At that point, after that conversation, it looked like ZRAEL really had targeted us in a game to try to get at me.
If they wanted me dead like that—enough to try to use the games—then it was a crisis I needed to resolve as quickly as possible, while keeping things as separate from LiliS as I could.
In my homeland, a duel is traditional when an argument can be resolved no other way: it's a way to prevent bloodshed from spiraling further.
—Before I go on, I should say, ahead of time, that in the end, no one was hurt.
But: I challenged Requiem to a duel to the death. There was a member each of sensitIV and pep!pep! present, but it never got that far. I could see that there was something holding Requiem back—and that is how I found out in time that it really had been a misunderstanding.
If Requiem had been wholly honest at the start, it might not have happened. The first fault lies with me, though. I thought that ZRAEL must have fed you a polite lie—and so I failed to trust your judgment of them.
