[Action/Private thought]
[Wataru couldn't sleep. Part of it was, admittedly, Savyna's disappearance. He was worried about her, of course, and there wasn't really much he could do about it.
The other part was... well, everyone else. His friends, from Vision and earth, and most importantly, his mother. When was the last time he had seen her? Only briefly, when he had walked down the Corridor of Light to visit her from Vision. It was hardly any time at all. And she had looked so thin then...
And then there was the matter of his friends in Vision. Kee Keema and Meena would surely worry about him, if they'd known what happened. And his journey to meet the Goddess of Fate - what would happen when he returned? Halnera was in effect, and the last Traveler to reach the Tower would be sacrificed. Two minus one equals one. Mitsuru had already been ahead of him, even before he ended up in the Pokémon world. Was he now doomed? Had Mitsuru been able to reach the tower unhindered, leaving him as the only one left remaining? All because somewhere in his heart, there was a world that demanded sacrifices.
With these thoughts troubling him, Wataru sits by a window in the hallway of the inn, staring out at the stars.]

[When Wataru turns on the Gear, he looks a little uncertain. He doesn't really know if anyone is even awake at this hour, nor if anyone would bother answering even if they were, but... he wants to know anyway.]
Does anyone know... what would make a goddess or a god need a sacrifice?
