>Lil Reirei: "Sorry, just I don't recall much else. I mean, you have the ability to make trouble, and you haven't. So I do appreciate it."
>Quesyuyu Mountains: Frown
>"Must you feel that way? I'm sure it's nothing to be ashamed of. Why, if this building is any indication, I'm sure it would be quite impressive.

>How so? It can talk to us whenever it wants, anyways.
>Also, talking to it would quite possibly catch it off-guard; it wouldn't be expecting that.
>Face it: trying to ignore the voice doesn't work. The only other options this voice can think of are the one we're currently discussing and finding a way to block it out of our mind, and we don't have a way to do that one. If we can find one, that's great, but in the meantime, shouldn't we be looking into the other option?
>Didn't work? We've been doing our best not to indulge it, and not only have we not slipped any further we've actually succeeded in making a small, if terribly forced, step back into the right direction. Thus far, it's been the only thing that has worked. Recall we spent a good week trying to resist it other ways, and failed miserably. As well, it's kinda noteworthy that Shiki isn't defined solely by her ability to give lectures. As such, given we barely understand how we've been attacked, we have no real clue how it worked, and we've found one defense mechanism oppose it at all, it seems that
charging back into the opponent's grasp is a terrible idea.
