Fire and water alone can't kill or purify.

They lack motive. And so, Kasumi-san's gift brings no stain to her dignity.

Which leaves the question of where those who left are, and what has become of them.

[it is sometimes very, very difficult to accept that this is one's Illustrious Leader of DOOM. Just for the record.]

[slighted_stains]

It would have been difficult not to sense the alternative. They left in numbers.

[whoistheother]

So why is it still a question?

[slighted_stains]

Because where they survived is different from the truth of that survival.

[whoistheother]

They didn't escape.

[slighted_stains]

...you've looked in the Hall.

[whoistheother]

They're on the Network.

[and now that he actually, you know, checks - ]

Water...

There was a water-master among the Dragons of Earth. Who is he, exactly?

[whoistheother]

Why?

[slighted_stains]

It seems fitting to ask.

[whoistheother]

There is one among the Dragons of Earth.

[slighted_stains]

Who is he? As a person, not a name.
