[The writing is angry, scrawled - not Daitou's usual neat calligraphy. It's the writing of someone who is angry, sleep-deprived, and tired of seeking without finding]

Give them back, you bastards.

I know someone has to be in charge of this gods-cursed hellhole. Whoever you are, give them back.

They're gone.

They'd better.

~~You're treading dangerous ground.~~ [struck a few seconds later]

We have no way of knowing who will be returned here and who won't. In this situation, at least, you're correct. We wait.

Yeah, and how do you plan on damaging something that you can't even see? If you die because of this, then you die and nothing's changed! At least wait to learn something before dying for it.

Maybe some danger is worth it.

I'm sorry.

In a world where they can make us dance at will, threats from one man do not sound like an issue for our jailers. They did not rise to the challenge when I questioned them.

You are certain the people you are missing are truly lost?

Perhaps not, but what else can I do?

I am.

They will not hear. Or care.

I'm a fighter, not a scholar. I know that much.

How do we make them care?

Yeah, okay, I understand that. But that doesn't mean that you go and do something stupid. What if Thalassa comes back and finds out her brother died for something like this?

You're not a scholar, so team up with somebody who is.

What do you think you can do?

If I knew, my son would not be gone. If I could think of any way, anything to do, aside from suicidal writing, I would have done it. That is the only time they notice, when someone writes something foolish.

Plan your revenge rather than rushing into giving up your life for nothing. I doubt your friends would wish for such a thing. It is better to wait until the whole of the Sphere is ready to fight our oppressors.

How is that?

I won't know until I try.

[Some pentaps as he...actually considers this. He's not quite lost enough is own anger to not see the logic in it. He doesn't actually write a reply right now, though]

[Arrows to Krile's comments about the journals, and Stoneface's entries]

[A long pause, then finally...]

I hate this place.

That makes no sense. These journals monitor our life force?

I don't know. Nothing here makes sense.

Unfortunately not.

There are times when it is very easy to hate. I cannot tell you not to. I will not, either.

But sometimes there is still hope.

All you'll accomplish like this is becoming a lesson to the rest of us.
