"K-kupo!?" The moogle behind Kaji pipes up in a tone of surprise, but claps his hands over his mouth.

"They had defeated all challenges in their way, but it almost all feels like..." He looks back to the stage, his gaze fades into the distance, thoughtful. "Like a play. Like things had to play out a certain way. And they were just being manipulated. Like no matter how hard they fought, it was all just a setup for the final act."
He turns back to look at Charlotte. "Back in my world, my job was to look for the truth. Of what they were fighting for, if the fate of the world even was at stake at all." He gestures to the notes. "I assume you have the same goal in mind here?"
