[Kor has doubts about that, Chalcedony. He's seen you get worked up over even the tiniest of bugs. He'd press him on the issue, but Chalcedony said the magic K word.]

Wait, you're just now asking about all this?! I... Yeah, that's the last thing I remember, too. We made it to Mysticete thanks to you and the power of your Soma, but then we got thrown out, and... I woke up here. Literally! And that's the last time I ever saw anybody from home. Until now, because you're here!

[virtues]

There is something important I must tell you regarding my Soma. I cannot use Reinheit in this world.

It's troubling me because I don't know if my resolve just isn't strong enough or something else is amiss.

[ Is his heart getting weaker? It's a concern that's been weighing on his mind for a while now. He seems unusually serious but that's about normal for Chal too.]

[spirialink]

Wait, really? Like, not at all? Can you at least call your weapon out?

[Well, that's troubling. Kor's had no trouble using his Soma here in this world, So Chalcedony not being able to be a Somatic at all sounds very concerning...]

[virtues]

You can see for yourself. Where are you now? I tried looking for you earlier but my efforts ended in futility.

[DO YOU KNOW HOW BIG THIS TOWN IS? He'd spend forever looking for Kor if he didn't just contact him over the journal.]

A demonstration might be in order.

[spirialink]

You were trying to find me?

[Well, that's weird.]

Why didn't you just try to sense me with our Somatic Bond?

[He says it so easily, like it's so obvious.]

Um! I'm at the office right now! The boss sure keeps me busy. I'll meet you somewhere, just tell me where!

[virtues]

I believe I tried that already and I sensed something off! It didn't feel quite right so I wanted to confirm some things.

[This new dreamotion stuff is weird. It's like Kor himself has changed in some ways too.]

The strength of your heart has changed.

[spirialink]

The strength... of my heart?

[He repeats those words back. He'd never considered the current state of his Spiria and where it was compared to back home.]

Is that a good thing?

[virtues]

It means I think you've gotten older but that can't be right. Aren't we the same age?

There must be some kind of mistake.

[Bro you're 16.]

[spirialink]

How old am I? Umm... I'm...

[Give him a moment. He's thinking. The gears are grinding. Please wait warmly.]

...Seventeen! No, wait, eighteen? Crap, did I forget my birthday again...

[virtues]

How can you call yourself a man if you don't even remember your own age?

Think, Kor Meteor. This shouldn't be too difficult for you.

[He can't believe this is happening. ]

[spirialink]

What's my age got to do with me being a man?!

[He can't believe this either.]

[virtues]

It's got everything to do with you being a man.

Are you still a child even after everything you've done?

[spirialink]

Hold on a minute, if I'm older than you and I'm a child, what does that make you then?

[virtues]

It makes me more mature than you.

You'll understand the truth someday.

[spirialink]

I don't understand that at all.

[virtues]

Then what do you understand, Kor Meteor?

If you ask me I think you understand nothing as you are now.

[spirialink]

There are plenty of things I understand.

Being an adult just isn't one of them.

[virtues]

If you want to be an adult you need maturity and experience.


You're lacking both of these. Maybe venturing out into this world will give you further insight.

[spirialink]

Since you know so much about maturity and experience, you should come with me then, Chal!

[virtues]

I'll come with you for the time being. You should lead the way.

[He just doesn't want to admit that he'll get lost....]

[spirialink]

Ah, good call! You never know what kinds of creepy insects you might run into out there, after all! Don't worry, Chal, I'll protect you from them!

[He's being genuine about stomping all the bugs for Chalcedony's, and yet...

...He still sounds like he's mocking Chalcedony's phobia.]

[virtues]

There are no insects, stop this at once. [He refuses to listen to this nonsense...!!]

Should there be such a thing it will answer to my blade.

[Being stubborn as always. ]

[spirialink]

That's impressive, Chal! If you can stand up to giant bugs now, then I'm not the only one who's gotten a stronger heart!

[Is he complimenting Chalcedony or mocking him? The answer is yes.]

[virtues]

Yes, well I realized that strength of the heart comes from friendship. I'd be foolish to go alone.

[He's dragging you with him if it's the last thing he does.]

You would accompany me on such an endeavor, right? [RIGHT?]

[spirialink]

Of course. We're friends, after all, I'd never let you have to fight by yourself!

[Anything they can't do alone, they surely can do together.]

And if we come across any big creepy crawlies, I'll let you take the lead so you can show me how much you've overcome your fears!
