[The fuck? Kel didn't know too much about possibly hidden magic in Faraway, but last time he checked there were no Ominous figures appearing only before disaster. What was it? That Poker Mon that appeared before big tragic events and got blamed for them? This made absolutely no sense, but Basil seemed so... certain of his words.

Possible spirits, hallucinations or delusions were not part of his bingo card when the conversation started.]

... Basil?

[Is he supposed to snap him out of this? Is he supposed to- no, this is a terrible idea. Kel isn't sure on what the correct step is, he will have to consult with Aubrey and maybe Maruki later, but for now he needs to make sure he gets all the possible info and help Basil process this entire mess. ]

This is all new to me, even if I come from further down the line. how do you think Something would make you two fight?

[No, not enough support. He must reassure the other, he must-]

But I get it now. If Sunny is in danger, if you are in danger- then we will stop Something. Together. you're not alone, okay? Not anymore. We'll make sure Something... stops. Somehow.

[Well done, Kel, let's entertain this madness. At least he looks convinced as he speaks, even reaching to try to hold Basil's hand.]

I am by your side, now and forever. Two people against this thing are better than one, right?
