( It's strange for Alexiel to be so reclusive. In fact, in a way, it goes against her core nature. But she cannot hide her despair this time. She sounds as if her heart and soul have been ripped from her. )

You take, but you do not give.

( The sound of rushing wind follows that cryptic statement and the connection sounds a little unstable. )

Bring him back.

Has half the City lost their minds...?! [Pot meets kettle, yes, but the point still stands.]

Woman, calm down!

( Alexiel makes no move to change to audio again. Her dark hair is falling in front of her face and her eyes are unfocused. )

...I don't know. ( She assumes he was sent back to the point which he was taken, but she has no proof. ) I cannot follow.

What can you do? Will you fight them for his sake?

[Video]

[theonewhodied]

Wait and see.

[vengefully]

Someone was taken from you?

[confined_to_briah]

Setsuna. ( And...someone else, perhaps. ) We did not share a body here, but I could sense him. Now there's nothing but emptiness.

[vengefully]

Another who is missing?
