"...Miss Anaheim. Do you know anything about the Balance of Mana?"

Lydia quietly stared down at the shifting sands.

"It's the idea that the world works on a very delicate balance, where if one bit of the puzzle disappears, everything falls apart. In our case, it was the destruction of the original City of God that started it. The killing of so many people created a great imbalance in the mana of the world, which launched a chain reaction, opening portals linked to a world with too many lifeforms, to fill up our lack of them."

Is it
wickedness?

Or is it
weakness?

"It makes sense, hypothetically. Yet then the imbalance was inevitable. The people he killed, I killed, they would have killed just as many, if not more. There would always be a catastrophie." And my name is Elle, she wanted to add. But she knew what would happen if she corrected another Satou's pronounciation of her name. She looked at the cigarette disapprovingly, lazily waving the smoke away.

"Mmh... I disagree. An imbalance in mana only occurs when large numbers of people die in an instant."

She noticed Elle's disapproval of the cigarette.

She snuffed the cigarette out.

"And, my brother's destruction of the City of God was the catalyst."

"Ah, yes." Visions of a City split in three, destruction on all sides filled her mind. Smoke and fire and whiskey and villains running rampant. "Yet you seem intent on villainizing Abyss. Sometimes, destruction is the only path to move forward from tyranny." Elle sighed. "What would you have had us do instead?"

"Mmh. Sorry for antagonizing the person who abandoned me when I was 10 and forced me onto a 16-year old sociopath."

Truth's retort was dry and honest.

"He did the best that he could, and I'll give him that. But the murder of so many was overkill, don'tcha think?"

weakness?

"I'm not in a position to judge as a fellow murderer. To be accurate, I put the final nail in the coffin, let loose the final gunshot in the war. I have no knowledge of your relationship, but if it was anything like ours, he wasn't very good at it." Elle ran a hand through her blue hair, a nervous habit she'd adopted when thinking about the murderous rages she knew she was capable of.

"There are only two people in this god-forsaken earth I have ever trusted. You are one of them. If it makes you feel better, I had so much fun in our time together." Elle had once thought that Abyss had meant Violet. The second person he had trusted. But Vi was his friend. El had been his confidante.

"...Who was he to you? My brother. Who was he, exactly?"

Lydia stared at her feet.

"I want to know why you were so important to him. What made you so important that he left me for you."

wickedness?

"He was my best friend. A consummate prankster. The only person who decided to do something about the corruption that surrounded us. I loved him like a brother by- by the end." She paused as broken murderers do.

"I only met him three years before the fall. I was a scrappy sixteen year old with more power in my pinky than I realized doing nickel and dime heists. He caught me, and instead of turning me over to the authorities, told me my talents were wasted. We went on to operate in different sectors, but our collaborations were legendary. And then he sent me a tape. That was where it really started..." She trailed off.

"I'm sorry. Did I even answer your question?" It was the first time she had spoken about The Incident in five years.

"...I see."

Truth bowed her head slightly. She stayed like that for a few moments, before getting to her feet, stretching.

"...Well, are you coming? I really need your answer in tbe next 5 minutes."

Truth yawned, before lazily drawing a circle in the air.

A door appeared along the path of her finger through the air.

"I'm in no position to refuse. Lead the way, princess." Elle rose, slinging her stachel over her shoulder. She didn't elaborate on what she meant. Her face was impassive as she gracefully slid off the boulder. With a final brush of her brilliant blue hair, she tugged the brown hood of the cloak back over herself, shrouding her identity once more.

She opened the door.

It led to the same snow-covered graveyard.

Truth stepped through the door, into the chill of the City of God.

"Careful, Miss. It's cold."

Truth glanced at the blank gravestone for a moment, then at the rose, dusted with snow, resting on the ground.

"...Don't step on the flower."

weakness?

She could feel it in her bones, the familiar electron particles tingling against her powers.. At long last, she was back. After five years of running away, each day growing further and further from the land of her sins, her progress had been recent in an instant.

She took a deep breath. The air in the City of God was cleaner than Elle remembered. She could feel guilt in the pit of her stomach, nausea prickling at her insides. But there was also a tremor of excitement. She had done great things here. Terrible things, but great things nonetheless.

Drawn to the headstone, she approached as if in a trance. She crouched down in front of the grave, delicately trailing a single finger along the blood red petals of the flower. A gust of wind swirled the snow that had settled on the ground, scattering flurries into the air.

"Is this...?" She asked a question that didn't need to be asked.

It was never meant to be.

"Yeah."

Truth galnced down at the grave.

"Pathetic. He didn't even get a marked grave."

He turned away from it after a moment, gesturing for Elle to follow her.

She was frozen in time, her mind's eye seeing the shadows consume Kendo Satou's body again and again. Finally, Truth's voice cut through the fog, pulling her back to reality. She stood, the blank slab of stone mocking her. She reached out to it, feeling a hint of cobalt in the shale. Using her powers she began to carve.

Kendo Satou
---
Genius, Revolutionary, Brother, Friend.
Although his mind was ever sky-bound, the shadow of his body lies here.

It was something she had read in a book somewhere, yet it felt strangely fitting.

Elle wordlessly followed Truth, fighting back emotions as she reentered the City of God.

It was never meant to be.

Truth looked around, before sighing.

"Wait, I didn't mean to come here. This isn't where Logic told me to come."

Truth drew another door in the air, opening it up.

Perched on a ledge, high up above the city of Prosperity, Logic was perched upon a ledge, fiddling with a drone.

Truth took a step out onto the ledge.

"Logic."

He glanced up from his controller, at Truth.

His azure hair was swaying with the wind.

"Oh, Truth! And... you must be Elucian Anaheim! Or... Elle K. Compass, now, was it?"

Is it
wickedness?

Or is it
weakness?

"...call me whatever. I doubt you will heed my wishes." Logic and Truth. What curious aliases. But she knew of this newcomer; Abyss had spoken of him briefly. Kendo didn't always enjoy talking about his time before the City of God, and since Elle had never liked talking about her time before she met him, she never pressed him.

Yet they had disappeared from the City of God. They were in another great city, Elle could tell from the strong magnetic interference, but she had no idea... where. So why had Lydia taken her to that graveyard? To gauge her reaction? To pay her respects? To get a free engraving?

"So, Logic. It has been awhile since I heard tell of you. How may I be of service?" Her words skittered across the thin blade of sarcastic and serious, her jumbled emotions buried deeper.

It was never meant to be.

"Oh, trust me, sweetheart. You've been of plenty of service for me already."

Logic laughed quietly.

"Removing my most bitter rival... I really must thank you."

Truth was quiet, glaring at logic.

"Well, you must have heard the schpeal from Truth already. I'm creating a... team, of sorts, to save the world from destruction."

"Then you should examine my track record, Logic. The last so-called 'team' I was a part of is what supposedly caused this current mess." Elle's eyes hardened dangerously, a muscle in her jaw clenched.

That word. Service. Coming from his mouth, it sounded twisted. Familiar.

"You sent me that note." There was no question. "Why, that's extremely curious."

It was never meant to be.

"Mmh. What note? Why, I don't know what you mean, my dear."

He grinned.

"Truth, be a dear and pick up these people for me, will you?"

He quickly texted her a list of names and locations.

"Come, sit down next to me, Elle K. Compass. We have much to talk about, no?"

After about three seconds of hesitation, Elle sat down next to Logic. "If you say so." Still smarting from the remark about Kendo and the blatant sidestep to elaborating about the note, she didn't give him any leeway.
