The three friends returned to the ship after their hard mission. Everyone stayed silent, unable to find what to say, but even if they wanted to, they didn't have the strength to. Neige walked away toward his room, quickly followed by Silva. Emely was about to follow her friend but was stopped in her tracks by the leader.

"They... Just need time."

Sepide looked at her two friends leaving. She considered going with them but decided to give them time. When she looked around, she noticed that the doctor wasn't there and turned toward the leader to ask,

"Where is Gwyn?"

"She's with Remiel, they're trying to get information from our new prisoner."

"I want to go see her, can I?"

The leader was a bit taken aback by Sepide's sudden demand but figured that if Gwyn and Remiel were with her it should be alright.

"They're in the cells."

Sepide went there immediately. The leader had some concerns about it but quickly brushed off her bad thoughts.

Gwyn noted in her notebook under the attentive eye of Uriel. Emel was waiting in her cell, hoping to be let out.

"What is your relationship with Silv?"

"She kidnapped me! We're enemies!"

"Neige said that apparently you were lying to them, for what purpose?"

"I didn't lie! I really hate Silv!"

"Do you feel any empathy for her? Because of her past or because of the way people treat her for example."

"Well... I don't think she's that bad. If everything went differently she wouldn't have to do any of that."

"I understand."

Gwyn wrote in her notebook. Before she could ask another question, Sepide arrived suddenly and stared at Emel. A fit of unusual anger filled her as she grabbed the bars of the cell and almost yelled at the girl.

"What does Silv want?"

"Eh? Why would I know? She just brings me around."

"Where is she?"

Gwyn placed her hand on Sepide's shoulder in an attempt to calm her down.

"Sepide, calm down. I already asked that, she doesn't seem to know."

Sepide turned back toward Emel. Despite Gwyn's presence, she wasn't calmer than when she arrived.

"I don't want her to hurt anyone else. I need to stop her or else... She'll do horrible things."

"You say that like everything is her fault..." Emel said, visibly scared of Sepide.

"I saw her hurt my friends. I don't want them to be hurt anymore so please... Help us..."

Emel stayed silent for a moment before finally speaking up.

"She wants to join your group."

Sepide and Gwyn looked at each other in surprise, waiting for their prisoner to continue.

"I don't know why, she's obsessed with your Silva. She keeps saying she wants to replace her and be the main character or something."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Asked Gwyn, ready to note her words.

"I just... I knew you wouldn't understand."

"You... Understand her?"

"I've been with her long enough to know that she's not the monster you think, you could give her a chance to see first?"
