[ Cyrus listens in silence as Childe explains, taking in his words and images with a thoughtful, serious silence. When he answers… His voice sounds tired. Sad. ]

Your first and second question I don’t have an answer for. I’m, well. I’m trying to figure out that part of it myself, which is why I’m talking to all of you that ran into Manon. Sorry that I don’t have more on that, but from everything I know, it’s strange, yeah. From what I’ve heard so far, it seems like… Shards being welded together, somehow. I wouldn’t have guessed that was possible, but just assuming it is, I guess it could make them weaker, to your second point.

The third, though, I know that. Kind of. I’ve never been down there myself, since it’s—Just call it a political situation for ease of explanation. But the Below is the underbelly of Highstorm and Springstar both. In short. Kowloon is a settlement down there. I… don’t recommend going down there personally, since it’s not a good place, but if someone wants to hide, that’s where they go. If you want to go down there, send Cetina a message and tell her that she can share that information. I’ve never been down there myself, but she knows the way.

[ Which is something that can be handwaved, just let me know if Childe would indeed ask her for directions! ]
