TEST 8.

[azumods]

FLOW. The feeling of pressure in here is immense. It's stronger than it was with Darkrai, something you can feel down to your core, something that you couldn't shake off even if you tried; there's nothing to do but power through it. Saturn, for his part, either isn't feeling it at all or is incapable of reacting in any sort of appropriate way even if he could; he simply continues to regard you from across the room, his words hanging heavy in the room. It's a far cry from his behavior during the first month you were here; he was civil then, willing to do you favors in exchange for the chance to talk to you. It's plain that he will be doing no such thing today; it may be difficult to know where to start, really. Especially when your Pokémon don't seem to be doing well - whatever's happening here, they seem reluctant, even unwilling, to fight anything in this room. Perhaps it's not surprising; the energy in the room is likely familiar to them, and it's the sort associated with someone deciding to take their spirit away last time it was angered. Whatever the reason, you're on your own for now; whatever happens is your choice, and yours alone.

[He sighs.]

It's suicide, you know.

[But he's also not going anywhere.]

[discutio]

I do not ask any of you to stay with me. But this is the path I choose—for myself, this time.

[semistableman]

I think you're a much better person than I am.

[He's so tired.

But, Ignis will notice, he hasn't moved, shifted stances a little, more defensive, but he hasn't tried to bolt.]

[discutio]

Believe me, I’m not. If we live through this, I’ll tell you.

...Thank you For staying.

[semistableman]

[He can't bring himself to comment on the first half, but]

Don't mention it.
