Takt op. Destiny, Symphony #5: Star Rail

Symphony #5: Death

"Uh... I'm from a Planet named Symphonica, it's in the Galaxy named...  the Harmonia Galaxy" Takt gambled the possibility such places existed.. which caused the Express Crew to look confused, but Welt looked rather suspicious

"That Planet and Galaxy is not in any of the Express' maps or Archives" Himeko said, as Takt's face remained calm, but he knew it was over for him, the entire Express Crew seemed suspicious of him now

"Let me ask you again, Takt, where are you from?" Welt's tone was more serious, now, as Takt took a deep breath

"...Earth" Takt said, causing Welt to raise his eyebrow, while the others were curious why Welt reacted in such a way

"...I see, out of curiosity, may I know what year it is on your Planet?" Welt asked, a bit interested by Takt's answer

"2047" Takt answered directly, not wanting to give away any unnecessary information, as long as a specific question wasn't asked, he would be okay

Takt's response left Welt to only nod, and look at Himeko, confirming that his response was honest, and that he could be trusted, at least for now.

"Oooh, what's it like on your Planet?" March asked the question Takt wanted to avoid

Takt was left at a corner, he didn't know if now was the right time to tell them who he was and where he came from, they already caught him lying once, if he stayed quiet trying to think of a fake story, he might seem suspicious and the Express might not trust him. But Himeko decided to speak up, concerned by Takt's slightly troubled expression

"It's alright, Takt, you don't have to tell us if you're not comfortable to. Knowing where you're from is enough for now" Himeko reassured Takt, trusting Welt's judgement to be correct that Takt can be trusted

Takt nodded, feeling more at ease knowing he doesn't have to explain his whole origin too early. He did however ask the Express a few questions of his own. During the discussion of the Express crew, they mentioned terms like Stellaron Hunters, Kafka, Blade, Silver Wolf, Sam, Dreampool, and the Watchmaker's Legacy.

After a quick rundown, Takt got his answers, he realized the weight of the situation he got himself into. That the monster is only a small factor in the big puzzle he was part of. Destiny knew as well that she had to fight a lot more, especially if they come across Sam. And now Takt was involved, he'll be setting his eyes into finishing this.. for his own personal reasons. Since the Express has already filled him in on everything they know, might as well join them in trying to fix this whole problem.

"Question, how do we insert the line of code that this Silver Wolf person gave us.. into a Bath Tub?" Takt asked, wondering what Silver Wolf meant by putting the 'Line of Code' into their Dreampool

"Leave me to configure that for you" Welt said, telling Takt he'll handle it for him

With everything discussed and 2 extra pairs of hands with them to help, the Express Crew agreed to help Black Swan, and they went back to her to let her know, they also need a proper guide to navigate the Memory Zone. While Welt decided to stay in reality to ensure everyone's safety.

"It seems I'll have a hard time gaining your trust, even if I personally did rescue your friends... It's no problem, of course, other than the fact that my feelings are a little hurt" Black Swan said, as she realized it's going to be difficult to gain the trust of the Express

"Don't flatter yourself because you saved us, betrayal never comes from an enemy, after all" Takt said, as he himself didn't trust Black Swan

"We're counting on you, Welt. As for us... let's get ready to see the Dreamscape's true visage" Himeko said, the five went back to their respective rooms
