I saw you mention that a Rhode Camelot can control people.

Could you perhaps broaden that explanation?

[ Filter: Mitsuru ]
It's strange, but feel like I haven't seen you in ages.

How are you, Mitsuru?

I did. I was directing those comments to the authorities, however.. Have we been introduced? It looks like you already gathered this part, but my name is Allen Walker.

Ah, no, we haven't. I'm Allelujah Haptism.

And I'm sorry for how abrupt that was. It's just... I have some interest in what you meant. I'll try to understand if you'd rather not divulge that information.

Why do you want to know about Rhode? I don't know what you want with her, but she is someone you'd be better off avoiding.

[ Filter: Allen Walker]

[yourinsidevoice.livejournal.com]

It may or may not be relevant, but... you said she could control people. Could you describe her methods at all?

[ Filter: Allelujah Haptism]

[crownedge]

I don't know what you're planning, but you're not using Rhode for anything. I won't let you and she wouldn't stand for it either. Please explain what this is about.

I've given you the wrong idea, clearly.

[ Filter: Allen Walker]

[yourinsidevoice.livejournal.com]

I'll be blunt with you then. I don't want to use her.

I want to know if she used me.

[ Filter: Allelujah Haptism]

[crownedge]

Oh.

[ Filter: Allelujah Haptism]

[crownedge]

She's only done it to my friends, so firsthand I can't explain it. She gets inside your mind and trap you somehow. She tries to destroy your heart from the inside. In my experience, she set my friends against me.

Destroys your heart?





... has that friend been brought here too?

[ Filter: Allelujah Haptism]

[crownedge]

Breaking your spirit somehow. She's evil. I'm sorry, she's my responsibility. I knew she had something to do with these attacks. I knew she would hurt people again, but I couldn't do anything. I'm so sorry. My apologies don't mean anything after you've suffered whatever she's done to you, but I'm so sorry. I'll make this right.

He's here, his name's Ravi. I'm not sure I want him to think about that time. I can't stop you or him from discussing it, but it obviously isn't something I like to remember.

Like being crushed in a cage...

[ Filter: Allelujah Haptism]

[crownedge]

Yes, she traps you. I'm sorry, this is my fault.

[ Filter: Allen Walker ]

[yourinsidevoice.livejournal.com]

... please don't apologize. This helped. Please don't apologize, Allen. I just... thank you. And your friend. I won't ask him to remember that.

Akihiko is almost well enough to leave the hospital, but they have informed us that this means he will be taken to jail until next Monday. Needless to say, I'm displeased at their progress.

It has been a while, however. I am frustrated with the process by which they run things here. Even if those numerous people released have not been charged with anything, they still insist on bringing Akihiko in. If this were my world, some level of change would have already occurred. But it seems that this government is highly ineffective.

How are you, Allelujah? I've heard news on your friends. It must be somewhat distressing.

[ Filter: Allelujah Haptism]

I know I have no right to say any of this, but. For what it's worth, it was never a question of forgiving Ravi. What he did wasn't him, it was her. He was just as hurt as we were, if not more. In the end, I was so happy to have him I didn't care what he'd done.

Ravi has a good friend in you.

[ Filter: Allelujah Haptism]

[crownedge]

Your friends will feel the same way. I think you just need to talk to them. I'll handle Rhode.

[ Filter: Allen Walker ]

[yourinsidevoice.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

[ Filter: Allen Walker ]

[yourinsidevoice.livejournal.com]

Wait.



Please don't engage her.

I'm glad his injuries are healing well, but incarcerating him so soon after his discharge? Incarcerating him at all even.

I'm sorry for how things are happening for you. And Akihiko. It's my sad experience that most governments are inept. All I see is change needs to happen here, just like everywhere. That you have a different opinion of them is lucky, Mitsuru.

And I'm fine, I wasn't injured. My friends are... they'll be alright. They're resilient.

I've fought her before. I appreciate your concern, but this is my responsibility.

[ Filter: Allen Walker ]

[yourinsidevoice.livejournal.com]

I disagree. This time it was my comrades she wronged.

[ Filter: Allelujah Haptism]

[crownedge]

I guess.. you do have a point. It's dangerous, however.

[ Filter: Allen Walker ]

[yourinsidevoice.livejournal.com]

I realize. Proper caution will be taken.
