⚔ // stress in solitude
[Once Saturn had left, Ignis took a slow breath to steady himself before standing and speaking again.]
I think we have a fair amount of things to discuss, after that. But we'll also need to rest and recover here; We may be able to take it at Saturn's word that he won't alert Cyrus to us, but overstaying our welcome by more than a couple of days is unwise--that means we need to take advantage of this as much as we can.
[Strategy was easier. The words came naturally, and he was able to hold focus.]
If anyone needs me or wishes to assist, I'll be in the kitchen. I'm aware we just ate, but I presume we'll all be more comfortable if one of our own makes breakfast in the morning.

[Rin brushes a long lock of hair behind her shoulder, glancing to the side uncomfortably.]
He's still responsible for his own actions in the end, and just as much of a fanatic in his own right, but his concept of right and wrong is shaped by his boss. Like with what happened to his own partners, he's probably had to adjust his thinking more than once along the way. That's the only way he can accept and make sense of it all.

That's a good sign.
[Kiryu's sure they'll have to defeat him twice or three times before Saturn agrees to step out of the way, though]

I still have every intention of leaving that to Cynthia, so it won't be a problem from me.
[If Saturn could turn his life around though, that really would be for the best. Rin doesn't comment on it, not one to hope for something like that. But if it happens, she would be happy for him.]
