If anyone else felt that, don't be alarmed. We spoke to the student council president, and I believe Etoile and myself now possess this layer's Authority.

We were able to discern that the previous president was the Authority before we arrived, and presumably through this place's stagnation became...well. We'll likely meet her in the underside, let me leave it at that.

It was a complicated situation, but I believe both this layer and the rest of us will be able to move on very soon. Make sure you are all prepared.

Oh, this wasn't aimed at you specifically. I meant it for everyone else.

[Read: Veil and Etoille and literally everyone else except maybe Wolfsbane, because Wolfsbane may be a Problem Child but he's also pretty sure she's not dumb enough to assuming talking works every time.]

I know that, Sword. I only wanted my stance on the matter to be made clear, nothing more.

You did well, initial aggression aside. Thank you for your patience.

She wasn't trying to kill us. I didn't see a point in encouraging her to do so.

[discutio]

Agreed, certainly. It's still a fine line to walk in determining when compassion is needed versus aggression, and yet more difficult to exercise one when the other has become more expected.
