[Cain would probably like Kotetsu a lot.]

Gotta be real careful when it comes to stuff like sweets. One wrong move and it crumbles.

[Heh.

Oh wait.]

I heard Nine say somethin' about a letter?

[ That's cute. ]

You're telling me.

[ And then he's patting himself down. Shoot. ]

I left it in my other clothes, so I can't show it to you here. I can go get it, if you want.

Are you sure you wanna walk back right now?

You're not plannin' on staying out here tonight, right? [Just a little bit fussy.]

I don't mind. Otherwise I can show you later and tell you basically what it said right now.

No, no. I have someone keeping an eye on me for the night to make sure I'm really okay after all that.

I'm alright hearin' your rough approximation of the thing.

Good. You looked the worst off.

[Is it Sholmes? He won't pry, but he'll think about asking.]

[ He nods. ]

It talked about some windows being opened between worlds by greedy hands. That they were left open... so the spectres had come and punished them for that hubris by taking everything from them.

[ It's not paraphrased as eloquently as the original, but that's the message it was giving.

He'll have to ask and find out who it is! ]

Ya know... this sound terrible.

You mean the windows were left open?

And... Who's "Them"?

It didn't have a name on it. The writing was pretty fancy, though.

[ He scratches his cheek a bit. ]

Guess they thought they didn't have to close them?

I'd like to see it some time.

[This is truly so much.]

So they just let the specters go wherever they wanted? Guess when you're greedy you ain't thinkin' bout the consequences of your actions.

Maybe they had no idea about that? But yeah, I can make sure to show you.

Why would you even wanna open into other worlds in the first place?

[extremely funny to ask when he's from an isekai canon.]

Thanks, Kotetsu. Let me know what your favorite food is and I'll make it for ya. When we have the ingredients, that is.
