However, I want you to keep in mind that this also means only the best have gathered here.Gebura(Id: 'gebura')Meeting over. We’ll talk more when the situation has been sorted out.SYSTEM: Display CG: 'BlackCG'SYSTEM:wait ( time: '2' )SYSTEM: Hide CGSYSTEM:add_filter ( filter: 'blood' )???(Id: 'no')(Ksssht)Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Miss Gebura, I think your mainframe has sustained too much damage.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Maybe we should suspend the suppression operation for now?Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')Tiphereth is investigating the cause of this situation right now, so we should be able to figure it out pretty soon.Gebura(Id: 'gebura')I don’t need a break… I can still fight.Tiphereth(Id: 'tiphereth_b')But in your condition…Gebura(Id: 'gebura')Shut up!

You..Binah(Id: 'binah')Oh, poor little thing, look at yourself.Binah(Id: 'binah')There was a time when I had a pinch of admiration for that fire in your eyes…Binah(Id: 'binah')But now even that is smothered with ire and madness.Binah(Id: 'binah')It is such a shame that the both of us are locked up in this dungeon.SYSTEM: Play BGM: '1 - Cryptic'Binah(Id: 'binah')However, I did not bend over or break my back at the very least.Binah(Id: 'binah')I imagine we will no longer have to face off with our lives at stake and be at each other’s throats like the past, but…Binah(Id: 'binah')I will say this for you, pitiful thing.Binah(Id: 'binah')Stare directly into the object of your anger.Binah(Id: 'binah')The edge of a blade that has lost its way will be unfathomably blunt, for there will be nothing but the void to slash, no matter how much the blade is sharpened.Binah(Id: 'binah')I hope you don’t think I get some kind of satisfaction out of this, seeing my once earnest rival now looking as pathetic as a dog.
