...yeah. I just had a few questions but I don't know if it's even related to some of the stuff you've told me. It can wait until later, too. Have you checked on Malik?
Please do. They won't admit that they need it, but they do. Malik especially.
[unfortunately, lucretia will also get a mental image of taichi bodyslamming malik into a wall. "We don't even know if Maya's alive, Claude and Lucretia are blind, aged and bleeding and Yamato--How could you just make that choice so easily!?"
...malik needs healing because taichi did not help, clearly.]
I'm still trying to figure that out. [he would normally be more freaked out, but like. he's been getting isekai'd since he was eleven? he doesn't realize he's cursed and should find this even stranger, but everything that happened was...]
We went to Wonderland? Do you know anything about liches that run a place like that?
[he's only heard of liches from lucretia before, so it's a stretch but he has to ask.]
The head with the red hat. Cam? Rita was carrying him with us for a while before we got out of there. We followed the signs to Wonderland to go after stuff we wanted.
...that's okay. [he seems to understand and lets it go.] ...that makes sense. It's a place to absorb suffering, so it would be based on whatever would make it worse. Which...sort of explains a lot of what we saw anyway.

I've... I've been there before, Taichi. There was something in that place that I needed to obtain, but... I was forced to abandon my attempt.

...what is it? That means it's really a real thing? The talking head was there but I thought it was, like, a hallucination or something half the time.

[she looks uncomfortable, thinking back on it, glancing aside.]
It's different for everyone who enters, to some extent, they sort of-- personalize it to a degree. I don't know if any of it would be the same.
