[ Hmm. Hmmm! Good questions. Over le journal: ]

Maybe they did. I think the longest-running of the people still living here is about four years...after that, most anyone would be likely to not want to be around any longer.

If it hasn't brought them back by now, I'd imagine they've managed to break its hold...or it doesn't want them anymore. It's quite the question.

[gotcharm]

Well maybe they can just ignore the castle pulling them to go back? They've been gone so long, it's like they're free of the castle's influence.

[fanassaults]

Perhaps. But do you think the castle would just give up on them like that?

[gotcharm]

Why not? If it can get endless people from endless worlds... we must be like ants to it.

[fanassaults]

Maybe...but it does still exert its influence over us. [ sigh ] There's too many conflicting factors.

But when it comes down to it, I'd choose taking down the castle over going home.

[gotcharm]

Hm... [interesting] you hate it that much?

[not that she disagrees, her tone is entirely curious]

[fanassaults]

Not quite.

I just don't want anyone else to have to suffer through what we have.

[gotcharm]

Oh, I get that.

... I don't know what I would choose.

[fanassaults]

Oh? Well, it is a difficult choice...especially with so many people here who could carry on the fight if you returned home.

[gotcharm]

I almost feel like... staying here would be the same as abandoning home. I promised that I would keep protecting it, you know?

[fanassaults]

Mm. That's understandable. It's really an impossible choice.

[gotcharm]

Either way, I don't think there's a wrong choice.

[fanassaults]

Of course not. It's just a matter of who you feel needs you more.

What brought all this on, Yukari-chan?

[gotcharm]

Just thinking about the castle. With all these things that happen, I feel like I can't really just sit on my hands.

[fanassaults]

Mm. With all our power, we should be doing more...and yet we can't, not in any significant way.

It's so frustrating.

[gotcharm]

I'm sure other people are feeling it too. Who knows... maybe we just need to wait for the right chance? Or maybe I'm just telling myself that, I'm not sure.
