You know it's just a curse, right? Whether it gets attacked or not... It doesn't even have feelings.

[sonorant]

Then, may I ask why you let it be? What do you think of this curse's existence?

[turbulency]

I'm keeping it around in case our abilities get unlocked. Then I'll be able to use it.

[ sorry it's very callous ]

[sonorant]

[ she isn't judging, not yet. ]

Forgive me if it's too much to ask, but what would you be able to do with it with your abilities unlocked?

[turbulency]

It's basically infinite storage.

[ the worm steadily crawls toward the water ]

And it can safely store cursed objects, like whatever is going on with the Bible in the church. It might be useful when dealing with a cult.

[sonorant]

[ does the worm win or do leeches win..... ]

That does sound useful.... [ she is thinking there is more to something called a curse, but if it can't do anything.... it's probably fine for now. ] It at least doesn't seem harmful for now.

[ just creepy. ]

[turbulency]

If it looks like it might be dangerous, I'll kill it.

[ it'll be a pain to lose the resource, but needs must.

he looks back at her. ]

... I saw the writing, by the way. About your brother.

[sonorant]

[ well, if he is ready to kill it, what can she say to that? ]

I know it is visible. I am not pretending it's not there.

[turbulency]

[ it's just a curse it can die ]

Are you afraid of your brother?

[sonorant]

Of course not. I love him.

[turbulency]

So he's a regret?

[sonorant]

I regret not spending more time with him. I regret not talking with him more.

[turbulency]

... Oh. He's gone?

[sonorant]

He isn't here.

[ no, she gets what he means, so she expands on it. ]

My chosen path... and my choice to be a singer takes me away from our home a lot.

[turbulency]

[ oh ]

Oh yeah, Boot told me that you all saved a planet...?

[sonorant]

[ ... ]

What else did he tell you?

[turbulency]

Something about a planet falling into a dream?

[sonorant]

Penacony is a planet where you can enter a world of dreams.

[turbulency]

And that's how it's supposed to be?

[sonorant]

It's complicated. There was much going on that was hidden. Some things were how it was supposed to be, and others things... had to be stopped.

[ boothill said something had to be saved. ]

But people dreaming in itself is not abnormal.

[turbulency]

But it just... got out of hand?

[ blinks ]

You're an idol, right?

[sonorant]

I don't know how or when it started, but... it was a little deeper than that.

[ she is keeping it vague on purpose. ]

You can call me that if you want, but my dream was to be a singer more than everything else that comes with it.

[turbulency]

[ nods... ]

Why?
