[Failure definitely isn't an option, which means they need to buckle down and focus on what needs to be done. And so:]

We must find a way to not necessarily force this game into a premature end, but rather to keep it from persisting in the way that it is. A death or more a week is simply unacceptable, and like this we are dancing on their strings.

But if we can find a way to derail this entire situation, what will happen? I am very curious to know.

[He thinks the whole thing will come crashing down.]

Obviously, we cannot simply attack the two Crafters. That does not work, and is too expected. I wonder if the more harmless objectives are completed, if we could find a different end. What I know for certain is the objectives involving death and killing must not be done.

Currently, I believe everything has to do with the ink. That is loathsome, but it is more than we had to go off of before. It is a weighing of the scales, in a way.

So one side beating the other would naturally end this, but that is not the ending I seek. Rather, I feel as though picking one over the other is a cowardly way out.

[A sigh.]

We still need more information, in the end, though I believe I may now start to ask others in earnest about their situations.

[No point in holding back anymore.]
