[ With the regression of the city, working at Sunset Theater has quickly become less enjoyable than it used to be. Though the cast remembers the rapport McGillis had built with them, even if they're more standoffish now. And it's not as though McGillis had placed much stock in his interpersonal relationships to the random citizens, but... the shift in atmosphere serves as a tangible reminder. That this is temporary. That this world is susceptible to insane levels of mind manipulation. That he wants to leave.

Leave and... do what? That's the question that has haunted McGillis for weeks now, and the countdown is mercilessly continuing. Soon Braphine will release them from her hold, one way or another. Soon, he'll have to know. And so will everyone else. ]

Just a little over two weeks until we're free from this, if Braphine really keeps her word and the God of Conflict doesn't swallow up all her power. Until then we'll doubtlessly face a number of additional challenges and hassles, but while we're still in the quiet before the storm...

Are you going home to your own worlds after this? Or will you take Braphine up on her offer and come along with one of your 'bonds'? What is your world like? What is making you return? What is making you abandon it?

And if you're like me and cannot return to where you came from no matter what, maybe the answers can give you some perspective.

It ain't just that we gotta hold back in palaces, but bein' here all of my parameters are basically back to what they were when I was alive. I'll be stronger and faster when we're back in Chaldea.

[ This is why he called you cute at the polycule meeting...

But also he's genuinely interested in the power metrics here, so he won't even comment on it with anything other than a smile. ]

How strong is that, exactly?

[goei]

[Considering this.]

Well I ain't that strong fer a heroic spirit, but I could still pick you up easy. Far as speeds concerned I can do a proper flash step.

[McGillis learns his boyfriend can teleport.]

[ He's not asking about flash step now. This is both because he feels like it'll be more impressive to just make Izou show him once he's able, and because he has something much more important to say instead: ]

Should I look forward to a romantic bridal carry then?

[ It's a joke because it'd look ridiculous but it's also not a joke because it would be genuinely funny. ]
