[Hey look, it's someone who looks like Kura.]

Hello, can I bother you?

[second_first]

[Rei looks up and sets her device aside. That's as much of an answer as she feels obligated to give.]

[mypeoplesgood]

You've spoken to my other, haven't you?

[second_first]

... [A nod.]

[mypeoplesgood]

I don't know what to do about him. He treats people like objects, but it's not right.

[second_first]

...Is it your place to do something?

[mypeoplesgood]

Perhaps he will listen to me because I bear his face. How he treats people is wrong, but he won't listen to them.

[second_first]

Perhaps.

[mypeoplesgood]

He can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because a magic sword got thrown at him.

[second_first]

...Is that why?

[mypeoplesgood]

He feels that the Nox Light makes him more worthy. He would even kill someone for speaking its name.

[second_first]

What is it?

[mypeoplesgood]

It is one of the five living weapons. It is what makes him immortal.

[second_first]

Like Lunar Mercury.

[mypeoplesgood]

Yes.

[second_first]

Nox Light...
