Arch of Destiny: Tome arch. #2

Morie Uratsagi

The Arch of Destiny... they're early this cycle.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

Morie... we need to talk.

Morie Uratsagi

Now's not the time for your games, Kana.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

I know I messed everything up. But Tiana's been crying for weeks.

Morie Uratsagi

She made her choice. We both know she's not capable of... complexity.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

She's confused! She doesn't understand what she wants because—

Morie Uratsagi

Because she's a child. Unlike us who've seen the abyss.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

I just... I miss how things were. When we were all just students.

Morie Uratsagi

Those days were an illusion. You know that better than anyone.

Morie Uratsagi

Something's coming. Bigger than teenage drama.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

You're still... protecting us?

Morie Uratsagi

I promised to protect her smile. Even if she hates me for it.

Morie Uratsagi

Lose the smile. It doesn't suit someone who nearly drowned in someone else's life.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

Old habits. The original Kana smiled when she was scared... or about to be cruel.

Morie Uratsagi

You didn't know Tiana was aromantic. But still, being rejected hurts. But I have more important things to deal with right now.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

Sorry... but I thought if you two worked, maybe Etsudo would stop staring... Guess only half of my plan worked...

Morie Uratsagi

Teenage hormones are noise. You're still my assistant. Three months of training wasn't for nothing.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

So... you still need me? Even after I ruined everything?

Morie Uratsagi

The Illuminati isn't a conspiracy theory. We're the reason humanity still believes reality makes sense.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

You mean... all those times you disappeared during lunch...

Morie Uratsagi

The Arch of Destiny returns tonight. Angels delivered it millennia ago—twelve tomes, one key to rewrite reality itself.

Unui 'Alt' Kana

Let me guess... we're the team that wants to protect the world and the status quo?

Morie Uratsagi

The MSTR wants to use the Arch to change the world. And in the process, cause chaos that would end in massive casualties. We can't let them get it!

Unui 'Alt' Kana

Then let's make sure the only casualties are the ones who chose this war. Teach me to fight, Morie. Not just train—teach me to protect Tome while everyone else worries about homework.
