[It's been almost a full 24 hours since her arrival. Chrono tells himself (repeatedly, while forcing down meals, while lying uselessly awake all night, while putting himself through the motions of morning chores and training) that the best thing he could do for her is stay the hell away from her. He knows she doesn't remember the whole story, knows he's in an unfair position because he does

He wonders if there would even be any point in discussing such things with a prophet.

But his resolve is as weak as his ability to fixate on anything but her, and he's standing before unit 808 before he really knows it, torn on what to do, what he should be doing. More important than the possible dissemination of information, he's— selfish. She's here, alive and whole, smiling that same enigmatic smile that made him want to carve all her secrets open 54 years ago. Perhaps what leads him to the apartment is his own selfish childishness.

He raises his hand, half-knocks once, before his courage promptly deserts him and his hand falters mid-way through the second knock. What is he doing?]

[It's a hopeful thought, one that she expected from him. Fighting against Pandemonium. But can things truly differ and change simply by being in a different place? They would change nothing in the end. This was borrowed time, surely. Risky borrowed time. But nothing of that seemed appropriate to say. He was likely well aware of the eventual end.

Still, his words are encouraging. She nods in agreement. Her question is calm though with genuine interest. She can assume, but for now she won't.]


How will we fight her?

[She looks seemingly reassured, even though she's far from it. But she won't hesitate in front of him. He has enough to worry about than trying to convince her of possibilities. Still, she may need to consider alternatives.]

Are you already familiar with many here who may help?
