From the white lights, the darkness comes...

[sageking]

Today's trial was a mixture of regret, anger, guilt, and second-thoughts. Perhaps some people realized that situations and choices weren't to be black or white. However, decisions were made, and whether it'd be through people keeping secrets or causing a ton of chaos...everyone could probably agree on one thing:

They've made their choices and no matter what happened in the coming days, they will lie in the beds they made for themselves. Whatever that should mean for each and every single person still living here.

That being said, there's still new choices to make. In the days to come, what will those be?

[ The blond will ascertain the other man's answer, and then he decided that he found it adequate. ]

...I'll be having a meeting tomorrow.

Now's the time to truly start bringing some plans together—including our most extreme ones—and seeing how we could execute them to our advantage because no matter what anyone thought of Subete, he was right to believe we can't simply wait around anymore.

I believe your attendance will add some value to the meeting. Though, I do suppose the choice is up to you.

[ Good, after that trial it's the most important Hikage can ask for. He nods, his expression mellowing out. ]

I'll be there, but I'll likely leave the discussion to you and the others. I'd like to get through this [ He pats the book. ] as fast as possible, but that doesn't mean I can't listen.

Good enough, I suppose. I expect you believe that may add some value to our cause.

[ And he would hope that it did because so far he had been experiencing so many disappointments lately. Sometimes when the bar was so low and yet people manage to dig further past that to get six feet under (not in the sense of their own death but it may as well be)? Ridiculous. ]

I may also ask some questions towards the end of the meeting about your ability. [ With some gracious feet away from the others; possibly right as he hustled most of the people out for last-ditch barrier plan time even. ] I believe it seemed to be like Ango's. And as time goes on, being discreet about...certain matters will be difficult.

There was a lot he was holding back this entire time. [ Despite barely getting started in the book, he seems absolutely certain of this. ]

Sure. You sound like you might have a plan in mind.

[sageking]

[ Well. He supposed he will see if it'll truly help them in the end...though, he could definitely sense the amount of power from the book. So, it had to be. Something. ]

...I may, yes. At least this one wouldn't exactly be able to be interrupted by foolishness of some kind even if it means it won't work out.

Just let me know when you need my help. While I'm glad Sakaguchi made a plan, I'd rather pursue other possibilities that let us escape.
