The creatures from the well.

I don’t think they’re merely dolls or monsters. I think something is wrong with the well. When I used my purification on them, I was able to extract a feeling. They were once human. It’s as if everything that made up who “they” were was ripped out of them, but this town has shown me what mindless dolls feel like before.

This is different.

I know they’re dangerous, but I’m afraid to kill any more of them. Please be careful.

[ so panicked is this message that dextera forgets to include his name, but really, by this point in time, most people should know his hex code anyway. ]

[ this man didn’t seem quite so cold over text, so dextera can’t help but wonder if he did something wrong to be received this way. ]

Right… sorry.

[ he glances around, clearly nervous. ]

Should I put it somewhere?

[wooden_one]

[He's just Like That.]

You can just hold it.

[And then, in a flash of gold light, there's what looks like a willow branch in his hand. Except it's a whip.]

[passio]

[ dextera automatically flinches away from the light, but he doesn’t seem afraid of the whip. he’s looking at it curiously, in fact, as he reveals the crystal for whatever method needs to be used. ]

What is…?

[wooden_one]

This TianWen. It's a Holy Weapon and its ability is Judge. It can compel being to tell the truth. If used on a soul, it allows me to communicate with it.

[Naturally, the soul couldn't lie.]

[passio]

I… I see.

[ dextera doesn’t think he likes that, but luckily, it isn’t being used on him. ]

There’s nothing that I could get out of this that I haven’t mentioned. It’s so empty.
