Hmm. I don't think "died" is entirely accurate; some of them, perhaps. Some of them might've just gotten...lost to things out of their control. And who knows about the rest?

...Assuming there are others left, anyway.

[partymagician]

Lost to things? How would they be lost? Is it like being under a spell?

[instructus]

You could say that.

[ She pauses. ]

You know, Fai, I appreciate the concern you have for the other residents. But I think it'd be in your best interests, at this very moment, to focus on building your relationship with Hien and...let things run their course for now, hm?

[ Which is clearly not what's going to happen, given the meeting they're all going to have soon. ]

[partymagician]

We’ve done quite a bit of relationship building.

[ That’s all he’ll say about that! ]

It sounds to me like you’re changing the subject.

[instructus]

I am.

[ She'll own up to it, at least? ]

I don't like discussing what happened to the people of this city. It's very unfortunate.

[partymagician]

That makes me want to know more.

[ He lets out a soft sigh. ]

But I know to quit while I'm still ahead, and I don't think you're going to talk about it right now.

[instructus]

Correct.

[ Sorry, Fai... ]

[partymagician]

Well, have a good rest of your day! Here's to hoping no one comes by to bother you.

[ He sure has heard that trombone playing!

Fai hangs up before she can say anything back. Is he being passive aggressive? It's hard to say... ]
