[ As he began to address the entirety of her response, the clear sunlight filtering through the window caught on the reflective surface of her orb with a blinding glare. Instinctively, Caster shut her eyes, angling her head away from it. With his enhanced hearing, it would likely sound like a whisper as a single lock of her hair swept over her shoulder with her sudden movement. ]

[ The dense fog outside may have diluted the brightness, but her eyes had grown adjusted to the darkened lighting provided by her hood. She blinked twice more, before she rested the back of curved, gloved fingers against her forehead with a soft, barely audible exhale. After living in the city for nearly three months by now, she hadn't worn her robe quite as often as she did back home. However, it was certainly welcoming, even though the room still wasn't dark enough to her liking. ]

[ She grew aware of a faint pounding behind her temple, but she ignored it, focusing on the words defined by Sephiroth's voice. By the time that he finished speaking, her arm had lowered once more. ]

Shall I send you the list I've compiled with the recorded date of each known arrival? [ She should speak with a hint of returning warmth, but she can't seem to summon it to her voice. Instead, she spoke with the same clarity and calmness befitting neutrality. When she was often a little more expressive with her tone, it may have seemed nearly lifeless. ]

From what I could gather on the history of Siren's Port...the Core first brought in new arrivals for the purpose of populating this city. So, it might be trying to reach or avoid a certain number. [ She glanced back down onto the paper, frowning softly. She didn't have the time to tally the number of people currently living in the city, but even if she did, she wasn't certain whether she had effective means. ] Then, it could be that when the number of residents doesn't meet that criteria, the program runs, but it's only set to activate at the start of each month.

But it is true that I've also wondered whether the Core is sentient. It's a notion that many people are inclined towards, I've noticed. It's unfortunate that only AGI or SERO has the most access to it -- or so we're led to believe.

[ They've advocated their views on either destroying or fixing the Core. Presumably, they would have greater liberties with its research. ]
