[Yeah, that gruffness doesn't last very long.]

I know he does. I'm... glad to have him around.

[The honest truth: Kim likes these clowns.]

[sponsoredby]

I am, too.

[ If it wasn't more than obvious. ]

But. I'm glad to have you around, too.

[ And once the wounds are cleaned up of dirt, he's going to use whatever they have to properly clean the wound, if they have alcohol or what have you for it. Sorry if it stings, buddy. ]

[voltadomar]

[If it hurts, he refrains from showing it.]

If nothing else... it's been interesting. Not all in a bad way.

[ Once he feels things have been properly cleaned, he shifts to start bandaging him back up to protect his wounds. ]

There's been a lot of good among all the misery. We should never forget that part, either.

[voltadomar]

I certainly won't.

[...]

I wonder if we may be nearing the end of all this. We may be able to make our counterattack soon. The bomb...

[sponsoredby]

[ The bomb... indeed. He's been having a hard time keeping up with everything everyone's been talking about. There's been... so much. ]

When do you think...?

[voltadomar]

We found a blueprint for a Dust bomb. And a device... a "guidance system" for such a bomb.

The dead said they have a bomb. This may be the last piece they need.

[sponsoredby]

Oh... Do you know what this bomb does? Or anyone that does know...?

[voltadomar]

Destroys angels... supposedly.

They want to target Metatron and Xaphania with it. To end this.

[sponsoredby]

...I hope so. I really hope this works, then.

[voltadomar]

Yes. If we try and fail, then we will likely invite the full wrath of the angels.

[Said calmly, matter-of-factly.]

[sponsoredby]

Then we can't afford to fail.

[ Let's hope for the best... ]

Do you think it'll work?

[voltadomar]

I don't know. I can't predict the future.

[sponsoredby]

...

Fair answer.

[ He sounds a bit sheepish at that. ]

[voltadomar]

[...]

We have no choice but to do something drastic. The alternative is to remain in this cycle... for this to continue until all of one "side" is eliminated.

[sponsoredby]

[ He sighs, but nods in agreement. ]

We have to break this cycle. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish that. I still stand by the fact that I am determined to fix all this and bring everyone back.

[voltadomar]

Spoken like a true hero.

[An almost teasing tone in his voice, despite it still being mostly deadpan.]

That said... I'm with you on this.

[sponsoredby]

[ A hint of a grin twitches at the corner of his mouth. ]

I think it's the best way we can face it. Head on and with our heads held high. They're trying to break us with everything they're doing... and we can't let them.

[voltadomar]

It suits you. The headstrong approach.

Not my style at all... But it may be the right thing for these circumstances.

[sponsoredby]

I'm sure we'll need a lot of different angles for this to work. Whatever the final plan ends up being.

Use all of our strengths to work together.

[voltadomar]

[... He nods.]

Another thing...

I'm not positive, but I may have caught a glimpse of where we're going to go next.

[sponsoredby]

[ His shoulders tense a little. ]

... Did you? What was it like?

[voltadomar]

A vast, lush forest. An enormous tree towering over all the others. It was displayed on a monitor. Described as "the next place."

I saw a lot of other worlds, too. Most of them, ones we've been to before.

[sponsoredby]

Huh, I thought-

[ He cuts himself off, shaking his head. ]

Maybe that is where we'll go next, then.

[voltadomar]

You were expecting something else?
