[So Jay may have pulled you discreetly aside some time over the last week or so and invited you to a particular location near the mountains, or you may have been dragged along by a friend. Either way, there's a small group of people forming in this forest clearing, Jay at the center, pacing back and forth as has become his tendency.

Let the Qri shittalking begin.]

[He looks thoughtful at that, glancing out at the trees.]

She believes in fate. Serving people is her purpose. "Any Mous without one has none." If Qri isn't what she claims to be--if she's someone to be opposed, rather than followed--then she was brought away from her world and original purpose, with no clear hope of returning, for no reason.

I'd understand it more if I did think she was lying. It's one thing to be so desperate to get home that you're willing to go to extremes, but if you really thought your purpose was on the line, wouldn't finding out the truth be more important than anything?

[But he's getting off track, so he shakes his head.]

Anyway, you were right. They're useful, but anything we can get from them right now is going to be pretty limited.

[rebells]

[He drums his fingers on the notebook in his hand. His expression is guarded.]

It can be frightening to think that you have no purpose. So frightening that instead of confronting the possibility, you choose to reject it entirely.

[alphonse]

I guess so, but ignoring the way things are doesn't help anyone. In the end it just makes everything worse.

[The look on Jay's face makes Al wonder what he's really thinking about, but now isn't a time to pry. He visibly relents a little, realizing how judgmental that all probably sounds.]

If Brie and Genette were really alone with nothing but Qri's story to believe in for a year, then I'm sure it must have been hard. I hope that we're able to help them too.
