Where...? Oh, right. The clinic. ...Damn. Did it hurt this much before? These wings...really sensitive.

...I'm really out of it, huh? But...but thanks. Lloyd, and Kratos...hope you didn't wear yourself out o-on my account. ...A-And Lavi...and Daisya. ...For talking. Think I owe you a lot.

'S easier to breathe, too. D-Did someone...?

Yes, correct. My name is Albert.

As a punishment? ...That's disconcerting. It's a paralyzing agony.

I would like to know what happened, if you are willing to talk.

[corrinesbell]

No kidding. ...But, th-they were stupid.

...It's...n-not something I wanna talk about...this way. When...when I can, though, I-I'll come tell you.

[chikaidestroyer]

Stupid?

I understand. I'd like to know how you could have angered them, whenever you are ready. It might help alleviate a question I've had on my mind.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. M-Made a mistake.

I...uh, what's the question? If I can ask.

About a month ago, I was abducted and had my wings broken. Prior to that, I had warned Caesar about speaking so openly about his plans to establish some semblance of government here. I'd like to know if there was some correlation between those two events.

Ultimately, I would like to know if the Malnosso can find a way into anything, including private journal conversations like this.

...Mmh.
They did this...for what I-I did while I was...th-there. But...'ve been wondering if they...they didn't t-take me again because...of what I said.

[chikaidestroyer]

You said something that was that inflammatory? What was it? What did you do?

[screened]

[corrinesbell]

...Hard to remember...exactly what I said. Some kid...talked about...mm...b-being forced to believe...

[she's clearly trying hard to stay lucid in this conversation, because this is important]

And...I was...what if...it were true?

I...I'll t-tell you what...I did...mmh...safer.

[chikaidestroyer]

Believe...?

...I know this is wearing on you. I apologize for asking you to exert yourself when you're still recovering.

Thank you for telling me what little you could. When you feel better and can clarify, I hope you will speak with me.

It's o-okay. Shouldn't...be this bad...i-in the first place.

I-I will.
