It’s Dextera.

I hope everyone has recovered from the town’s most recent mystery. I had intended to make this post earlier, but I think all of us were distracted. It’s confusing, and I’m sorry if it’s hard to read as well.

My brother - Sinistra, #610B0B - and I went into the forest to try to recover the rest of the items I’d found with Guren. We were able to get the pocketwatch, but it’s broken. If anyone knows how to fix it, I would appreciate your instructions.

It does something as it is, though. It’s strange. When I hold it, it feels like nothing exists. It feels like none of us exist. It’s scary. I don’t know how else to describe it. The town feels like an illusion, and all of us even less than that. Those of you that have just arrived still feel “real,” but the people I’ve known for a long time are barely here. I'm barely here.

There are some other people who don’t feel as if they exist at all. We haven’t figured out that criteria yet. I don’t know why or how it’s like this. I’m sorry. I don’t know if the watch works for anyone but my brother and I, but I don’t want anyone else to touch it. I don’t think it’s a good idea. I’m sorry, again, but my brother or I will answer any questions you have.

Death is hardly permanent here. There is no reason to worry.

Who cares if it is not permanent? [ Two thumbs and named Sinistra. Maybe, Dextera, too! ]

Death can still hurt. It can still wound. It can still upset the hearts of those around you. Do you think that just because it is not permanent that people do not mourn?

Do not dismiss your life so easily, Sinistra. You are worth more than that.

[ I would cry so much during my RPGs when my healers would die in a fight! Sure, they could come back as soon as it was over, but until the end of the battle I was fuck out of luck!! Don't say that it isn't anything to worry about because it's something to worry about, ya fucking dingus!! ]

But if not us, then who?

These items have been important so far.

[ Worth more than him, probably. Shizun's only just met him, hasn't he? How can he truly even know his worth, anyway?

Still, he agreed to teach him something powerful, so he can't protest too much or he'll lose that chance. ]

[ Shen Qingqiu wants to take out a megaphone. "But if not us, then who?"

NO ONE, YOU STUPID ASSHOLE! ]

[ But as mad as he is, he takes back his thoughts screaming an insult at the two of them. He breathes out a long sigh.

Important items, huh? This one sounds cursed but it could also be the start of some mission to save them. But it could also be a red herring that'll end up in a lot of pain! Either way, I don't like the way it makes a person feel when they touch it and there's no reason for such dangerous things to be handled by those that've already suffered!!

Sinistra! Didn't you say that you wanted your brother to think for himself and not just do things for other people?! Why don't you put those words to yourself, too!!

But like hell, I'm gonna throw that back in your face especially on a forum. That's not fair. It isn't. So I'm just going to keep saying what I've been saying. We both can just keep repeating ourselves until we're dead. HA HA HA! ]

Simply because you found it does not mean that you two should be the ones to suffer for it.

As important as they are, don't put yourselves at unnecessary risk. Your teacher can't teach you anything if you're gone.

[ They understood the risk going in, but... Shizun is saying these things out of worry, right? It will be hard to get him to understand with that in the way.

Reluctantly, he agrees. ]

We will handle it with care, Shizun.

[shizun]

[ This really is the best I can hope for, isn't it!! ]

Very well. If anything happens, you call for help. Understand?

[bisection]

If it means that much, I will.

[shizun]

[ IT MEANS SO MUCH!! ]

This teacher honestly thanks you.

Sure thing.
