All of you, think real hard about why these experiments do what they do.

Get back to me with your ideas and then we'll talk.

The states that the previous people were in -- the shopkeepers. Miss Carol. Was it due to repeated experiments that they ended up in such a state?

[Private]

[malnosso]

No.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

So it wasn't...

Was that a result of the third party's involvement? To completely start over, and leave them as examples?

[Private]

[malnosso]

No. That was all us.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

Were the individuals chosen for specific reasons?

[Private]

[malnosso]

Yup.

...except Tyr.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

His name seems to carry the most weight among most of you. Save John, but he marches to a different drummer.

What was the difference? Was he... did he begin as a Malnosso?

[Private]

[malnosso]

...Tyr's the reason you people aren't dead. Worse than dead.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

"Us people"... the ones forced to live in the environment. Did he help the others?

[Private]

[malnosso]

Tyr helped everyone.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

If he was such a help... why would an example need to be made of him?

[Private]

[malnosso]

It wasn't.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

... Was it to preserve what was left?

[Private]

[malnosso]

A macabre attempt, yes. Call it grotesque if you want; I would.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

How long ago was that?

[Private]

[malnosso]

Too long.

I don't want to talk about it anymore.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

... Understood.

Would you allow other questions, or are you done for the day?

[Private]

[malnosso]

I've got nothing better to do.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

Hmm.

Very well. You've implied that we all are brought here from the same source... so assuming that the Malnosso don't have as much control over things as they seem, are you the ones who are ... sitting on the source, so to speak? For there to be a distinction between Malnosso and Filial, something had to have changed for the system to develop.

[Private]

[malnosso]

Something changed all right, but we're not the original source.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

The third party encouraged this shift?

[Private]

[malnosso]

Through their actions. It was mostly us, though.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

Are the barcodes the only things that are different between the two groups, aside from the obvious differences in position?

[Private]

[malnosso]

Oh no, there's a fuckton of differences.

[Private]

[wise_maiden]

Does it have to do with our powers?
