I don't need to show you my neck. [which should be enough of an answer to that.]

[aubins]

[ pff. ]

So you do know what I'm talking about then.

[probe]

You are absolutely infuriating.

[aubins]

[ he just seems pissed now.. ]

Fine, I'll stop trying to be delicate.

While you were all asleep that creature fed on your for a whole hour, like it was draining something from you. None of you woke up, you were all asleep, but your eyes were wide open and you were all glowing. When it was done, it detached itself from your neck and vanished back to wherever it came from.

That happens often around here?

[probe]

[be pissed all you want???? don't just ask to see someone's neck without explaining why first!!]

Yes. Every Friday. Haven't you ever noticed Wrath or Lust being drained the morning after...?

[aubins]

[ the walls have ears ]

I have. I wasn't sure if because this was happening when you were asleep you weren't aware of it. And Satoru's made it clear there are things it's dangerous to talk about here.

...

Is all that linked to why we're indulging?

[probe]

We're incredibly aware, Leclerc. How do you think we know who's died and who the culprit is? My Fridays are spent transcribing what we learn to take into the trials on Saturdays.

[now they just sound exhausted.] You're indulging to earn the power you came here to seek.

[aubins]

...

[ he frowns for a moment, before a thought occurs: ] It's... less them feeding from you, and more an information share? Is that what it is?

[ what the-- ]

So that part hasn't changed. There's just more nuances to it than we assumed when we accepted.

[probe]

Irrelevant. You got the answer that you need.

[aubins]

Helpful.

[ tch. ]

Well if that's all, I'll see myself out.

[probe]

[a nod.]

Good luck, Leclerc.

[aubins]

[ hmmm. ]


Thanks.
