if it's in exchange for gifts. [ She shrugs at the thought, letting out a deep sigh. ]

And yeah. I've been to their facility too. I mean, at least I know better now how to deal with those damn shadow creatures now. [ It should be obvious?? ] It's definitely a poor cover story. But the issue is the fact that I don't think CERES is full of idiots. But it doesn't make sense that they'd write a cover story that nobody would believe. While there may be some bits and pieces that may be true, like the fact that yeah, it seems we're made of code. I mean, we can disappear from this world for three days of Cerealia's time, but be in our home worlds for longer than that. Plus, there's the Nexus Code.

But even with knowing these things there always ends up being more questions... left unanswered.
