I’m going to get someone to check on you. Don’t … don’t do anything dangerous. Please.

[princess_of_ida]

I'm fine... I'm fine... I just want to keep you.

[She not fine.]

[moondregs]

I’ll feel better if I know someone in the party has an eye on you.

[princess_of_ida]

They're around here somewhere. Gala's probably not far. She seems to think I need guarding too.

[moondregs]

Gala? Who’s that?

[princess_of_ida]

Gilia's knight from home. She showed up a couple weeks ago. Insists on hovering. I needed a break from her presence before I decided to ear her.

[moondregs]

… I can’t even tell if that statement is part of your current madness or not.

Whoops that was supposed to be 'eat her'

[princess_of_ida]

You know those really pathetic love stories where the knight falls in love with their queen but is taboo and so the knight just pines forever over said queen?

Now imagine having that story on repeat in your brain for days.

[moondregs]

People have already told her it’s a relationship free for all here, I assume.

[princess_of_ida]

Yeah, but they're from the same fucking place, and culturally it's inappropriate given their stations.

I'm so tired of this. I'm going to tell Gilia to just fuck her and get it over with. I can only deal with one woman's jealousy right now.

[moondregs]

Who else is jealous of you?

[princess_of_ida]

She's not jealous of me, just jealous of my attention to others. Keeps thinking I'm choosing people over her.

[moondregs]

Gilia?

[princess_of_ida]

[That got a laugh.]

Gilia doesn't have a jealous bone in her body.

[moondregs]

I didn’t think it sounded like her, no. I just am unfamiliar with your other relationships, I guess.

[princess_of_ida]

Oh, Alina's my girl, too, but she's not here. She stayed in town. I need her to be safe. Check on her?

[moondregs]

Ah, okay. Yeah. It’ll be a little weird for me to just pop into her head since we don’t really know each other … but I’ll try.

[princess_of_ida]

No. With your eyes. Make sure she's okay with your eyes. I can ask her if she's okay in her head.

[moondregs]

Okay. I will.

[princess_of_ida]

Thank you. I miss her. Her scent, her smile, her hair, her thalergy, her... just her.

I'm losing my mind, Junpei. And I'm not allowed to turn it off.

[moondregs]

… Iggy … Iggy is much worse … oh … oh god … ! I need to get help! You can’t stay there!

[princess_of_ida]

We have to. We have to find the heart. I will find the heart, even if it drives me insane.

[That dual voice returned:] There's no saving us.

[moondregs]

[ Feeling helpless, he closes the connection for now to reach out to Murphy. ]

A FEW DAYS LATER...

[princess_of_ida]

Is she okay?

[moondregs]

[ He’s nervous to talk to her. And ashamed that he forgot his promise in the midst of freaking out over Iggy. ]

Yeah …
