FINAL INVESTIGATION

[Well, your time, your anger, your losses have led up to this.

It's time to go, and that blue card will give access to the floors above. In particular, there is the floor Barbara mentioned before the throne room, which seems to be a good idea to check out beforehand.

Indeed, it's much like the previous floors the Strangers had lived in, only smaller.]



[There is another elevator in the area, but that is inaccessible. Even using Marie's card doesn't seem to work on it. Hm. No matter. Marie's card works on all of these rooms, so it's fine, right?

In any case, if there's answers to be found about just whose in charge - and what in the world is going on - this is the last chance of finding them. You've all gotten this far, and as your teams descend on the rooms, you can feel the end is near. Hopefully, that end is not that of the universe - or of Ivy.

Good hunting, Titled.]

Where I'm from, they call that "havin' a conscience".

[He's speaking so very levelly that the put-on drawl seems natural, for those few words. Then his voice is back to normal.]

You did what you thought you had to, and you regretted it more every time. Then... Yurick, I'd be a horrible person if I didn't think you deserved a second chance. We're just humans. We mess up. Sometimes it's really spectacular, but....

[Yurick snorts lightly.]

Try telling that to Angela. She seems to think I deserve a one-way trip into the incinerator. Maybe she's right. But it's not really her call, not when most of you idiots are fond of me for whatever insane reason.

[backuphero]

She'll come around. She's just... she's really hurting, and I don't think it started here. I'll get between you if I have to, all right?

[He fixes Yurick with a steady gaze underlined by a crooked smile.]

Think I've told you all this before, but... you're my brother, and I know what it's like holding yourself off alone. If not wanting you to do that anymore makes me crazy I'm fine with that.
