32 Truth, Delayed (2/2)

”Any idea who that is? ” A familiar voice sounded at my side. It was Celes suddenly positioned in my side.

”Who knows...” I replied, which was kind of a lie.

”Yeah?”

”Yes. By the way, where is Deus?”

”Same as what your goddess is doing. Resting in his realm.”

”Hmm. How predictable”

There were several minutes of silence between us and in that time frame, I tried to distract myself from her, shifting my attention to the little girl sleeping soundly in my arms with her head in my shoulder. ”Why are we always confronted by awkward meet-ups anyway?”, was my main thought at that situation. But it was to be expected though, given that we bought lived most of our lives in the depravity of socialization.

”Hey, Jaiden.”

”Yes?”

”What do you think will happen to those that were just unfortunately dragged alongside us?” I then looked at her and it was apparent in her face that she is concerned for their sake.

”Honestly, I don't know myself. I tried to think of it earlier, but I came up with nothing but irrational maybes. For now, it's best for us to listen to that announcer.”

”Yeah. You're right. It would be without merit to worry about them now. ” Celes replied, which was an interesting point of view. Merit eh?

Well, setting that aside, the announcer is really taking his time preparing. It's hard to wait in this kind of situation, especially for them. While each of us bares different motives to listen to this announcement, may it be to know the rules that govern, to know what will happen to these bunch who got dragged here, or to know what and where we were transported into, I can highly relate to them...

To have answers for the questions that boggles us to no end is the very highest fulfillment as of now, and while the truth is a little delayed, there is very limited choice, and to wait is probably the best.
