I turned back to face the planet and sent a message through our link to all my summons.
"Capture them. I want information on all three organizations. Lyrate, I'm leaving that to you."
The response came instantly. They understood.
I clasped my hands behind my back and hovered there, staring down at Abor. From this height, the chaos below looked almost distant, like ripples on a surface I had already decided to smooth out.
Beside me, Vivi shifted slightly.
"Why are you so angry?" she asked.
I didn't answer immediately.
"I'm not angry," I said after a moment. "I'm… hurt."
She blinked in surprise and quickly fluttered in front of me, hovering close.
"What? Where? Let me see. I can heal you," she said, looking me over.
I shook my head slightly.
"Not physically, Vivi," I replied. "My ego."
She tilted her head, clearly confused.
"Your ego? Why is your ego hurt?" she asked, her small eyes locked onto mine.
I exhaled slowly.
