1. [Slightly backdated]
[After the conclusion to what should have been a relatively simple job in Tokyo Willis has been in a somewhat somber mood ever since returning to Alhambra. While technically they were successful and prevented the situation from getting even worse than it could have been thanks to the efforts of everyone else there, the implications of everything that happened were still weighing on him. From reemergence of his formerly deceased fiancee's machine along with the woman herself, the fog that could assimilate machines and turn them into Chimaera, and the Aegis members who were now chasing after Licht. There was a lot that he was now worried about.]
How does this keep happening?
[At the very least given what the Olympios Facility was restored for he could be confident that with medical aid only a few blocks away from where the Chimaera attacked the collateral that was caused there would be minimized. Especially after his own freak-out upon seeing those Chimaera again.]
Every time I think I understand a situation things change...
2. [Recharging]
[Sometime later Willis has seemingly made it his mission to devour anything and everything served in Alhambra's cafeteria. While it wasn't exactly necessary for him to eat at all it did at the very least gave his nanomachines more to work with in helping to treat some of his injuries which seemed to be a bit slower to heal than usual.
For some reason however there's a small pile of discarded tomatoes and other random vegetables between the pile of dishes.]
3.
[Late into the night in a quieter section of Alhambra Willis can be found staring up at the starlit sky, trying to clear his mind. While it's hard to notice at first given the lack of light around him he seems to be holding up a familiar necklace, staring intensely at the pair of rings held on the chain.]
I shouldn't have to kill her twice...huh.

[Setsuko is here for a reason. But having heard that, her plans get derailed a bit.]
Please tell me, what's going on?
What is this all about?

[At the very least he seems a lot more calm compared to how he was acting during the mission.]
...when I went to the garden before the ceremonies started...I wasn't alone...my fiancee...she was there somehow, waiting for me like she used to. I looked right at her and before I could say a thing the attack started and she disappeared.
Those large Chimaera we encountered and that fog...., it was almost exactly the same as the ones when Licht's nanomachine systems went out of control.
I didn't want to put the two together, but when Licht showed up...let's just say I had to face reality.

There really aren't many ways left to interpret what happened.
But, even back there, she was still trying to protect you, wasn't she.

[Elys comes over with two bottles of drinks. The one she proceeds to hand over to Willis is one filled with iced lemon tea. The other is one filled with good old H20 for herself.
There is a momentary pause before she asks...]
...That was her, then?

Re: 1
[The tired pilot downs the drink quickly, considering they just got back from Tokyo in the middle of the summer it was appreciated.]
Yeah...I forgot that you two never met, but I guess you would have recognized Licht.
I think you two would have gotten along.

Besides, there are cool robots out there who just wish they could taste those veggies. Think of the robots!

[Or not based on alien technology harvested from a spooky meteor.]
You sure do know a lot for someone who's just arrived here though.

-Gwenhwyfar Jen二 Douglas, at your service. I might have just arrived, but I've got most of Jen's memories bouncing around in my skull.
From:
no subject
...that makes three of you then...well I guess it brings the number back up to two...
If you want to do something about this problem though I could feed you some of these, you sorta fall into the category of a robot who could want to taste some of these veggies. Not my leftovers of course, that would just be rude.
[And at that he offers a small bowl that contained a cherry tomato salad that was somehow in the mix between the many other dishes.]
Or you could just give me another lecture on how I'm abusing my technology I'm fine with either really, it's your choice though.

Kind of the opposite of me I guess...

Hey there.
Need to talk?
From:

And I'd love to, but for now I can't taste anything, so it'd be pretty disappointing. My tongue wasn't built for exactly that kind of functionality...Though maybe when I get the new one in I can take you up on that offer.
From:
no subject
That'd be nice, though I think I forgot to thank you and Zankuro for what you guys did back there. So...thanks.
From:

But, like this...
Just what or who is responsible for the Chimaera, exactly?
From:
no subject
Well...if you're serious about that I hope you should cash it in sooner rather than later, given how things have been going.
From:
no subject
I don't get it, aren't things going pretty well? Especially since the Balmarians are leaving us alone.

[He stares at the gynoid, wondering how he could put this.]
Let's just say that in my experience it's better not to leave any regrets even if things seem to be going well.
From:
no subject
C'mon, what's eating you? Talking about regrets like that, it's something personal, isn't it? I might be able to help, or at least make the problem more exciting.
